What's the mileage on your 5th generation?

Since the 3rd and 4th generations have a thread about mileage, and I just hit a milestone on my 2009, I decided to start this thread for 5th generation owners.

I hope the "High Milers Club" still exist, I want to get the 200,000 mile license plate frame.

UPDATE: ::TRIGGER WARNING::
. Just the transmission will cost OVER $7k ...But at least i have the 7k to work with. I guess. 🤷‍♀️🙄
I asked my regular mechanic and he said he could put a used tranny in with a guarantee for $3k or less. You could also wait for a snowstorm then find one that was rear ended and buy the whole thing as a parts car, I see them for $2k or so and I'm on the lookout for one by me.
The 2008 T&C 4.0 i purchased last week has 264k on it. That's considered pretty high here but think engine and the rest of the vehicle are in pretty good shape.
2010 LX with only 49k miles. I bought it from the second owner at 48k

What kind of maintenance do you think it needs? How has it been running so far?

I replaced the front brakes & rotors & wiper blades & oil & spark plugs and cables & transmission oil. I added an aftermarket android auto radio. It has been going well so far, no complaints (a few rattles but nothing too annoying)
143k mi. only issue dash lights don't come on and can't see the speedo
Hi, a Chrysler Town and country 2011 is for sale near where I live. They are asking 6800 for it. With about 140,00 miles. Should I go for it or just check the Carfax?. I've heard this engine has some issues with cylinder heads? As pre buy check, should I just take a look at it look by looking at the coolant liquid in radiator if it has the conventional cap as older models and make sure no sweet smells are present, , check the oil dipstick, check the oil cap for any excessive condensation, check the exhaust pipe for any excessive carbon soot? I know I probably need to check for more but I just want to get y'all's opinion or comments. Thanks.
Get a Mechanic to check it out.

Unless you can get the complete story on the 2011, I would stay away from it and go for something newer like a 2015+.
Our 2014 T&C has 43,000 miles on it.

2014 has 150,000. Bought it with 40,000 miles. Over the years replaced a few parts. Oil filter assembly, alternator, battery, both rear bearings, rear shocks, trans cooler lines, thermostat. Of course brakes and rotors.
Our '08 T&C just crossed 100k yesterday, although my wife didn't bother telling me or take a picture of the odometer. :) If we still had our '09 GC, it would've had 200k on it by now.

During that time, I replaced the front struts, control arms, sway bar links, and brakes on the front axle. Changed front motor mount and spark plugs, its been a very reliable and trusty vehicle.

I am about to pick up a 2012 with 205k miles and see if we can push that into the 300k.

Yes I thought it was very unique and quite rare in a sea of black interiors. Once in a while I spot a beige interior in 08-10s but not too often.
