Whoa, 50,000km? for a 2007MY that's way high IMO and frankly I'd be wary of the claim that it was a rental, my Focus was an ex daily rental but had only 14,000km on it.
I'd get the full VIN and do the digging... I suspect this this was used as either a taxi cab or a courier van with that kind of mileage...

sounds like an ex-rental, or shuttle from a dealership, not suprised with the mileage either, if you go over to the Car Auctions for any minivan, they usually have 50,000+ kms on them, if they have really low milage they are always accident repaired... and usually have issues with them after they get sent to the auctions.
only time I've seen under 50,000 was at the dealer lots as Demos with 10 - 20,000 kms on them, not to mention cost an arm, a leg, and maybe your first born too.

Another question for you guys.
Is it normal that an Ontario dealer will charge you (alot) to get the car safetied in Quebec?
I thought a safety check in Quebec was only about 60-70$ They want to charge us 160$!
Okay, he did say if something did not pass they would get it fixed and resafetied (resafety is about 25-30$), but dang, what if it passes ok first time through?
The stealership is also asking for 250$ in admin fees!!! When will the raping stop!

Freestar? I'd check and see if the transmission will last. I think I heard something about them having a lousy transmission.
Did some more reading on the 2007. Make sure you keep up on the maintenance, and change the tranny fluid every 50,000 Km.

Chrysler / Dodge Caravans are much worse, they have an avarage tranny life span of 45,000 kms - 80,000 kms before something goes wrong with them, if it will make it to 120,000+ with no issues you'll have one of the very rare ones that is actually good. but it's not uncommon to change a chrysler / dodge caravan tranny every 100,000 kms.

Well, the dealer is not lowering his price so I think we're gonna pass on it.
We want him to lower it 1,000$ so we can buy some winter wheels and tires for it. (16").
The '07 is warrantied until 100,000Km, but half is gone :(
The price was almost right, but we still have a few more months before baby boy #3 gets here ;)
