What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

The Two Words I Never Wanted to Say...

Here they are: minivan wanted.

With the news of baby #3, Kelly and I find ourselves in need of a vehicle that will allow for three car seats. Alas, our wonderful Subaru station wagon doesn't have that kind of space.

So we're on the look out for a used minivan, and we'd love any help we could get from folks out in the blogosphere. We're holding out the right to be both beggars and choosers, since we know that our cash flow won't exactly increase from this point until the kids start going to school. We'd love something in the 50,000 miles range and ideally we'd keep it around the $10,000 mark.

If you've got one you're looking to unload, great! If you've got a friend who does, also great. If your company or your school system offers used minivans at discounted prices, please let me know. If you just know someone who's a dealer or know of a good place where you recently got the deal of the century, let me know that, too. I'd even be willing to fly out somewhere or pay to have it shipped here. What's a couple hundred dollar plane ticket to save thousands on the greatest minivan in the world? Of course, it'd have to be the greatest minivan in the world for a very low, low price.

We're also looking to sell our wonderful, all-wheel-drive 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon GT. 112,000 miles, sunroof, roof rack. We've loved it, and I'm sure someone out there will love it, too.

www.autotrader.com (it's a national site) is the route we went in NC for our Saturn and here in IL for our Toyota Sienna Mini-van. My opinion - though you didn't ask for it - make sure that the doors open on both sides. Doesn't matter so much that they're automatic sliding doors, but it does matter that you have doors on both sides.

Dude. You know, some things are just a bit too private to be shared in a blog.
