This one only gave us 204k miles

[Scottintexas]

What kind of Karma have I invoked???
2005 Sienna, 204,424 miles, owned since new,

My wife had a slow speed accident with a lifted pick up truck at a right on red last week. Insurance totaled it and gave me $5k

It was a great car, 6-7 2k mile family summer vacations and to many to count 500 mi. trips,

3 small kids (within the first week my 7 year old son dented it with a crochet mallet!) it worked hard and performed well, except for the A/C for the last 2 yrs which cost us about $2k and it was starting to use some oil.

Now the pain of new car shopping for a 2018 sienna xle, jade green begins, what a beating,

Buy it back and do the door from the junk yard. Free car.

And, sorry for your loss.

Agreed... a hatch from junkyard cant be that much.

I would agree, but that's more than a hatch. That rear floor needs pulled/replaced, which can get costly real quick if you can't DIY/know a guy.

Man - sorry!
The good news is - those new Siennas are pretty awesome.

We had two Siennas, forgot what MY, one was an XLE w/ AWD and the other SE - pretty fun to drive. I love minivans, but my wife does not.

I'm not going to comment on lifted trucks and bumper laws (or lack thereof). Glad this was low speed!

we had 2 odysseys and if it was not for the boat, we will be having a 3rd one.
We hate the stigma, but we love EVERYTHING else about the minivan.

Put a boat hitch on that puppy.. !

 

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

God that install is hideous. They used to really do some crap work lol.

On a minivan note... I had an uber last week in a new Pacifica... those things are nice. I have liked the outside but the inside is killer. If it could tow 9k, I would consider one just for it's versatility.

A friend of mine had a mustang that was done on that show. And it was hacked and butchered beyond fixing.
I couldnt believe it
