The minivan has served us well. Our first one topped 200,000 miles before we sold it in 2002. This one had nearly as many miles after a decade of driving but was knocking, squealing and sucking up an insane amount of money in repairs each month. 

Katie and I did a fair amount of research and had our minds made up on a Honda. But a friend just bought a Ford Escape and when we test drove one, it felt just right. Jerry kept me calm with several phone calls during the decision-making process.  And after a long afternoon of haggling, we drove home with "Bud," our new four wheeled companion.
