Found a solid buyer yesterday. Just waiting for him to shuffle $ between accounts, and the Vader Family Truckster will be gone. We’re headed back to minivan land. You just can’t beat the practicality of seven seats AND luggage room.

Did you enjoy your time with it? Was it reliable?

Don’t lie.

You just can’t beat the practicality of more dead hooker storage.

3rd row in there? How much did you let it go for? Asking for a friend* in the market.

Minivan??

I didn’t want to go the minivan route, I looked at at Flex and a Pathfinder.

Bought the Pathfinder, even if it has a CVT, it just works well in a Pathfinder.

Seats seven, and I have place for bag, luggage or what ever behind the third row. I wanted AWD and don’t want a Toyota, so that’s why no minivan for me.

Definitely enjoyed my time with it. I'm sure it was just as reliable as anything else, but it is true that when some kind of maintenance is required it is pretty expensive.

Yes, a rear-facing third row seat. Kids love it. $6k out the door, which is less than I hoped, but it needs shocks and I’m not gonna lie to a buyer.

At that kind of price... Hmmm.... I’ll keep it in mind. I’m looking for a 3 row vehicle. All the cargo areas just become random stuff storage anyways, so I’ve adapted. Options include Mazda5, V70 and now this. Leaning towards the Mazda as it’ll be newer and generally cheaper to repair, but more options to test drive never hurt.

I tried to talk my wife into the Mazda 5, but it seats 6 (not 7), and long family trips would be a bit too crowded. It’s basically a tall, boxy, Mazda 3, so if you really need room it’s not there.
