This!

Our office had a 2016 Caravan that got 155k miles on it before it was hit by a snowplow. The couriers and office managers beat the hell out of it on a daily basis, but it was always reliable.

Congrats! Enjoy it and love it. I hope it serves your family well.

Jesus, I didn't even know they made the Dodge Caravans anymore! They were all the rage when minivans first became a thing in the late 80s. My mom's was awful - threw the oil pump chain, I think, and required an engine rebuild less than 10 years in. We got one as a rental a decade ago, and it drove like a tank and the turning radius was enormous - I thought they'd gone the way of the dodo because Kia Sedona replaced them as the low-budget option. I think I know one person with a Town & Country, but everyone else still sporting a minivan has a Sienna or an Odyssey.

I also wouldn't buy a one-year-old car with two years' worth of miles on it already, either, but that's just me. We paid about the same for a two-year-old, whatever's-below-Limited model Sienna that had 25K miles on it.

35K miles on a 2019? Geez. That's a lot of mileage.
