Just thought I'd put that out there. I could probably get away with just a standard 4 door car, but given that the Caravan will probably last me 5 years or longer, and we plan on having another child before we're done, maybe the Caravan was the best choice for us.
Did I mention I got it for $250 and fixed it for ~$100?

250 for a 2000! Must have been in pretty bad shape. What mileage is the caravan getting?
We considered getting a mini van, since we want a couple of kids, but it'll have taken maybe five years before we really need it (3 kids). That's $3750 (using last 5 years avg RUG price) saved in gas by driving the 4 door sedan vs the minivan. And by then, I'll be eying the Sprinters
