If you don't mind replacing the transmission every 75-100k miles.The Taurus (once described by a mag editor as the car that 'announces you've finally given up on your dreams') is a solid car.

ask them why they want to trade a quest for a POS Chevy!
and yeah, probably. A 95? Really? that's like 12 model years old - even if it sat in a driveway, it was still subjected to the New England seasons......
I'm not buying it. If they do work, $40 says they break by March.Do you have paypal? irate2:
isn t that the mercedes made dodge ??? def n a nice rig... we saw some insane vans like that in europe... very nice for riding bikes / boards and crashing out in style...I'm almost up to 90k miles on my WRX Wagon and also going on 3 years...
I've been thinking of getting something else this year...dunno what tho. call me stupid, but I've been thinking of a 2006 Dodge Sprinter:
but that wouldn't be as fun to drive as my Suby...
I *knew* it!<snip>
ss... volvo is always the answer, but you know that ... they still make a 3rd row option, even with current models...
trade in ya gold CO medalsI *knew* it!
I'm still not buying a Fo^H^H Volvo any time soon.
Oh yeah! Goddammit. You almost got me.trade in ya gold CO medals

Sorry - I don't clean, patch, or wax my bases.damn freakstick... get into slopemunkey... know anything about base cleaners ???
I mainly got a wagon and use it that way to throw my bike in the back in situations where I don't think it would be secure enough on the rack (getting stolen).Let's get this back on track.
Am I leaving out something I should really be considering?
Does a wagon really offer that much more cargo room than say a 4 Door Sedan?
Yup, I had one for 3 years and my dreams were dead on the tableThe Taurus (once described by a mag editor as the car that 'announces you've finally given up on your dreams') i
after going from an outback wagon to a passat sedan, i'd say yes, but it's not a huge difference. much bigger difference going from wagon to minivan, imo.Let's get this back on track.

Hey, I replaced one of those!If you don't mind replacing the transmission every 75-100k miles.
Everyone I've known that's ever had a Taurus past 75K miles as had to replace the tranny...
ASS CARS.
Yes. (Like narlus said), especially when you consider that many wagons have fold down deats, to expand the cargo area. Also, with 60/40 split fold down seats, you can put, say a large item in the back with the 60 side folded down, and still put a third passenger in the car on the 40 side. Or if this scenario is flipped, the 40 could be folded down to put a bulky item in the car, and seating (albeit tight) is avail for two (2 seat belts & seating areas).Let's get this back on track.

that is rad. i think that's what I want to be driving.ASS CARS.
Yeah the space in the van is nice. For instance today. I have two big hockey bags in the back, 5 sticks, one medium sized coaches bag, a bucket of pucks, and I still have room for four people to ride comfortably with the captain's chairs in back.Yes.

We've done this when we travel to KT with the kids. The "stuff" goes in the back with "overflow" (like a cooler) goes towards the 40 side, and put two car seats right next to each other on the remaining 60 side...
I'm told the hard part is going from a minivan to something smaller...you get used to all that space...
Yes - providing you're not afraid to pile $hit to the ceiling in the cargo area.Let's get this back on track.

I've thought about some of the smaller SUVs like the CR-V etc. etc.I've only skimmed this thread, but have you thought about a used SUV? Gas mileage wouldn't be quite as good as a car, but probably about the same as a minivan, similar space/versatility, but with 4wd for winters. I would think you could get a used pathfinder/4Runner for your budget.

Notice the winking smiley up there.Are you serious? That thing is badass but doesn't fit the economic requirement you had. I love those things, you can actually fit 4'X8' plywood inside.
I figured it was a joke but wasn't sure. I was actually thinking about getting one of those beasts when I was considering doing a whole bunch of home improvement. Those things can haul more than most modern SUV's and small trucks.Notice the winking smiley up there.
Several promising Mazda MPVs have hit the area market, so they are in consideration now.

Tell me more about the time you spent driving the rented MPV.
I like the function over form approach to the Element. The only thing it is missing is a drain in the floor so you can hose it out.Throwing it out there....
Honda Element or...*gulp*....Scion XB?
