YACT: Which Minivan to choose

[Dracos]

Well after doing some research, I've found that the Montana didn't crash well on the tests in fact it did pretty horrible. I've looked at a 2001 Windstar this weekend, it had 39000 miles on it and they were gonna let it go for 11450. So I'm gonna speak with the bank tommorow.

The windstar crashed pretty well. Unfortunately the Quest has been sold so thats out of the picture.

If you get the montana, watch out for head gasket problems. I've read alot on edmunds that the pre-03's had some type of crappy head gasket that was prone to failure

Yet another reason why I'm not touching the Montana. I read those same articles and thats what made me move away from the Montana. Right now its between the Windstar, Toyota Sienna or a Odyssey if I can find one within my price range.

I saw the grand caravan, it didn't look like it had enough room for my family. We have 4 kids so I need some room to space them out so they don't bother us. lol

Well we found our vehicle yesterday after 2 weeks of looking. Decided on a 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager basically a Grand Caravan, fully loaded only thing its missing is leather which we really don't need, 43K miles total price 11K after TTL.
