If you haven't already decided,I suggest that you take a look at the Kia Sedona before you decide on your next van.We got one a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.We had done lots of research in advance.Check out the minivan comparisons on Edmunds.com.The Sedona is now winning awards in direct competition with their competitors.Powerful,good mileage,spacious,beautiful appointments, reasonably priced,and the best warranty in the business. tom elkins Firethorn Temple -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sheila lieberman Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 8:46 AM To: CDRHVN@xxxxxxx; the list Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Looking for van My Chrysler will take 2 500's if they are metal. Plasitc shipping crate are a 500 and 400. With the fold down seats, you do loose some milage, but the seats are there if you want them. You can stick the crates in the hotel room and take a group to dinner. I keep one back seat up cause I have 2 kids, and I keep stuff in the well that the seat is not using. I don't fill with crates, don't have to. But I did put a 600 at the back and a 500 at one side and lots of stuff in the rest so I could move mom from DC to Miami. They live to be about 100K with regular maintanence. Not too too bad. The 08 models will have the center row able to swivel so that 4 can face each other like an RV. I will be getting an 09 I think. I am very happy. Sattilite radio and gps navigation. Both have served me well. sheila CDRHVN@xxxxxxx wrote: Hi, once again the old van question. I am looking for something where I can put two 500 crates side by side. Also maybe a coupple 5's or 4's behind the seats. Right now I have a 1/2 ton chevy van. I would like something like a safari or astro but have heard alot of bad stuff about the safaris. Any ideas? Thanks.
