Clean title 2007 Toyota Sequoia 4wd with 90k on the odometer and it's in your back yard. They're asking $14k, but I bet you could get it for $12k.

*Update*

Talking to my mom, (which I kind of felt the prompting, urge, or whatnot to do anyway,) it turns out she's going to be selling her 2011 Sienna. It's a bit higher mileage than I was looking, but in good shape. I'm going to over and look at it closer this week. It turns out she was thinking about asking us if we were interested before she even knew we were going to be looking for a car, too.

My wife isn't the MOST thrilled about a van, but I think she really will LOVE the extra room, the ride, and everything about it, even if she wont want to admit it. Razz

Tell your wife to suck it up. Big Grin

Honestly though, you guys are still pretty young. Any money you can save today (by driving a really cost effective minivan instead of a more expensive to buy and run SUV), will really give you a head start for when the REAL expenses (like a larger house, college expenses, retirement) come down the road. As long as the vehicle is roadworthy, safe, and has the features that best meet your day-to-day needs, there's really nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Since you have three kids, the power sliding doors will be much appreciated. You don't have to worry about them banging into the car parked next to you and can be controlled remotely.

Go for the Sienna. My mom had one for a few years and I actually enjoyed driving it. Very comfortable. It’s a solid vehicle, and Toyota, so the ODO is largely irrelevant.

One of the single girls that I worked with at the bank, announced to a few of us coworkers that she bought a new van. I laughed and said "You bought a van.....a van?"

She said "Yes, it's a 'sporty van'."

I looked at her and said, "There's no such thing."

Laughter was overwhelming. She didn't speak to me for months.

We had a Chevy Astro van once. It was nice, had room for the kids, dogs and friends... Thought to myself, this is ok, but I will never have another van.... Fast-forward... Now have grandkids, two dogs, a cabin on some property... Boy would it be nice to have a van. Yup, Wifes next vehicle will be an all wheel drive van of some type... Me, I want to stick with Jeep XJ's and TJ's as long as I can...

We have a 2004 Siena. It has 142,000 miles on it and is still going strong. Make sure to religiously rotate the tires or they will wear quicker than a car or SUV.
