2005 Chrysler Town and Country Review: Outclassed by Honda and Toyota Minivans on Everything but Price

Gilbert Smith

Feb 27, 2023

The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country isn’t a bad minivan by any means, but it’s outclassed in more ways than not by the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. Standard features here are relatively skimpy, and it’s not the most fuel-efficient option. But, prices start at under four grand.

The Good

Spacious, powerful, surprisingly nimble for its massive size, and comfortable enough to sleep in on long road trips.

The Bad

Way too many features are locked behind higher trim levels, including anti-lock brakes and fold-flat seating.

Is the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country a Good Used Car?

Overall Rating 7/10 – Not nearly the best used minivan on the market. In fact, it’s probably not even in the top three. But it might be the best you’re going to get for the price.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 9/10 – Luxury RVs are more comfortable, but not by a very wide margin. The suspension has held up well and the interior feels like a cozy hotel room on wheels.
Reliability 7/10 – You’re probably going to have a bunch of little electrical issues to fix over the years, but major mechanical failures are few and far between.
Safety 6/10 – Onboard safety tech is outdated, that can’t really be helped. But way too many features are hidden away in the higher trim levels. Anti-lock brakes as a standard feature isn’t that big an ask for a 2005 minivan.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – The Base model averages 19/26 miles to the gallon, city/highway. There are more efficient minivans out there, but the Town & Country is more economical than you’d guess for its massive size.
Value 8/10 – Low pricing might be the only reason you’d buy a Town & Country over a Sienna, but you’re looking at a difference of around two thousand bucks.

Positive Owner Reviews

Judith F

Dependable van. The van I own is reliable if regular maintenance performed.

I have had to make repairs that were somewhat intense, but that was after 12 years. I am very good at having the oil changed when needed as well as other regular maintenance. I love the heated seats in the winter, but also the seats are comfortable. The four automatic doors are very nice as well. I also love the color of my van.

Bart N

Love my 2005 Chrysler t&c.

Always a problem with driver side power window. Paint clear coat peeling in several places. Too expensive to have repainted. Has a total of 146500 miles and still runs like new. It is a wp Chrysler touring model. Leather interior CD player and DVD video.

DeeDee M

It's been low maintenance and dependable. It has all the room we need to haul all of my disability supplies (scooter, walker).

It has been a great vehicle, love the stow and go seating. It is comfy. Wish it had sirius capability and a hook up for the phone charger though.

Alma F

Reliable, comfortable, and fuel efficient.

My vans performance is average. It drives well to my desired location, but it has issues picking up speed. For example I cannot go from 30 mph to 70mph instantly like newer models mine takes about a minute before it picks up speed. Other than that the inside is spacious and comfortable.

Gregory M

The ease of making more room inside by just folding the seats into the floor

Like the room it has inside the ease of making more room by just folding the seats into the floor.I dislike the fact that the rear power socket needs to be reset by a dealer

Heather O

The Town & Country is a versatile, economic, all-around, reliable family vehicle.

There is room enough to carry all my family at one time. The seats fold away inside the van if I need to make room to carry large items. It gets good gas mileage. It is easy to get in and out of. My only complaint is that it is getting older and Chrysler no longer makes the Town & Country; they've gone to the Pacifica now and it is not the same configuration. I will have to find another kind of vehicle to replace it with.

Rachel M

It comes with stereo useful button on the back of steering wheel.

My van is a smooth driver. The interior is a light tan color. The seats are made with a pleather time feeling or known as a soft material. It runs with 16s size tires. The bad thing about it there is not spare. My ban sits 2 passengers in the from 3 in the middle seat and 2 in the rear seat. It has a lot of space for carrying larger items. The seats can fold into a stow and go' this means the seats are flush with the floor when they are put away.

Roberta P

It is a beautiful well made car. Drives like a dream.

Its reliable and roomy its high end and came with all the bells and whistles. I love the color and the leather seats and adjustable gas pedal.

Negative Owner Reviews

corisa w

It's absolutely terrible on gas. Constant malfunctions with the power doors and windows

My vehicle is terrible on gas. The only thing i like is that it seats seven.

Maryjo S

Travels well in all kinds of weather.Very versatile. Can be used to transport people or objects.

