Plus, the poor thing is getting loud, despite the new muffler we put on last year. Just had it checked out and the mechanic said there's nothing wrong with it. It's just loud... and old...
So, any suggestions on a good replacement?

Replacing the van...
Well, we're thinking about replacing our nearly 10-year-old van. We'd planned to keep it for a bit longer, but the new "cash for clunkers" program makes it a bit more appealing to do it before November, instead of waiting until next summer. It's only worth about $2500 as a trade-in, and the CARS program is offering $4500 for it. That's not nothin'.

hey Dan! well you know us...we're Honda all the way. I imagine you can get good deals pretty easily now, with dealerships especially wanting/needing to make a sale. (I'll tell you about our furniture-buying deal when we talk :) maybe we can at last catch up on the phone this evening or at the very least this weekend! xxoo
Yep, Honda all the way. Check out the Element, if you want lots of configuration and carrying flexibility and your girls don't mind the somewhat bumpy ride in the back (I've been there in my daughter's Element - sort of like your bus ride, but with tighter supension! --but, of course, I'm not as young as your daughters!). More luxury in the ride? - Consider the Pilot.
We love our Toyota Sienna.....lots!
I also know several folks who have Honda Odysseys and they love them! Good luck!
Hi Dan: I vote foe either a Honda Odyessey mini-van or a Toyota Siena (Deb's van)... by the way, they look almost identical.... good luck... Dad
Dan,
I've got an '02 sienna with 112K on it. Just took it for a 4200 mile trip to Texas, no worries. Hard to top that level of trust...But when shopping for a replacement recently I think the toyota's overpriced, and we're looking at Honda. Just depends on the deal. Love both blogs --
