Usually enough dealers/ want-to-be dealers there to jack up the price.
But usually high milleage beat gassers without a box sell for cheap.

Im not crazy for minivans but really they are good for when you want to haul lots of passengers or lots of cargo where are a car can be somewhat cramped in the back seat and there is a limited amount of trunk space so they have there good things about em

But why get a minivan? Get a full sized van, alot more room, and jsut a tiny bit less economy. Most minivans dont get real hot fuel mileage from what I hear.

City or highway or both minivans get pretty good a lot better than full sized and if you drive a full sized you look like a hutterite no offense to anyone lol plus full sized more harder to park and drive etc not for me but just general people

I could see a full sized van getting 18ish or so on the highway. I guess thats abit of a difference.

I say go for it, get a van, and get someone to paint a nice huge mural on the side for ya!
