Considering buying a used Uplander
Are there any tips that owners of Uplander/Terraza/Montana owners have here for a person looking to purchase one? Any problems to look for? Would you recommend one to a former Chrysler minivan owner?

As a former owner of an 08 Uplander may I suggest that you look at something else. Your Chrysler was much better and actually almost anything is much better.
I'd list all of the things that we repaired on it in its first 8 years but the list would be very long...

My wife's 2017 Grand Caravan in fact gets 25mpg on trips, but my previous 1991 Grand Voyager got up to 27mpg on the highway.
In this forum some claimed that the 3.5 in the Impala was better in town than the 3.9. But not by much.

Is there really a consensus that the Uplander/Montana/Terraza minivans are more unreliable in general than other minivans? I have seen complaints about the power side doors. I prefer standard manual doors anyway. But I would like to know about other common issues.

DLB, where do you live?
I live in Southern Ontario Canada not far from Detroit. A lot of the faults I encountered with my 2007 was rust (salt) related.
Overall I was quite pleased with my 2007 Uplander LS RWB (no-frills model)
My son and his family have it now and it is still a daily driver for them with minimal upkeep. I do the regular maintenance on the van and it has performed well.
