My lease is up on my truck..Should I buy it out or trade it in for a new upgraded model ?

I'm not up on the Japanese or European minivans, but as far as American ones go, the Chevy/GMC Astro van seems to be the longest-lived one around, although the V-6 will suddenly die on occasion.

Advice on buying a car?


Any Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth that smokes, knocks,or has ANY kind of transmission problem. A lot of these had engines that lasted only 30 - 60 thousand miles, and many had automatic transmissions that would self-destruct quickly.

How much does a car dealer make a year ?


If you come across one that has had the transmission recently replaced or rebuilt, and the engine doesn't smoke at all, it can be a great deal. Don't plan on keeping it more than 2 - 3 years at most.

Cheap cars?


Ford Aerostar vans with digital instrument panels or 4 wheel drive. They're nice when they work, extremely expenisve when they don't.

Silly Boys Trucks Are For Girls! Guys I need some advice.?

from working in the tow-trunk industry now for going on five years, i can tell you what NOT to purchase. dodge caravans are the most common vehicle in need of service. even brand new those puppies are crap. save yourself the headache and rule out the dodge caravan.

Gas Gussler tax?

ok, i can tell you that you dont want a Kia or an Astro. the kia is junk and the astro is not a safe choice of minivan. the astro is built on a truck chassis and sits higher than most other vans. The astro has one of the worst crash test ratings. kia, one of the highest crash test ratings (tied with the ford windstar) is more to insure than other vans. Consider a Windstar post-1995 with the 3.8 V6 or the Chrysler Town and Country post-2000 with the 3.3 V6. These will also be very resonable in price, considering both are out of production (townand country is in its last year of production).
