So Car Talk family, I need your expertise. Looking to purchase a 04 Town & Country with all the bells and whistles except the rear entertainment package. Mileage is just under 115,000. Dealer is asking $4700. Bank says it’s worth twice that much. Is there anything I should be checking that might lend to the low cost? According to Auto Check it didn’t travel across state lines and it wasn’t involved in a wretch. Thank you. ---

Best to take it to your local mechanic and for $100 or $150 have them look it over. They will know what to look for and can give you a good idea of what the van may need. I have a 2005, it needed a new power sttering pump and not much else. The auto check services only report what has been reported to them so take it with a grain of salt. ---

Actually the asking price is in line with the current market value for these,other than a full checkup from a mechanic you should have a decent van for the price. ---

I have a hard time believing it is worth more than $5000 , at least for the private sale price. @SteveCBT has it spot on. Before getting out your checkbook, pay $100 or so to your local inde mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection. ---

I have a hard time believing the bank saying the vehicle is worth more than the dealer asking price. ---

I don’t believe the bank said that, I believe the dealer said the bank said that. ---

Another vote for @SteveCBT’s suggestion. Spending $100-$150 for a local independent mechanic inspection (not the dealer’s) can be viewed as insurance to protect you against a later much larger repair expense. ---
