 We bought our van used in 2000(52K 
miles).  It now has 98K miles. We have 
had one major repair (@ approx. 85K 
miles)-a sensor on the motor had to be 
replaced because of hesitating--a few 
hundred dollars.  No problems since 
then. My only complaints are wind 
noise from the driver side window and 
the engine sounds a little like a 
truck--somewhat noisy.  I have three 
small children in booster seats, and 
we have PLENTY of room.  The 3.8L 
engine has very adequate power.  I 
have no problem picking up speed to 
merge into freeway traffic. Even after 
98K miles it still performs as well as 
it did when I bought it--no pinging 
even with 87 octane gasoline.
