2014-15+ will have the better brake package.
It will have the updated oil cooler design that is less prone to failure.
It will have the updated rocker design that is less prone to failure.
Price has a lot more factors to it than just year/miles.
What package the van is.
Any accidents.
Maintenance records.
Etc.
All affect price.
I understand cost is a concern, but I would be more concerned with the PO of the van.
My rule of thumb on any of these vans:
1. Buy it under 30k miles so the PO hasn't had enough time to do any irreversible damage.
2. Buy it with full maintenance records so I know it's been well cared for.
3. Buy it so dirt cheap I can afford to go through and fix everything the PO wrecked.
The only given with these vans is that they haven't been taken proper care of, unless there are records to prove otherwise.
You want to see oil changes every 4-5k miles. Transmission service every 30-50k. No use of ECON mode. Cooling system service w/thermostat every 60-80k. Coils/plugs well under 100k. If these things haven't been done, walk away.