I like the roominess. I can have up to 8 people in the van. I can haul things if needed. All around vehicle.

Roger M

Banged up, has leaks and ceiling is glued or tacked on.

It has served me well but finances do not allow me to replace it or I would, getting older stinks but beats alternatives.

Connie B

Don't Buy This Van If you need a low maintenance vehicle, think of something else to buy

I hate my minivan, it is the worst vehicle I have had, ever. It is bad on snow and ice. I have had at least five expensive repair bills since I bought the van a year ago.

Kathy S

It was a reliable car when we first purchased it.

I am tired of driving a minivan. Interior is old. Want a SUV dive it all the time need something new and exciting.

Crystal K

I hate this vehicle so much I'd rather walk.

I hate this vehicle because all it does is give me mechanical problems. It's not cute to drive and has left me stranded many times. Unfortunately I need a large vehicle with 5 kids making us a family of 7. Its practical but not ideal. I am ready to get rid of it.

Lorna S

For as old as it is it is in good shape.

Struts are bad needs tires tune up radiator. Has a loan against it. Dents in back of car. Vibrates while sitting at a light. The left side door does open. It does not perform right. Bits not reliable. It is ok comfortable has a CD radio in it plays good. Needs new wipers.

Tommy M

Do not buy this car and do not but from Chrysler in general

Terrible car. Drives slow, breaks down. Has more problems than any other car I've ever owned. Made cheap

What Do Critics Say About the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country?

Consumer Reports name the Town & Country the “costlier cousin” to the Dodge Grand Caravan. They report that the ride is pleasant, the interior is flexible with fold-flat seating, and it can handle light cargo loads. But road noise is somehow worse than in the 2004 model, and it falls behind its leading competitors.

Kelley Blue Book users give the Town & Country a decent 83% recommendation, praising the minivan’s longevity, comfortable interior, and easy maintenance. Drivers note a handful of electrical issues and the generally “uncool” look of the van as minuses.

Edmunds liked the ride and handling, praising the torque 3.8L V6 engine and the luxurious interior with fold-flat seats and more headroom than you’ll ever need. They note the van’s history of breakdowns and lack of standard safety features as negatives.

What Common Problems Does the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Have?

Electrical issues make up 164 of the 2005 Town & Country’s 855 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The most worrying issue being reported sees flickering lights and malfunctioning instruments followed by electrical fires and burning wires.

The minivan has been recalled twice for airbag issues, most recently in early 2010, but airbag complaints persist into 2022. Drivers report defective airbag sensors, meaning that the vehicle will fail to deploy the airbags in the event of an accident.

Engine and powertrain issues are scarce, proving that the 2005 Town & Country is more reliable than some of the earlier models. But, a few drivers have reported stalling and lurching at under 200,000 miles.

The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country has 7 recalls and 855 complaints on file with the NHTSA. Both of these numbers are within reason for a vehicle this old.

How Long Will the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Last?

Drivers typically report that the Town & Country will last 200,000 miles on the low end, or 250,000 on the high-end. There are reports of the van reaching around half a million miles, but that’s simply not gonna happen in a used model. Start shopping around for a replacement at 225,000.

RepairPal estimate an annual maintenance cost of $636, with the most expensive common fix being a new rack and pinion system starting at around $1,152. If this occurs past 200,000 miles it might be more cost-effective to replace the whole vehicle.

S S

Yes it is very reliable. The only main issue is the headliner is coming off. There has not been any real issues as far as the motor is concerned.

Annette R

It is the most reliable van I have ever drove in my life. I have drove Chevrolet vans and dodge vans and a ford windstar. I would choose this van over any other out there.

Tamika D

I brought my 2005 used but I haven't had any major problems with it besides regular maintenance and upgrade of the vehicle. It is very reliable and a good van to have.

Lynn H

As I said, it very reliable and there are no problems. We had a minor problem but easily had it fixed.

Samantha M

Not at the moment. It starts up every single day as a work van. I move someone every single evening.

L P

It is very reliable and the parts are not hard to find. It don't have any problems but you have to keep it maintain.

