My daily is a 2013 Veloster Turbo. It's not a bad       car, but is miserable if you need to carry more than one passenger lol. I had       a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, but I idiotically murdered it. It was running       rough and threw a misfire code so I figured I'd start by changing the plugs.       The back three are really hard to get to and I did not realize my ratchet was       at an angle so I started to torque the plug and ended up shearing it off in the       block. (sigh)              So that was the end of that van. I was quoted $1200-1500 to have it fixed, and       it isn't really worth putting that into as it's pretty rusty. So I was       thinking about a last generation T&C. I've heard though they have transmission       issues. Of course, I hear that about ALL Mopar products, lol. My GC never had       any trans issues. I was just curious what peoples' experiences are, if anyone       has any with the last gen T&C.              I like the amenities, the specs seem decent, I really like how the sliding door       windows are movable and it looks decent. Just don't wanna get into a money       pit.              I had a 2000 BMW 740i sport once, loved that car but talk about a money pit. I       had it for five years and it cost me just under thirty thousand in maintenance       - and that's at an indy using internet sourced parts. Not even going to the       dealer. Though sometimes using cheap parts ended up costing me more; after a       few low lifespan purchases I started buying more costly OE stuff. But anyway,       yea, after that car I tend to try to avoid maintenance headache vehicles :D       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Win32        * Origin: Diamond Mine Online BBS - bbs.dmine.net:24 (1:275/89)       SEEN-BY: 4/0 80/1 88/0 90/0 1 92/1 105/81 106/201 116/5 124/5016 128/260       SEEN-BY: 129/305 134/100 135/220 225 138/142 146 153/135 143 148 149       SEEN-BY: 153/151 757 802 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 261/38 266/512 275/89 100 1000 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 320/219 322/757 341/66 200 234       SEEN-BY: 342/11 200 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 712/1321 770/1 900/0 100 102 106 108 902/0 7 10 19 25 26       SEEN-BY: 902/27 100 3634/12 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 275/89 1000 153/7715 757 280/464 341/66 902/26 90/1 229/426           |
