DH and I are in the market for a minivan and have between 6 and 8k to spend. I currently drive a 95' Escort and although it is somewhat reliable, it is a stick shift, a pain in the butt drive and presumably not very safe. I have a 3 year old and 10 month old, both in Marathons.
I have been looking at some Toyota Siennas in the 2000-2002 years. Most of them have between 90 and 120,000 miles on them. From what I have seen on Edmund's those years had some engine problems associated with them.
I have also considered the Kia Sedona, but I don't think we can afford a 2006 or newer, which appears to be the best as far as reliability goes.
I really just want the best van possible for the money, as safe and reliable as I can get. What are my best options in this price range?
