yes.. for sure less $$$. I like my old beater van though... my kennel van (all back seats removed).. transport kayaks, bikes, dogs & haul things...
I have to find another mini van, I loved my Astro but had to get rid of it, just age, doors wouldn't open any more and a broken windsheild..
My 1 ton Van gets 10 mpg and with the price of gas I can no longer afford just driving it even to do "free estimates".
