Bought our 2000 MPV used and haven't had much trouble with it - front discs need replaced (second time) at 80,000 miles - they chatter. Radio died about two years ago and I replaced it with an MP3 player from Crutchfield. Just yesterday the ominous coolant puddle appeared under the rear passenger tire so I am going to have to tackle this and I see from another post that the culprit is most likely the steel supply lines. Makes you wonder what manufacturers are thinking, if they are thinking at all. The 2.8L is too wimpy, I wish ours had the larger engine, but it is pretty decent on gas mileage. It has never let us down even though it has some age and a couple minor problems. The oil change setup is stupid - there is no way to drain oil and remove the filter without having half of it drip onto the frame and undercarriage plastic.
