Has anyone replaced an engine on one of these vans and have an approximate cost? found a AWD one locally with 225k miles and know a new engine will be in my future and just curious what to expect
How many miles are you planning to put on?
I am at 250k and running strong. I expect to get another 50k at least before I rebuild . For me that is years of use

Not sure, until it dies I guess and I don't want to keep it going. The van doesn't have a great history, odometer rollback reported on carfax, its a super steal so I am trying to consider the cost of a new engine into the price to determine if the deal is still good, realistic mileage based off rollback is probably around 270k. I plan to get a thorough run through of the drivetrain before I buy to make sure there aren't any issues, but just want to do some research first of course.

It will be a daily driver in the winter, otherwise my commute can be handled by bike the rest of the year.

You are going to love having your rig at work.
For lunch you can use the kitchen to make a hot meal or coffee or tea on break.
I have even been known to crash in the parking lot after a very long day at work instead of driving home in the middle of the night