Gary Y

Now a days there have been a few minor problems that have popped up due to it being old such as frequently oil changing and changing the tires and repairing the brakes

Trevor B

I haven't had a problem neither did my parents when they had it. If you keep up on a car it’s more likely to last longer as everything needs upkeep to stay nice and new

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology onboard the 2005 Town & Country is pretty good for the model year. CD players come standard and the higher trims are available with DVD navigation systems.

Safety technology is good for 2005, but too many features are tucked away in the higher trim levels. Anti-lock brakes, for instance, are not available in the Base model.

Is the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country a Good Value?

The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country is priced fairly, and cost of ownership is moderate. A Base model typically lists at around $3,268 in the Blue Book, with under 160,000 miles on the odometer. A Limited model lists for about a thousand dollars higher, at around $4,257.

Major mechanical repairs can be expensive when they’re needed, but they are few and far between.

What are the Different Models of the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country?

The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country is available in four trim levels, from the self-explanatory Base to the high-end Limited.

Touring and Limited models feature a 3.8L V6 producing 205 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque at 18/25 miles to the gallon. This is paired to a 4-speed automatic and configured in front wheel drive.

What Colors Does the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country?

A 2005 Chrysler Town & Country is easily one of the most comfortable vehicles on the market at any price. With 67.6 inches of rear hip room you’ve got enough space to lay down and take a nap.

The ride is smooth, and there are few suspension complaints on file, so the shocks and struts have held up nicely over the years.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Have?

The back end of the Town & Country can pack 15 cubic feet of cargo, which puts it about on par with the trunk of a sedan.

Fold down the back row and you’ve got 147 cubic feet. Fold down the middle row and you’ve got 168. That’s more than enough space to store all the supplies you need for road trips, conventions, and small furniture hauls.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

2005 was the fifth model year in the Town & Country’s 4th Generation, which lasted from 2001 to 2007.

2002: Chrysler overhauled the structure of the Town & Country for 2002 in response to poor crash test scores they earned in 2001.

2003: One touch sunroofs were new for 2003.

2004: The LXi and EL trims were dropped for 2004, and the Base model was added.

2005: The Town & Country got a styling overhaul in 2005 with tech upgrades and sleeker edges to modernize the minivan.

2006: Back row DVD players are new for 2006.

2007: Fold-flat seating was added to the LX trim for 2007.

How Does the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Compare to the Competition?

The 2005 Toyota Sienna is widely regarded as the market leading minivan for the mid-00s. It features more standard features, and it’s more fuel efficient. It typically lists for a couple thousand dollars more than the Town & Country, and you might not want to spend six grand on a twenty year old minivan.

A 2005 Honda Odyssey is typically priced at around one thousand dollars more than a Town & Country, and, like the Sienna, has way more standard features on board than the base Town & Country.

The 2005 Chrysler Town & Country isn’t nearly the best 2005 minivan, but it’s one of the best you’re going to find for under $5,000.

Rosalina M on March 29, 2021

They last a very long time.

I do not have any complaints about my vehicle. It has taken my family and I on a lot of trips. I love this car.

Joann K on March 29, 2021

There are many little storage areas that I am still discovering.

I like the stow and go seating. The seats retract into the floor so I can carry multiple and large items. I am able to transport up to 7 people. The doors are automatic. The DVD player keeps children occupied. The air conditioning is controllable in the front seat as well as the rear.

Kitty P on March 28, 2021

Nothing special about it. It's to drive my toddler, do shopping. Etc. Mom Life

It's our main vehicle to drive our child around. Our other car doesn't have back seats so we drive her in the van to fit her car seat inside. It's an old van, but it's reliable and works well.it's great for grocery shopping and fits her stroller I side. We removed the very last row of seats

Jasmin G on March 26, 2021

2005 Chrysler town & country.

I,ve been having my car for over 4 or 5 years. Currently, it has a few damages like the thermometer. It tends to heat a lot. There are other problems like some pipes. Additionally, sometimes the transmission changes fail to go and the car turns off..

Destiny S on March 25, 2021

2005 Chrysler town and country.

For a larger vehicle the mileage is very good. The seats are comfortable. The hideaway seats make it very easy to fit multiple things that you wouldn't be able to fit in other vehicles. The headlight switch can sometimes be an issue, but is easily fixable.

