I know a family that is looking for a people mover. They have a limited budget under $15K and want a 2000 onwards vehicle. They were looking at a Chrysler Grand Voyager.

I know there are many negatives for the Chrysler, mainly repair costs and parts waits.

What about a T4 Caravelle. Any common negatives?

Any alternative brand people movers?

Opinions or facts, I am interested to read about.

OK, so lets say the T4 TDi is a good search.

I would say auto is wanted.

What other brand vehicles are comparable?
