We have a 2005 dodge grand caravan that we have owned for 10 years, recently we have been looking at 2014 Chrysler Town and Country models as a replacement. The base 2014 comes with leather, DVD, fog lights, etc. Average price with under 30,000 miles $19,995. Seems like a lot of car for the money, our Caravan has had it's share of issues over the years I was wondering how the newer models stack up.

The Pentastar 3.6L v6 is a solid engine.
They are pulling the plug on the Caravan and will only sell the T&C pretty soon.
I had a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The 3.6L engine is a peach. Strong, smooth, reliable. The 6-speed automatic transmission was less so. It always felt like it wanted to stall when coming to a stop from 2nd to 1st downshifts, but other than that no problems. I think Dodge and Chrysler has ironed out most of the major problems. You're right though, it's a lot of car for the money.
I have a very wealthy friend who prefers driving his T&C over his BMW.
A really sweet smooth ride, very quiet. I can see why he likes it...

the "replacement" small van is the Ram ProMaster City, aka Fiat Doblo

the only engine option for the US is the 2.4l Tigershark 4cyl, with a 9 speed auto (948TE)
Passenger versions only have seating for 5, 2 buckets up front, and a 3 butt bench in back.

We've got 36K miles on our 2013 Grand Caravan SE. I paid $20K for it back in Aug 2013. It's been a great van for us.
If all the options are important to you, ~$19-20K is a good deal for a 2014 T&C. Or you can go basic and get a new one for that price.
Like said, the Pentastar V6 and 62TE trans is a great drivetrain. The ride, handling and performance of these vans is great.
