I had a '99 dodge van that I bought new (I'm a lifetime Mopar driver) and I have NEVER had as many problems with that van as I have had with any other vehical. I ended up selling it in less than 3 years before the 36K warrenty went out and it was already on its second motor. The V-8's are better (mine was the V6), but I would have a mechanic go over it with a fine toothed comb first (especially electrical). $100 for a mechanic to look at it is cheaper than the first tow.<br>
