We now have a situation where we have to drive with a total of 4 adults and 2 kids specially on the weekends. (Not every weekend, maybe 2 times a month). When this happens, we usually take both cars which is a bit of a PITA. Given the situation we are thinking of selling the BMW and getting a seven seater SUV or Minivan.
Wife just started work from home so her daily commute has reduced to pick up and drop kid to daycare which will also disappear next year as the kid enters the public school system.
I expect the vehicle to be driven ~5K and surely <10K a year. We will do a couple of road trips in the summer
We are not in a rush to buy anything and can wait for a good deal whenever it shows up. Assuming we can get ~5K for the BMW, what vehicle should i look out for on kijiji and autotrader.
The only requirement wife has is Bluetooth and I have is good reliability and low cost of maintenance.
Any ideas on what to look out for? Grand Caravan, Sienna. How are older KIA van's? Any 7 seater SUV's in the mix (i know they can be more $'s than minivan's). Is the mechanical quality of Grand Caravan good enough?
Thanks.
