Minivan Shopping

Filed Under Input Needed, Shopping | 4 Comments

Yes, we’re doing it. As in, tomorrow. Jonathon’s car (my old car for those of you who remember it, poor guy!) started having trouble today. So we are going to look tomorrow and Saturday and hopefully buy a minivan within the next few days or week. We have some ideas of what we might want but have not driven anything yet. If you are a minivan driver, please share any thoughts or opinions. Brands, dealerships (St. Louis metro area), specials, things to avoid etc.

And if you think I am lame for getting a minivan, you can bite me. I’m excited about it. Yep, I’m officially a mom. Pushing thirty. And looking forward to driving a nice big minivan instead of a Camry.

    We LOVE our Toyota Sienna…we bought it new in 2004 and will be driving it for a few more years, God willing! It’s been great; no issues other than typical repairs like brakes/tires/etc (I SO hope I didn’t just jinx us). We’ll probably get another one after this one, too.

    I was going to tell you most minivan moms I know love the Toyota one.

    I don’t know what we’d do without out Dodge Caravan. Yes, I will joke how we should put “rims” on it and pimp it out so we don’t look so “typically familyish” (LOL) but we ARE a family and we need that van. Without it, we would have had a hell of a time moving to Colorado that’s for sure. We don’t have the stow and go seating, but the regular (pain in the ass kind) but once we took out the 2 rows of seats we were able to move twice and not rent a truck. It runs great and smooth and like Nicole’s Sienna, we’ve only had to do minor maintenance nothing major to date and it’s a 2006 and we even bought it used.
    You can buy a van without the DVD player and install one yourself..even like a 10 inch monitor. Ours came with the DVD player, it’s nice, but tiny and kind of crappy and cheaply made.
    I heart vans. Good luck with your search!! Just keep the stow and go seating in mind (and cruise control!!) <3

    Don’t forget to wear your “Mom Jeans” while shopping for your new ride.
