Hello, I was curious what people thought of the current Minivan possibilites out there today? I have a wife and 2 children... have the activities any other parents may have... girlscouts, soccer practice... multiple kids needing a ride to some after school activity... you know the drill!
Today my wife and I went out and looked at the following vehicles... we are considering buying slightly USED .... a short explanation or impression/limited opinion follows of our experience today... if anyone can see where I'm going or have any thoughts in addition... I would appreciate it...
Honda Odyessy - Not many out there for sale as far as used... price seems high at used ones 2001 for instance coming in at $24,000.00 >> Kind of cheapy in the interiors... not at all plush in anyway... did like the foldback third seat that sinks into the floor... pretty damn quick... roomy, cavernous from what my wife heard someone claim... Don't know, can I expect
250,000 miles on this thing?Kia Sedona - Wow what a bargain some 100,000 miles or 10 years warranty I think??... Was it on the drivetrain???... sounds good... a bit smaller than the oddyessy! not as roomy also... interior looked a little more plusher though... what a price... $19,000.00 for a new one! Do these things last
260,000 miles like I would think the Honda Odyessy should??? or what???Toyota Seinna - Saw one... used for $25,000 what's the deal with that... do these things last for 300,000 miles or what?? The dealer said that they even have a 3 month wait on new ones! Probably a lie!
****No clear winner here...***** I like the Odyessey's room and honda's track record... don't like the price... could I buy a used one with 50,000 miles and get 260,000 miles off it... than it would be worth the $19,000.00 for a used one with the high miles! Does that seem like a "sound" opinion?Kia Sedona... nice... but a little smaller... price a new/used one with
15,000 miles at $16,000.00... ok... can I make it to 100,001 miles and than have problems and wish I would have bought the Odyessey or Seinna??? don't know...Toyota Seinna... saw 1 today... Is it worth it... sounds like a lot of people think so!
