What to Buy?

We are now looking into buying a minivan. It would be so nice if we could just say "I want that one and I'll go and buy it", but life is not that simple. Instead we have a low budget and have to try and find something of good quality and that we like in that category. It's hard and kind of stressful, although not too stressful yet. We've looked at a couple of vans. One was newer, but the lower price was obviously because the guy had not kept care of it at all and it was quite run down. The other was older and might have been fine, but the inside was so dirty with stains all over the floor and pictures and names written on the wall. The last couple of nights it seems that all I dream about is vans and the decision of what to do. If anybody has any van tips that you could pass on that would be great. D has done lots of looking into used car guides so that is always very helpful. That is how we came up with our car and have been quite happy with it.
So, that's our big decision right now. We would like to have it before we go to TBay so that we have more room. It's pretty squishy for long trips in the car and we can't take everything that we would like. And plus we need the van by December anyway, so why not get it a bit early and make use of it on a trip.
