A8-911-Odyssey

...A8-911-Windstar.

What do your guys think? Is the Odyssey worth 25% more?

I have a friend that owns a Chevy dealership, and he will get me whatever I want from the auction for $100 over wholesale so I know I'll get a good price.

A loaded 2000 or '02 Windstar SEL runs about $12-$13k the same Odyssey EX runs about $15-$17k.

This will be the kid hauler of course, now that we have three, two in car seats.

Anyone want to but a great RR cheap?

mingblues - are you audionly with a new name?

is a much better vehicle (newer design, much better build quality). I had to buy a minivan for my wife a couple years back and decided the best bang for the buck was the Town and Country. The build quality is much better than the Ford, the design and styling is much better too. The Honda is better on both counts, but costs a lot more. The T&C was around the same price as the Windstar comparably equipped. Bought a 2001 T&C in late 2001 (it was 1 yr old.) and it has served us very well so far. I know, it's a Chrysler product, but I managed to get past that ;-)

Hey,

The Honda has 240 HP, 4 wheel disc brakes, 5 speed
transmission. Need I write more?

We bought a 2002 Honda in November of 2001. It's
been perfect since then. Good power, handling, room,
etc.

Let me know if you want more info on it.

This would require getting the Ford.

quite decent for a minivan. If you needed the larger size I would also suggest the newly redesigned Sienna starting in '04. This would exceed the amount you wanted to spend but is a little less than the comparable honda.

NOW you're making the decision REALLY tough! ;-) What does the spousal unit think?