MARY B on March 16, 2021

IT DRIVES SMOOTH. IT HAS LOADS OF SPACE TO CARRY EXTRA PASSENGERS OR LARGE ITEMS.

I LIKE THE ATO LOCKS ON DOORS. I LIKE THAT THE BACK WINDOWS DO NOT OPEN. I LIKE THE SPACE TO CARRY LARGE ITEMS AND THAT THE SEATS FOLD DOWN FLAT.

Diana K on March 14, 2021

Chrysler town & country in my opinion is a vehicle that is great for a family.

I bought this car brand new and I have never had any problems with this vehicle except the rusting out around the bottom other than that this vehicle has provided me with excellent transportation I can fold all the seats down and haul most anything in the roomy cabin and as far as a road trip this is the best riding vehicle I have had if I was to buy another vehicle it would be another town & country by Chrysler.

Regina Z on March 14, 2021

It makes a loud noise when the doors lock and it so loud that it startles people

It is old .... I really wish I had a new car... Mine is not dependable

Nick W on March 13, 2021

Roomy with lots of space to move things and for family.

There is some rust on the outside that I cannot get rid of. The headliner is falling out, but other that that it is a great car.

Brian cassidy on March 11, 2021

Battery light came on, jumped it and it went off then came back on

While I was driving the battery light came on but a half hour later all the instrument panel lights came on so I pulled over cuz I was going to die I called somebody over with jumper cables charger for like 10 minutes and it started All the Lights Went Away I'm about 10 minutes later the battery light came on again

Kelly K on March 10, 2021

Lots of seating! Plenty of storage space when the seats are stowed.

I love this van! It has plenty of room and can fit 7 people rather comfortably. My only complaint would be that with all 3 rows of seats up there is not a lot of storage in the back. I have the stow and go seats so both the middle and 3rd rows fold flat into the floor, giving the van a lot of storage space.

Jennifer N on March 5, 2021

It has very low miles and is great on trips. It drives very good

It has just enough space for all of us. I enjoy the stow and go

Pam D on March 5, 2021

Family friendly vehicle with comfort

Love it, have had no major issues. Very roomy , comfortable. Not great gas mileage. Would definitely recommend. Great for families

Huck P on March 4, 2021

It is the best minivan, in my humble opinion, for the money.

It is very roomy. I like the Stow Go Seating. It is old and has some electrical problems. I would love to replace it with a newer model.

Emily H on March 4, 2021

That it has sow and go seats it makes it easy to haul things. It has quick connects for easy car seat installation.

I like the amount of room it has in it. I like the stow and go seats. I like that it has quick connects for car seats. I dislike the kubies in the back I wish they both had lids.

Michael L on February 28, 2021

The Reliable Family Van (with minor problems)

The vehicle is in good condition. Side door gets jammed every once in a while. Back door automatically opens but sometimes closes on its own. Has over a 100,000 miles in it already. Other than that it's well maintained.

Tyler F on February 22, 2021

Pros and cons of the 2005 Chrysler town and country touring edition.

Suspension and rust have been an issue. Also the vehicle seems to burn through a lot of oil. Also seems to be that most have radiator issues as well as bearing issues in the wheels. Overall though with a small amount of money put into the vehicle over time it have been a seemingly reliable car I also forgot to mention the issues with the fuel level. It will say you have 100 miles left on the tank and you will run out of fuel.

Gina V on February 21, 2021

Spacious and comfortable minivan.

I love how comfortable this van is. It is very spacious. My children bob the DVD player that comes installed in the van. This van is ideal for long trips or even trips to the grocery store. The seats flip down very easy and make it comfortable 2 transport large items. With living in Wisconsin these fans do have a tendency of rusting. Also the power steering pump gets clogged fairly easy. Other than photos few minor things, my family and I absolutely love our Chrysler town & country minivan.

DeeDee M on February 21, 2021

It's been low maintenance and dependable. It has all the room we need to haul all of my disability supplies (scooter, walker).

It has been a great vehicle, love the stow and go seating. It is comfy. Wish it had sirius capability and a hook up for the phone charger though.

Patricia S on February 17, 2021

Gas mileage is wonderful on this car.

I love how it fits my family and that it has multiple charger ports along with a DVD player. I like how the seats fold down into floor to make more space. There really is not anything I dislike about it that I can think of...

