Thanks, everyone--I wish it wasn't raining, the rain is distorting the true color a bit. It IS dark green, but it's also kind of pearly. VERY pretty when it's freshly cleaned, but the drive home in the rain mixed with dirt has left it covered with little muddy droplets.
Hehe--I've never cared so much in my life about how my vehicle looks. I'm going to be washing it all the time; I used to make fun of my neighbors who wash their cars once a week.
Hayley is getting HUGE! I have the recline bar installed, I may take that out and see if she fits a bit shorter in the seat. As it is, I think I need to move them up to the top slots.

The T&C is a nice van, but I couldn't get past the Generation 3 seatbelts. I couldn't afford a Honda or Toyota minivan, and the Venture/Silhouette didn't impress me in crash testing, so the Windstar was it. It could use a few more built-in storage spots (drawers under the front seat(s) maybe), but that's a small complaint, I think. I really, really love it.

That link explains it all.
This is the list of the known models to have Gen3 belts (I do not think it is all-inclusive though, and it stops at 03, I don't know if that means they quit using Gen3 belts in 03, or if the page hasn't been updated since 03): http://unsafebelts.com/known.cfm

Jenny, it looks great! And all the seats in it - isn't that wonderful? And Hayley is getting big... FYI, early this evening when we were headed to my inlaws' for Easter dinner, we were right beside a Windstar just like yours at a redlight - same color, chrome trim, etc. Looked nice

Glad to be able to help a little! If I hadn't known about them, I probably would have leaned towards a GM van, too.
Actually, we went with the older one. We were looking at the 1999 green SE, and the 01 white LX. We did talk the seller down a hundred bucks.
He was already selling below blue book and I felt like we got a pretty good deal. We got the guy to agree to show it to us in the county sheriff's department parking lot (my mom and I were alone, no guys, it just seemed like a nice, safe place), and we had a mechanic friend who lived a few blocks away. My mom grew up in that neighborhood and I was born there. Anyway, it was nice having the mechanic friend be able to look at it, and it being so close to the sheriff's department.The van and the 1/2 ton look so nice together in the driveway (It shows I'm a Ford guy
I think that little yellow car is UGLY, too! Jenny, it looks great! And all the seats in it - isn't that wonderful?
Having all the seats in it is awesome! I am obsessed now with being able to fit three-across my third row, though.
If I end up with a Starriser/Comfy or a Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster I might be able to do it with my friend's son's Touriva, or maybe with a Radian.I've never seen a Windstar around here like mine, I love that! I've seen a bunch that are gold/tan and red and blue, but no green with chrome trim.
I wanted to order some rain guard things for my front windows today, but they are $80 apiece at the local parts store!
