Compare that to a full size suv.
We looked. It was going to be 68k for any comparable SUV that offered the correct space

Far too small with 3 kids. The crossovers just are inconvenient as hell once you get to 3 kids

So you negotiated? How much off of the invoice or did you start from the MSRP?
Both dealers started at 49.5k, 3k over MSRP

One dealer didn’t budge an inch, even knowing I had another dealer. He was honest and said the second this van gets on my lot it will sell in a week for full msrp plus “market adjustment” (that’s what they call the additional 3k)

Other dealer said he would give it to me for 46.5 if I put down a larger non-refundable deposit of 1k

Yep

Was tempted to go with the sienna cause they have those hybrid engines that get unreal gas mileage

We rocked an Ody when the kids were young. IMO its the best family vehicle around. Great on road trips and convenient with youngster

Honda's autopilot is very good on highway

She’s a beaut. Our next car will be a minivan. Did y’all pre-order this vehicle I assume? I just can’t get my wife to a commit to car that she hasn’t sat it before and there are no new minivans on lots to test drive atm.

Oh it was a process

Only one lot within 75 miles had one on the lot. Not the color she wanted, but we were at least able to go see the features and test drive it. So we did that.

Then, we had to call all the dealers around and see if they already had one in the color she wanted in production. Because if you do a true order, it’s like 9 months

We were able to find two with production dates set for June 16, which means will be on the dealer lot in august. So we made a deal, and put down a deposit

I hear Derrick Henry endorses these things, so now you'll have to cancel the order. Sorry.
Mini vans are too reliable for Henry. He loves wranglers. Great and beautiful one day, then a broken down mess on other days

Great decision. When my kids were small we got the wife a minivan. She was a little leery at first but kept it for 14 years before selling it. She still misses having it to this day. It is the logical vehicle for a family.

Unless you leave the dealer sticker on, few can tell the exact year of vehicle.

Not sure if joking....
But when we had four kids all under the age of 10 that vehicle was a life saver. Could not have done without it.
