I'm at a toss. I want an EB F-150 but, I want a Scat Pack too. I go back and forth weekly. Owning a house a truck is super useful...

I mean, 3 kids I can fit in an EB F-150 comfortably, because my buddy does it. So I guess my wife could drive that.

With 2 Recaro carseats, my wife can comfortably sit between them in the back. Much more width than the Flex.

I have three.

I have two Performance Rides in the Accord and two Performance sports in the Explorer.

I'm sure I can get 3 performance sports in the F-150.

My daughter is still in her click and connect for a couple more months, then I'll have to give up one of the Performance rides.

Perfect. I see you didn't go Ody. Perfect color too, SW or PGM are the only colors I like.

My wife and I are debating between a Sienna SE or Ody. I think what it boils down to is price.

Do you have the entertainment option?

I just noticed you bought from a Honda dealer. So I'm guessing you went to look at an Ody and the Sienna was a better deal so you jumped on that.

I wanted to get the new Odyssey but the one I wanted was over $40k. Thought it was ridiculous for a freaking minivan.

So started looking at +2015 Sienna SE Premiums. Most were in $28k range with less than 40k miles. Found this one at local Honda dealership with 26k miles. Everything looked super clean. Got it for $25k. This car had a sticker of $40600 less than 3 years ago too. Crazy. This one has everything that I wanted.

I bought this yesterday and sold my Miata last night. So we are down to this and our Audi Avant. My plan is to sell the Avant and get a Civic Type R or another BRZ later this year. I work at home full time so I drive my car less than 3k miles per year.... so yeah. haha

We are having our 2nd kid in less than 3 months. So wanted to have a minivan for the family. Hoping to keep this car for a long time!

This is my inspiration for my van. Of course the interior will be done in Alcantara by me. The car is actually pretty fun to drive haha

Yea I want 15-17 under 30k miles for under 28k. I found a couple, but I'd be willing to go to SoCal to find the right one. My wife wants SW, but, I wouldn't mind PGM.

TV and navi comes standard in the SE premiums? I like the exterior of the SE over the previous gen Ody. Unless it's an Ody Elite with roof rack. I like the idea of the cool box in the previous gen Ody.

Sometimes I think Toyotas are a curse to me. 3 out of 4 of the Toyota's I/we owned were crashed and totaled out.

Congrats again!

Nice van. That trim and colour looks pretty good. I have a white '13 Odyssey and love it. I was between the Sienna and Ody. It's funny, I only like the vans in certain colours.

You can most definitely get those with those miles in your price range. But not many on the market at once. I could only find 3-4 cars in my criteria.

SE Premium has these over regular SE: Smart Keyless entry, Entertainment system for the rear, Navi, Blind Spot Monitoring. These were must have features for me.

Just put your filtering as between 2015-2016, under 35k miles, under $28k and SE Premium only.

Thank you! This car is gigantic. I'm loving it. My kid can look out the window and see everything compared to the Avant since the car is high. He's loving it too.

Thank you! This is the only trim I wanted. Looks much sportier.

SE premium is a must for me.

I have to have everything my Explorer has. Blind spot assistance, Navi. I have remote start on the Explorer but I can always go aftermarket maybe on the Sienna. TV is a must too.

I possibly would if I was in the position. I have to get a Van first. Then decide what I want to do. I change daily. I go from having no car to getting an F-150 or a Scat Pack.

I am getting rid of the Accord this year, I just don't know what will replace it or when it will be replaced, but, the Accord will be gone by October.

ps I have a garage spot but it is currently occupied by the 335, which has a massively dead battery. I need to replace the battery and then sell that car and then this one.

And then you finally get all the snow off it and it's a mess. My car was frozen after a night in Fredericksburg with subfreezing temps.
