Good question and I don't mind at all. We had run this inter-school mail/delivery service for many years and finally discontinued it due to funding issues (it was partly supported by state funds which are no longer available and without that money the cost per district was prohibitive for some of the smaller districts and they dropped out making the whole thing implausible after this recently ended school year). Over the almost 13 years I have been here we have had Dodge Caravans, Ford Rangers, and Chevrolet Malibu Maxx's. We had severe expensive maintenance problems with the Caravans and Malibus, and the Rangers were fine, but not "user-friendly" for delivering volume mail (too much hands and knees crawling in the pick-up bed). We are a county school system and our board insists that we buy within the county. There is a new Toyota dealership in the county and they decided to try them. Hope this answers your questions.

Thanks and thanks to volvomax as well. Don't think I'm going to go this route because the mileage rating is about the same as my Element for city, and that's where I'm looking for savings. We have a minivan so I don't need 2 family type vehicles. From the value on the Element, I should be able to trade into something more compact/efficient for a similar payment and save $80-$100 per month in gas. Car shopping used to be a lot more fun. Oh well. Thanks again.

I said it before and I'll say it again.
It's a lot of brain damage to save $100/mo.

We see it every day.
Thus the reason I'm still driving my Pilot. I figure 20 mpg isn't THAT bad and the gas savings will never ever come close to covering what I would lose trading it in, lol. Good thing I love my SUV!!!

I understand, and I'm considering that as well. We're considering it since we're not upside down, and there are still a little over 2 years left on the Honda loan (bought it used), and the maintenance will increase during that time with the miles. If trading it meant taking a loss, that would be a different story. Unfortunately, most of the driving my Honda does is 16-18 mpg, and I'm not a leadfoot, so that is why we're looking into it. It would only make sense to me if I can get to 25+ mpg in city driving. I do appreciate your honesty though. Thanks.
