2000 Toyota Sienna XLE Car is loaded(except for leather interior and power sliding doors.) 166,000 Miles and running strong(it's a Toyota, after all) Car looks good and is immaculate inside. Seats 7 or one person can easily remove the rear seats for extra storage. Towing Package with Reese hitch Good tires and ready to go.
It's just a well-designed vehicle with plenty of storage in a small package that's easy to drive. I can't imagine a better vehicle for a college student.
$6200
Located near a wolfline stop.

Haha, you've obviously never used a minivan to its full potential. 9/5/2008 1:55:49 PM |

I used to drive a Chevy Astro minivan while I was in college. They're great for hauling people, pets, and all your crap. But I took the bus to and from campus. Driving a minivan to campus every day doesn't really make sense, but otherwise, they're pretty useful.
Edit: And here's what happens when you hit a stationary vehicle at 25-35mph:
Would've been much worse in a subcompact.] 9/5/2008 1:56:58 PM |

I used to have a chevy astro too. This thing is nothing like one. It's basically a Camry with a higher roof.
Here's what happens to an Astro in a real wreck. It's the single worst crash test result in America

Just FYI, I doubt you will get that much for it. KBB values it Private Party in EXCELLENT condition at $6,035. 9/5/2008 2:02:48 PM |

^^ I looked it up and that picture is of a 1995 chevy astro (what I drove) crashing into a stationary barrier at 35 mph! I'm glad I hit another car and not a brick wall! 9/5/2008 5:47:11 PM |

Haha, yeah, you know it's a failed test when you can't make out the crash test dummy any more. It's not so terrible by 1980's standards, but when you consider they sold Astros/Safaris essentially unchanged until 2005 it becomes really appalling. That said, a 20 year run for any vehicle is respectable.
Side note: Mom got one of our Astro's up on two wheels once. All it took was a quick jerk of the wheel to avoid some dummy in our lane. 9/5/2008 10:09:45 PM |

and keep in mind, only about 5% of ALL used cars are considered to be in excellent condition. In good condition, where most used cars fall, KBB has it valued at $5,470.

I loved driving the Astro (great visibility), but after seeing the crash test, I never intend to enter one again! 9/6/2008 1:24:23 PM |
