Minivan prices

This is more of a venting post. Our 2012 Honda Odyssey needs about 2K worth of repairs, though only at 112k miles and we are in the market to replace it. I am in disbelief at what new minivans are going for. Not that I was living under a rock last few years and had a sense for the market, but it’s still shocking to see advertised prices, without fees/taxes etc….at 40/50K for base models. And don’t even get me started on Toyotas. Briefly thought of may be going with something different, but 35K for a used Sienna with 100K miles is insane. Why is this happening and who is actually paying these prices??? Plus on top of that the whole car buying and dealership experience that one has to endure. I know I am the old man yelling at the clouds…but just spent the weekend trying to find a replacement and get some estimates for the trade in and had to vent. Sigh.
