    I just bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey with 225K miles for $2100. This vehicle is the high-end with power, leather seats, split temp controls (R, L, front & back), entertainment system with DVD player in the back, and a towing bar attached in the back. It was hesitating while shifting, so I took it to a transmission specialist who drove it and then ran computer diagnostic tests. He said the problem was that the computer controlling the shifting needed to be reset. He reset the computer, and it drives beautifully. Quite a bargain!

    omg - thank you for this video! it popped up on my feed a few minutes ago and couldn't have come at a better time! i bought a 2000 Toyota Sienna today! it's even the same color as the one in your video. i got it for $800! it's in great shape for it's age and mileage of 240,xxx. a very smooth and quiet ride. i was pretty shocked by how 'right' it felt on the road for a 23 yr old vehicle with so many miles. almost talked myself out of buying it and into believing there just had to be something wrong that i wasn't seeing. but to be honest, i've been without a car for over a year and would have welcomed a wagon and team of horses and been grateful for it. after watching this video i'm now as confident as i can be that i made the right decision. thanks again!

    My 2003 Sienna van is in PERFECT interior condition, rides smooth, engine purrs. Body is in great shape but it needs paint, as the clearcoat is failing - which I'm getting ready to do. It got us through two boys and a lot of trips to the mountains. I have a hitch on it so I can pull my small trailer to move stuff. I took the back seats out (still have them) so I can move larger items and so I don't really need a truck. I thought, WHY sell it? It's a classic and super reliable. I still wouldn't hesitate to drive it several hundred miles, but mostly, just use it around town as a second car to move stuff. Mine is this exact color. I love her! Had a Previa van (aircraft carrier, LOL) before this - a deer totaled it!

    I'm 27 and just recently bought a 1995 Volvo 850 for 600$ barely any rust on it, just small smidge here and there. And man, it runs so well despite of it having 220k miles. It only has been 2 weeks and I already added it another 2k miles. I'm having waaaay too much fun with it! Specially because it only takes 35$ to fill up the tank and it would last me a week if not more! Old cars are the best! Any car from 2011 and up just.... No.

    Minivan is the best all-around vehicles in North America. It can be used to put some drywall from Home Depot, it can put a few kids or a whole family on it. Great for camping trip! Great for road trips! Always reliable. Less expensive than a SUV, and more "utilizable" than the SUV. Looks boring, so nobody steals them. Low insurance. Can be used to tow things too! Practical, and pragmatic!
    If I can only choose 1 type of vehicle, then definitely a minivan.

    For some reason, minivans are quite popular here in Florida, so you're not likely to get a deal like that here. But $1,600 might get you an old Camry or Corolla. Mind you, for that kind of money the paint will be burned off of it (the hot Florida sun destroys paint quickly), but underneath the crappy paint it can still be a good car

    Yeah, lots of miles and still running. I had a Toyota RN50 pickup with a 22R engine once. The speedometer always read 8% more than the actual speed, and the odometer registered 8% more than the actual mileage. They are good vehicles, but check your odometer against the mile posts on the interstate. I climbed the north side of Brindlee Mountain on US231 when it was slushy near the bottom and snow covered half way up with regular tires, no chains.

      I honestly think mid 90’s to mid 00’s vehicles are the best vehicles ever made. It was a perfect blend of modern reliability and comfort with not too much tech on them and (especially the Japanese ones) are fairly simple to work on. I’ve been driving one or another version for almost my whole career and I will keep doing so. They’re not flashy but they’re comfortable and still have a little character to them. My latest family one is a 2006 Honda pilot, it’s high miles but had all the maint done with records since new. 215k and drives like new, has some luxuries like heated seats, sunroof and DVD system but nothing crazy and I love it. I’d still be rocking my 2000 Camry with over 200k if it didn’t get totaled, my daughters 04 accord has 300k, my other daughters 02 celica has 250k. Just really great products.
