H-Accord-22

Earlier, we stopped by a local dealer. They have a 2000 Toyota Sienna LE, 110k miles, Clean Exterior, interior, engine. CD with steering wheel control, power sliding side doors, etc. Overall, look really nice, and the engine is very quiet. We talked and they quoted us $8,667 OTD. Then will do a complete maintenance upgrade (timming, alternator, PS belts, seals, pumps, spark plugs, wires, etc.) for additional $300. So the Total cost would be ~9,000. My dad really likes it.

What do y'all think? I want to buy this one for him and take over his car as my daily beater.

Btw, they offer free maintenance check and tune up for 1 year (oil changes, tires rotation, etc).

unless he wants to be driving a high perched vechicle for the rest of his life i'd suggest that he not get a sienna... being high up on the road is addicting, and unless he wants to ride in a minivan the rest of his days he'll prolly end up with a gas guzzling truck.


just what i've noticed wiht family members/friends, this of course, as with anything, doesnt apply to everyone.

110k miles seems alot, did you talk them down any?

H-Accord-22

It was priced at 8500. We talked for a long time and came down to 8000.

yea, my dad kinda want a minivan since our family has 7 members total, 5 adults, 2 small kis.

I've never understood why people like sitting up high in stuff. Lower the better IMO.

What that is low to the ground can you put 7 people in with relative comfort? A Ford LTD Country Squire wagon complete with wood paneling?
