#201 of 280 Help shopping for used minivan by mjlong30 Mar 09, 2005 (12:31 pm)
Hello,   We are new to the minivan world, but are tired of crawling in the backseat of our two door 99 honda civic hatchback to get our baby girl out of her carseat. Not to mention there is little space for all her gear when we travel!   We can't really afford a new minivan, so we are going to be shopping for used. Doesn't need to be fancy, just decently made and reliable. And my dh wants cruise, but it seems like that's pretty standard on most.   What's going to give us the most bang for our buck? I think we will probably be shooting for something 2001-2003.   We are open to import or American. We have a 93 saturn SL2, and while compared to our honda it is not quite as refined, it has been a reliable car and we are satisfied with it. Replies to this message: steve_ (Mar 09, 2005 1:05 pm)

#203 of 280 Re: Chrysler Town and Country Front Hitch? by ghill Apr 03, 2005 (12:07 pm)
Replying to: drew_ (Aug 22, 2001 8:05 pm) I am looking for information on a front hitch for a 1997 Town and Country. I've got an idea for a hitch extention that will allow me to carry a long load on the roof. I want to carry a 26 foot sailboat mast. Does anyone know how/where to look for the front hitch unit?   Thanks Greg Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Apr 04, 2005 6:35 am)

#205 of 280 Hello by akgee4734 Apr 08, 2005 (9:00 pm)
Howdy, I am new to the whole minivan world. Never wanted one; never thought I'd need one. But now that I am a mother of three, two still in diapers and car seats, it becomes increasingly obvious to me that I need the space and kid friendly comforts that minivan's provide. My biggest problem is which one! EVERYONE shouts the praises of the HONDA but I had heard it had some transmission problems. Furthermore, I don't like seeing myself coming and going if you know what I mean. Is it true; is the HONDA Odyssey the way to go? Is the NISSAN Quest that even comparable?

#207 of 280 Hello by ckmnac Apr 13, 2005 (1:57 pm)
I never did stop in to introduce myself. I am a married mother of 4 and have owned 3 minivans. Our first was a 96 Dodge Grand Caravan and nothing but trouble. We swore we would never own another Dodge - we also had a 92 Shadow a long time ago that looked nice but had it's share of major problems at only 60,000 miles. Our second minivan was a 2000 Pontiac Montana - we LOVED it but couldn't afford the payments when my husband lost his job. We drove around for 6 months in a 96 Mercury Sable and 91 Chevy Lumina and it was awful squeezing 6 people into those cars! We found an affordable 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan SE that has only seen one owner and seems to run great for 113,000 miles. But with our history of Dodge trouble I think we're going to hang around here in case any problems arise.
#208 of 280 Greetings! by ahzoo Apr 30, 2005 (4:48 pm)
I've been lurking here for a couple of months and can't begin to tell you how valuable this site has been!   The minivans I've been most interested in are the Ody, the Sienna and the GC/T&C. We currently have a '95 GC, which has been a bit of a lemon. Mr. ahzoo didn't want to consider buying another one, but it appears that they have improved in current years.   I haven't signed anything yet, but negotiated this price from a Dodge dealership this afternoon:   New Grand Caravan SXT with the following options: sidecurtain airbags, power lift, power adjustable pedals (which I don't care about, so I said I wouldn't pay for), and rear park assist.....$22,299 + TTL. Does this sound like a good deal to anyone else?   I really like the Stow & Go seats, since I'm the family handyperson, build a little furniture and have been known to haul home large garage sale "finds." I also have three kids who are going to trash the interior of any vehicle I drive.
