new car

We just bought a new (used) minivan. We bought it yesterday (1-28-09) We looked and looked and finally found something we both liked that would fit our growing family. We bought a Toyota Sienna. The year is 2000. It is a nice blue color. The family that sold it to us kept it looking like new. Robert said it was too nice for him. I told him that it is worth it because you don't know what will be available later on. The boys just love it. They were normally asking for $4500 but sold it to us for $4000. The reason was there are two little things that need to be fixed. One is the back handle thing broke off and the other was a little part that latches the back window broke off. To get both fixed would be about $150-$200. They aren't major problems. They were really honest with us and told us everything that they could. They also said if we ever have any questions to call them. We can still open the back if we get a screwdriver and pop the little piece back there. The window isn't bad. They said it just flaps open so they have a bungee cord holding it in place. Maybe we will get to show it off at the wedding.

How fun. That is a nice van. That is the exact van we bought for our first van year and all(only ours was white).

Just be careful in the rain it hydro-plains really bad. Other than that it was a really good van for us.
