Ok My mom, Sister, and grandpa are handi capped. My mom has MS, my sister is a walking medical case and my grandpa just had a stroke not that long ago. I am starting to look for a ..... Minivan *pauses for dramtic gasps and whatnot* .... Yeah I know a minivan. Now I need your help, ( I live in the US btw ) I can't decide what to get. I can't afford a BRAND new one but a used one I can. What van should I get ?

Personally , It's between to Chrysler Town country and the Hyundai Entourage

I'd get a Dodge Grand Caravan/Town and Country, preferably 2005 or newer. The stow-n-go is extremely useful, and could be convenient in your case.

Why the Chrysler and Hyundai? Do they have something that other minivans don't offer, or is it just a brand preference?

I see tons of old-beater Honda Odysseys and Toyota Siennas driving around; seems like those things never die... My family personally has a Nissan Quest / Mercury Villager from since I was little; that thing is a '98 and still going strong. Our neighbors also have one, but a '94 and they haven't had any issues with their's either.

I live with my grandpa he hates "jap traps or rice burners" or whatever, personally I like the Honda odyssey ( yeah I know Hyundai is a "foreign" made vehicle ) but I finally convinced him its a american made van ( it took alot of .... bending the truth ) but you get my point. The reason I chose Chrysler is we had a 1988 plymouth voyager ( just sold it not to long ago ) it had 121,752 milse on it ( not alot I know ) but it had gone through alot. We have a 1989 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE and its got 247,537 milse on it , its been wrecked 3 times ( can't tell it has anymore ) its been through my sister from when she was in diapers till now ( shes 7 ) but it won't last forever so that's why I chose chrysler. Plus my van gets 32 mpg hwy and 28 city so its a gas saving van and the newer 2013 models get 28 mpg on the highway with the av on ( some family bought a new one and they showed us the mpg estimate and whatnot ) and the Hyundai is a cheaper van to maintain and well buy. They're value is ehhh but idk...
