Our van has been very good to us as a family vehicle and all around transportation provider.  We have had it for over eight years now, and although we have had some minor repair bills for it due to an unfortunate fender-bender and a few other mechanical issues, it has served us very well.  It’s actually ten years old now, as we bought it used from the dealer.  So it is one of the older cars on the road as cars go these days.

Being as old as ten, it’s probably going to require a little more care than when it was younger.  For example, it even appears to remind us of that by making sure the check engine light comes on faithfully when we least expect it.  It might be time to look into getting a 5th wheel warranty.   But we hope to have it for a few more years yet, and hope that it continues to give us many miles more.
