Alright - My dad is looking to trade in/sell his 2001 Nissan Quest for a new minivan. Now - we had 2 Quests so far - but don't think we are fond of it. We just happened to got very nice offers on both of them.
We had a 1995 and 2001 Quest.
Now we are looking for a new minivan to replace our current one. Of course we are looking at the big three Japanese manufacters.
Nissan Quest
Toyota Sienna
Honda Odyssey (the 2005 model had a recall - because the airbag might not deploy correctly...
Hopefully they fixed it in the 2006 model.)
All the newest model of course.
Now if you have any suggestion - you can name them - we will take it into consideration.
We want to know which is the best for overall usage. We want the ability to hold a lot of cargo - and performance doesn't really matter. Although we would rather have a strong engine output to give it a little boost.
We also want power windows - on the 2nd row. With our Nissan Quests - both had problems with the 2nd row windows. They would fly open and/or make noises all the time.
Any suggestion would be great. And if you had to choose between the three - which would you choose?
It cannot be that expensive - we are looking to buy a Minivan in the $27,000 area AT MOST.
We prefer around $25,000. (which we got the 2005 Honda Odyssey down to in an Atlanta dealership - the reason we did not purchase it - is because they forgot to add the destination charge and my father refuse to pay it, because they settled on a out-of-the-door price. Later the next day - they called and said alright. But ATL was a 2 hour drive - so we just forgot about that and bought the slightly used Quest.)
Anyways - we want a minivan that has a lot of standard features. I'm waiting for M5Power's post - he's the best when it comes to stuff like this. *yawn*
