[QUOTE="MonikaHBBSI:298783"]I found our new van on cars.com craigslist.org is a good place to look too Make sure you check out the blue book value on http://www.kbb.com/ You might want to run a title search also A couple more pieces of advice - Don't buy the first thing that comes along without comparing it with others! Test drive it on the road and on the highway! Look for rust spots that have been painted over or parts of the body that might not have come with the original vehicle. Ask the person selling it why they are getting rid of it and what kind of repair work was done to it. Any transmission problems? If it's burning oil that's a sign of a bad transmission. Original engine? What did the person use it for? Does it have a lot of miles on it? Are they highway miles (best for a car) but if so were they stuck in traffic a lot (worst for a car) Was it maintained well? Was the oil regularly changed? Ask a ton of questions, if the van was taken care of the person will be glad to talk to you about all this. If they get an attitude they are probably hiding something. Don't get anything bigger than you need! Extended vans are harder to park! Do your research! You'll be glad later. I fell in love with every single van I saw just because they were all SO spacious! But a lot of them had luxuries that we didn't need and definitely could not afford. Also, find out how much the insurance will be before you buy it! We bought a cargo van instead of a passenger van so we don't have side windows which is good for security reasons but since it is a cargo van we have combo plates (commercial and residential) so if we park in a commercial spot in the city we won't get towed or get a ticket. BUT it was $230.00 to register it. Like I said, do the research and please feel free to contact me with any questions because I feel like I learned so much from this experience and I'd love to share that knowledge.
