21. So if I want a Dodge Caravan, I might be better off to buy used?

I was looking at the new Town and Country's minivan. Not too fond that they made the shape really boxy and T&Cs are expensive, but I have LOVED the two Caravans we previously owned. The only reason we traded our Sebring is because we need space for playpens and baby stuff. Both Caravans lasted quite awhile. Right now, we are all Ford (F350 for towing and a 2006 Taurus for a family car), but really miss the space of the Caravan now that kids want friends to travel with us.
