<DIV>I'd suggest considerations include-</DIV>
<DIV>Astro family- reliability of older ones was good- according to Consumers Reports, reliability of newer ones has fallen a lot.</DIV>
<DIV>Sienna- very nice! pricey- sticker about $29k. Odessy about the same?</DIV>
<DIV>Some great deals are likely avail on Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & country,</DIV>
<DIV>a buddy near Atlantic City NJ just got a new T&C (relativley few options) for $17K.</DIV>
<DIV>A used Caravan/T&C might be a great value.</DIV>

<DIV>Time to replace another set of wheels here. I've been doing the Dodge mini-van thing for a long while now. It's the Devil that I know anyway. Windstars - forget it - been there, still doing it, glad the other half drives it. Any recommendations on a solid & reliable van? Thinking about the Chevy Uplander, trying hard to stay American, but it gets harder to justify every time I go out looking. I really want something that holds together.</DIV>
