[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obvious answer is a minivan but we're worried we'll hate it. I've always driven cars for 8-10 years so I want to be really sure before we buy it, but there's no way to know.[/quote]

I'm looking for a new car (considering minivans for the first time) and I'm getting a lot of "omg I wish I had done this sooner - our minivan is the best thing ever" feedback. And a few people who bought smaller 3-row SUVs (Highlander, Pilot) and say they regret not just getting the minivan.

So yeah, nobody gets a minivan because they're cool but there's a reason so many of them are out there.

As for your question about trading out of a car in two years, hard to say. The used market is crazy right now but if you pay $10k over MSRP and then we go into a recession you'll lose quite a bit. That said, buying your next car will be cheaper than it is today so maybe that's not a big deal. Some cars depreciate faster than others too - just look at used car prices for the model you're considering to get an idea. In normal times I'd say just buy a used minivan that's already taken the biggest part of the depreciation hit but again, used cars are nuts right now.[/quote]