Heather S on February 14, 2021

This car does have a bit of issues. Service checks are needed a little more often than other cars.

This car has a built-in AC and heating system. The back seats can be moved and fold into the floor. There are also a bunch of cup-holders, a glove compartment, and a radio station.

Joann K on February 14, 2021

Reliability and stow and go!

I particularly like the "stow n go" seats. I like to be able to both pick up people and things like a truck. I like the automatic doors. I have never had any problems with it starting. It is also good in the snow. I bought it used and even it is a later model, it has always been reliable. I am presently in the market for a new minivan due to an accident. It is my intention to get another Chrysler town and country.

Vivian G on February 9, 2021

The seats have heaters that helps my back. It is like a heating pad.

I like my van so much. The ride is smooth. I like the features that came with it. It is the right side for what my family needs to use it for. I like to shop and sometimes the items are big. A car will not do. I feel really independent because of my vehicle.

Amanda b on February 8, 2021

It doesn't do so well on gas

The tires always need service, it gives a smooth ride and is very spacious perfect size for me and my family

dee M on February 8, 2021

It runs good. It doesn't get very good gas mileage though.

It has been a reliable and good vehicle. However, it now has over 200,000 miles, and the right back sliding door will no longer open.

Lisa B on February 7, 2021

Everything you want or need in a vehicle.

I love my 2005 Chrysler town & country. It has stow and go. It was perfect for 3 boys playing sports, and perfect for go on long road trips. It has more than enough room to bring everything you could possibly need to go camping. It has over 300,000 miles on it and is still running good.

phyllis K on February 4, 2021

That it is comfortable and has room...

I like my van because it is easy to drive, works great and makes it so convenient to carry passengers and the sliding doors makes for easy in and out. There isn't anything that I dislike about the vehicle, no complaints.

Gregory M on February 2, 2021

The ease of making more room inside by just folding the seats into the floor

Like the room it has inside the ease of making more room by just folding the seats into the floor.I dislike the fact that the rear power socket needs to be reset by a dealer

Mary H on January 31, 2021

Has taken long trips and keeps on ticking!! I bought it with 90,000 and I've put 39,000 in 5 1/2 years!! It just takes me anywhere and I feel comfortable. I do take it to have her looked at and oil changes.

I bought it used in 2012 after Sandy ruined my other van. This van is the best!! Only goes to the mechanic for inspection. It's showing its age yes but more on the outside. It's just a great minivan for being used!!

Tina E on January 30, 2021

Try the Chrysler town and country! Truly a dependable vehicle!

I purchased this vehicle as the 2nd owner. I had no issues until about 7 month after purchase. The radiator has a leak, oil has small leak and the front end need repairs. It is a smooth ride, I love the stow and go feature. It helps greatly that it has a lot of room for traveling. I really like this car!

Leec C on January 26, 2021

Very reliable when you have a busy life with lot of room

Van , love the automatic doors, it's very roomy , great ride and adjustable seats. I love this van for trips and all my kids sports events. Have a grand baby and her car seat fits in well when we take her to stores or anywhere.

Dawn G on January 25, 2021

It's a car that is dependable and strong. My main mechanic visits are for oil changes!

My only problem is the dealer I bought it from did not tell me it was in a flood. I have had no real mechanical issues, mainly rust problems. I love the roominess, the reliability. It moved me and what I could pack from NY to Fl. It's still going strong. It had helped family with moving and fits lots of us for trips to the beach. I have had it over 5 years, and I am hoping to have it much longer.

carol H on January 25, 2021

Will never buy a Chrysler product again

It rusted real fast. The air conditioner went out in the first couple years. We had to replace a lot of different items. Would never by a Chrysler product again

rachel d on January 21, 2021

The Town and Country is a perfect family car, keeping all comfy.

The stow and go seats have been a lifesaver. There is plenty of legroom in every seat no matter how tall. The air, heat and music are able to get to each section of the car.

Courtney L on January 19, 2021

It has plenty of room for my son and if I were to have another child I will have more space.

I like the size of it but we got it used and there are a lot of things we need to do to fix it and I don't want to spend that kind of money to fix it.

Ashley A on January 18, 2021

Wear and tear on town and country.

