Shhh...don't tell anyone...keep minivans cheap!
I have had far fewer problems with our 15-year-old Dodge Grand Caravan vs our 10-year-old Chevy Suburban.
My car is 20 years old - 1998 Camry. The plan to drive it until it dies.
I still own and drive my first vehicle - a 1978 Jeep CJ5 Renegade. I intend to eventually be buried in it.
My main issue with minivans, is that I virtually never have any passengers other than Frank. I'd be perfectly happy with an SUV with no second or third row, but a second row seems obligatory even though what I really want is cargo space. ...
Oops, too late. I do like the point about how sliding doors don’t ding every vehicle in the vicinity.
Imagine a ding-free world! Don’t you just hate that first one on your new ride?
We had a mini-van when our kids were little, and the sliding doors and ding-free result were something I was always very happy with, and seldom mentioned.
When a small kid gets out of a car, they may not be able to hold onto that big door, and they may ding the car next to them. That never happens with the sliding doors. They were great with small kids!

1997 Toyota Camry - 170,000 runs like a kitten. Will keep until it drives no more.
2004 Toyota Camry - 273,000 runs like a kitten. Will keep until it drives no more.
Bodies are in good condition. A little rust on the 1997. We bought them new and took care of them.
