I'm glad I looked into joining the Toyota Truck Club to help my s.o. sell his 1989 SR5. I didn't realize there was a forum for Siennas! I currently have a 2004 Honda CRV but looking to eventually buy a used Sienna to use for car camping and hauling stuff. Maybe your dad doesn't really have a need for a new car which could be why he doesn't want to spend the money. If his current vehicle is meeting his needs, then why change?
