well you need a different garage not a privatly owned one cause that already sounds like a ripoff so go to a big name garage or something a little smaller but still around

The other two GM minivans arent that bad, my family has both of the other generations. The van that I have is my first car, was a hand-me-down, it's a 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette GLS. It has like 215,000 miles on it. But last thanksgiving we had to have the engine replaced. And since then it has been in the shop about every two months with different problems that relate back to the numb-skulls trained by general motors to fix didn't fix it right. The other van is a 2006 Buick Terraza CXL AWD with 60,000 miles, its a beautiful car a ton of featues only problem is with the rear gate not closing right when its parked on an odd angle won't shut, and last month it need a whole latch because it self destructed. Fords are no exceptions our 1998 Ford Crown Vic w/ police package and 112,000 miles the ball-joint broke on the suspension that was 900 bucks. The only car that we have that doesn't have any major problems is our 1998 Chevrolet Metro w/ 55,000 only needed a new exhust system. So GM rules Ford okay.

Fords suck, Ford stand for Found On the Road Dead. My mom had a 1991 escort and constantly had problems, my cousin has had 2 taurus' a 91 and 97 and had transmission problems with both, and another cousin of mine had a 1990 Tempo, and it constantly had problems.

Chevy suck too. My granpop had a '78 Chevette, rusted out by '82 and costed more to fix then to buy it. We have a GMC Cnayon [rebadged Chevy Colorado], stalled on the middle of a busy highway.

And don't forget who was stupid enough to market the Nova in Spanish speaking countries.

I just saw that you replied to me lol . I like GM body styles, but reliability not so much. If you want a reliable car, get a foreign car.
