The kicker right now is that we found out the Grand Caravans has a special running. I didn't want to look at the Grands because they cost more, less fuel mileage than my present Caravan, and I didn't need all that extra space very often. Though bunnymobiles are like closets, you can always fill them up. Right now they are running a special where if you trade ANY van for a Grand Caravan you get $2,000. right off the top before the trade is discussed. And I can get the very same trade $ amount that I am getting at other places. So it is oh so tempting to get a Grand and forget the other two. It is hard to beat getting a new Grand Caravan with Stow 'n Go, no carrier packing worries, for LESS than all the other vehicles I've tried and considered.
Thank you everyone who has replied with vehicle assessments. They have all been very helpful! There has been a lot of posting on the D7 yahoogroup list too since I posted the question on there too.
I'll be back with an update, you can be sure!
