Silhouette, Town & Country, ETA: or Grand Caravan or other? On a budget :)

I currently own a 2002 Dodge grand caravan and love everything about it! It has 155,000 miles on it and still runs like a champ! I am looking for a new vehicle soon also and will be staying with Dodge, (we live in a snow belt and the van has a lot of body rust and the interior is trashed from having the little kids in it for the last 6 years!) My husband and I both own Dodges and have in the past, we are definately run the vehicle into the ground kind of people. I have put brakes and tires on it but that is normal maintenence. I got to drive a brand new T & C last year for a trip and it was nice and pretty and had all the bells and whistles but to be honest my seats in the caravan are way more comfortable (maybe that is because they have been molded to my butt cheeks the last 6 years, HA, HA!) I am a huge fan of Dodge and will buy another!

I drove my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan for almost 12 years and I have to agree that the seats were super comfortable, my new Honda Pilot seats feel like we're sitting on boxes . My kids miss the van. The interior held up very good for having 4 kids live in it for 9 plus years . I couldn't believe when my husband went to shine it up for trade in how great the seats looked, in spite of all the spills, vomit and God knows what else was spilled on them. We had 118,000 miles on it when we traded it in last month and probably only spent $1000 in repairs and maintenance while we owned it.
