NO WAY!!
i was thinking it was okay til u started on the accident. You have no idea how he fixed the damage, and I wouldnt trust a random guy. AND so many miles for a 2002.. sheesh.
Ask for $2000

The price sounds below blue book, but you should look it up on-line. You can also check carfax.com and/or carfacts.com and get a report to see how honest the seller is being with you. Request repair receipts to see if OEM parts were use to repair damage. I would have 1000 questions for the seller, request an extensive test drive, including highway and passing gears as well as quick braking, cornering and of course stopping. You need to observe gas consumption, any noticeable pulling while accelerating or braking. You may want to check into some kind of extended warranty plan.
Heck, I could go on and on, cuz I'm always wondering why it's being sold. I'd want to know who was at fault in the accident and if anyone died in it. But that's just me being weird.
$4000 is not a bad price for that year, although I don't know the style (minivan or what) if everything checks out, sounds fair. Good luck to you

Okay, take this advice, please.... Okay, huge turn off should be the town and country. Chrysler (dodge) has a few issues you should know about. The brake systems, particularly the rotors and components leave alot to be desired. The rotors warp easily which leads to tire and rotational balance problems. Head gaskets are a huge problem on the V6 models. 121,000 miles is absolutely too much. Especially with a wreck in the past. This car is worth $2500.00. No dealer or competent person would buy it without assessing the amount of damage when it was wrecked. Go to www.carfax.com to recieve a vehicle history report. If the accident was paid for by insurance, it will be in the report under the vin number. Never buy a used car without one! Hope this helps, as a mechanic, I felt obligated.

DONT BUY ANY MINI VANS!!!!!!!!!!
They are all a nightmare.
I had 2 Ford Windstars. Both engines went and both Trannys went. I later talked to many mechanics and they said that there are more minivans in transmission shops than anything.
Also, never buy a car that has been in an accident. That car may look good but it will never be the same internally. To many miles on that car.
SUV's have a lot less problems go with one of them. go on the internet under reviews on the town and country. Also, check the recall list.
If you see a mini van R U N the other way
Hope this helps

that sounds like a pretty good deal,but before you buy it take it and have it checked out real good,and make sure the accident didn't leave any permanent damage to it,make sure it drives real good,if every things alright on it that's not to bad of a deal,see if the guy will come down on the price of it,it needs to be cheaper,good luck on it.

i wouldnt buy it.. it has a lot of miles on it.. i also dont like the fact that the car had an accident.. he might have fixed it but it might still show signs of the impact later on.. also, that car is not known for its reliability.. i would look for a honda odyssey or a toyota sienna.. they might cost a little more but they will be more reliable down the road.. good luck!

It is a good deal BUT before you buy it take it to a trusted mechanic and make sure the frame isn't bent. If the frame is bent then you are going to be replacing tires ever few months and it isn't worth it.

you say the car has only 121 miles on the odometer .... if that is true then buy the car and go to the alignment store right away and if it is or ain't in align you still got a good deal cause $4000.00 dollars is a good steal on that car.......