The van has been great, very reliable and seems to hold up well to wear and tear from young children. The radio/DVD player has issues and wont work and the turn signals are a little crazy at times. I am hard on my vehicles and even the family before had more kids and traveled a lot with the van. It has really held up well for family use.

Kathy S on January 9, 2021

It was a reliable car when we first purchased it.

I am tired of driving a minivan. Interior is old. Want a SUV dive it all the time need something new and exciting.

Natalia M on January 6, 2021

Tv screens, seating lays flat.

Steering is acting up, makes loud sound, balance if off. Electrical past problems! It make a crazy loud sound when you are backing up. We didn't have any problems at first but then the engine light came on. We changed fuel cap and had it checked out but it just has one issues after the next.

Margaret K on December 29, 2020

My mom van: space for me and entertainment for my kids.

I love the space and some of the amenities: heated seats, stow-and-go, DVD player for the kids. It is study and reliable. The issues I have are mostly due to the she is the vehicle. It has low gas mileage compared to newer models. The automatic doors do not always work properly.

Robert A on December 27, 2020

Lots of seating capacity plus storage room with all the seats pulled up

Our vehicle was a bank repo. Got a good price. Good seating. Previous owners took all but 1 headrest. Don't like where the spare tire is located, under the van. Wish they made vehicles with automatic fluid sensors. I hate having to check fluids. I'm not a mechanic.

Katherine T on December 25, 2020

It does really good on gas.

I like it cause it has 3rd row and DVD player for my kids. I don't like it because I would rather drive a SUV. But its gets me where I got to go.

Rhonda A on December 24, 2020

In summary, I think minivans are beneficial in many ways

My Chrysler town and country minivan is perfect for my family. I have a sister who is disabled and this van is extremely easy for her to get in and out of. She can even put her walker in by herself which gives her greater freedom. It gets good gas mileage so we can plan out of town trips more often. In this case the used car dealer was most helpful. I would definitely buy another Chrysler minivan.

Stephanie s on December 22, 2020

It is very dependable and only downfall is the suspension on it

I love that it has a dvd player in it. I hate the suspension

James W on December 19, 2020

Great vehicle to drive and ride.

I have had no problems with this. Bought it use quite a few years ago with 76, 000 miles on it. Now have 236, 000 miles. Gas usage is 22. 3 mpg. Very comfortable front seats and I have had back surgery and knee replacement. Drives very good. One thing that helps is regular maintenance. Have replaced brakes which happens. Does not use or lose oil. Great visual. No blind spots. Paint has held up and no problems with it. Look forward to getting at least 300, 000 miles out of this vehicle. It rides better than my 2015 town & country.

Nothing is interesting about a minivan.

It rust a lot around the door paneling but if you keep up the oil changes and maintenance it will run for years. The power locks stop working and the windows jump off track often. Its an old vehicle but I covered mostly everything about it. This a lot for thirty cents.

Chrysler town and country.

Check engine light is on; remote does not unlock passenger rear door; cracked radiator; comfy; light are not bright; dent on driver side of rear bumper; sometimes it is a gas hog; good radio; drives nice; middle and rear seat reclines; nice amount of space in back.

Perfect for traveling with family.

This has been the best and most comfortable vehicle I've owned. It rides very smooth and perfect to have with kids. I have had no major problems with it, just your normal wear and tear on a vehicle. The DVD system in it has a six discs insert for movies. I wish just wish it had an auxiliary port. I love the stow n go feature.

You cannot fit 3 people in the back if you have two booster seats back there. Also, toddler car seats have to be buckled in almost in between two seats.

I love having the sliding doors so that kids don't open doors and hit other cars. I love how much room is in the trunk. I love the stow and go seats. I dislike the fact that the air goes out and it seems to always have a "something's wrong" light on even when nothing is wrong.

It is a family car.It drives smoothly.

I want an update.Is getting old. Started to have some issues. I would like to get a smaller car but not necessarily a new one cause I can't afFord it.

It may look like a soccer mom van but it's loaded with extras and comfortable as heck

It's old and starting to fall apart. It's been faithful though and I'm just trying to get one more year out of it because we will have some other bills paid off by then and it will feel okay to have a car payment again then. It served our family well but we are almost kid-free and ready for a sedan.
