TBH I'd need to know a lot more than just the year and mileage for each van before making a decision.

You need to look at other things like what condition is each van in, how many owners the vans have had, accident reports, what region the vans were used in (I'd avoid anything used w/heavily salted roads or near the ocean), what repairs have been done the trim level for each van, and features the '14 model may have added compared to the '13.

Yes, this one is more, but considering all the others, a real bargain.


Are you a car salesman? OP gave his budget and you were showing a car $10k, 60% higher

That's like the shite they'll do on Jalopnik. A person will write in saying they need a family car for $12k max and their writers will start suggesting the person get shite like a Toyota FJ or a manual VW Golf hot hatch.

Take them to a mechanic and have them inspect the vans. Mileage means crap if the van wasn't taken serviced regularly.

How reliable is the CARFAX service history? Obviously I trust the title and accident reports, but I wonder how accurate the service history is.

Since you are coming from a Honda, you know about the timing belt maintenance. If the 115k has had this done, that's the one to buy. If it hasn't been done, make the dealer do it before you buy.
