Maybe I should post this in both AWD and RWD?

We have one of each. Because of the need to now transport an aging parent who has limited mobility and uses a walker, we'll be looking for a minivan.

Said parent no longer drives and we have her low mileage 2005 Dodge Neon, which is "worth" more than either 16-year-old Volvo, to sell along with one of the Volvos. Goal is a late model van. Had one before, not opposed to it.

I've maintained both cars for years and know the pros/cons of each their respective family of brick. The 940 is a tank but crude. The interior is coming apart. Seats are cracked, belts are worn out, steering wheel has delaminated and it will need a complete suspension refresh soon. Springs and bushings included. It sails down the highway, tracks dead straight and if I keep it, I'm ditching the steel wheels and putting salvage alloys on it. Tired of losing hubcaps.

It's also roomier than the 855T which is smoother, looks nicer, but is a maintenance concubine. Always something, and one day it will be something major. When it's right, it's great.

My heart says keep the 1995 855T, logic tells me the 1994 945T. Can't keep both. They both are around the 150,000 mark.

We can't all fit comfortably in either car. Three 6'+ adults, one with a bad hip and walker, a 5'10" 12 year old and a 10 year old son who is going to shoot up to 6' in a year or two.
