Opinions for Used Mini Van
There are some pretty smart people on here so I need to ask the CP BrainTrust.
The wife and I are expecting our third child in October. We currently have a 09 Cobalt and a 03 Alero. The Alero is paid off but the Cobalt has about 9700 left. (We were royally ****ed on that one) Anyway, we are looking for a good minivan. We will have to buy used and we will have to tack on whatever is left from the Cobalt onto the price of the van. Just a few questions..... Edited: My question weren't specific enough Anyone own a Sienna, Grand Caravan, or an Odyssey? How long? How many miles do you have? How are they holding up? What are the major problems if any? About what price should I pay after everything is said and done; keep in mind we will be adding on like 4 or 5 grand? I appreciate the help Last edited by durtyrute; 04-09-2013 at 12:40 PM.. |

Was talking last night with the girl I'm dating and we both agreed that we'd never, under any circumstances, get a minivan.
Hope that helps.

Have fun squeezing you and your kids car seats inside your BMW 3 series.

Once you get to a certain age and your back has experienced all the bending over you'll go through getting your first kid in and out of the back seat of your sedan, you'll begin to seriously consider whether your second kid is worth the price of an orthopedic surgeon or the indignity of driving a minivan.

I have a 2005 Grand Caravan. I'm sure many on here will denigrate it based on style, but that van will do things I couldn't imagine doing in almost anything else. It's been very good for us, we paid $6000 3 years ago for it.

Minivans are the bomb for usefulness but to be politically correct today you must own a SUV. Apparently if it doesn't have a long enough hood there is no penis allowed to drive it.
