Good old minivan for the money

Picked it up used and abused

I got this van for 100.00. Every light in the dash was on. Needed a tune up, both oxygen sensors changed and something minor with the brakes. For a van thats 16 years old, she drives like its certified pre owned. Handles well, everything is easily accessibke while driving (radio, a/C) the kids get in and out easily, and I love that you can disable all the lights and the sliding door from the front control panel to keep lids playing with buttons. The only issue I have is how rough it rides on time worn roads. On smooth new roads, shes quiet and half the time cant tell if its running or not, its like sitting in the driveway. But on bumpy roads, it can be like being on a boat with semi rough waves. Gonna look into something other than OEM shocks to see if I can get a better ride but overall fantastic vehicle. I would recommend it to anyone.
