Might be getting a new, used car. What should I get?

What should I get? My dads company sells their company vehicles once they hit 100,000 miles or approx. 2 years old. They have a few different types, Mini-vans, cars and station wagons. My dad's car was a Dodge Stratus, before he got into a head on a few weeks ago (just an example of the price/type of cars they get). I am thinking of getting a mini-van because I like the room, I have a Ford Explorer now, and they seem better in the snow in MI. What would be the best choice given the year and mileage of these vehicles?

You'll be getting one of the vehicles that is retired?

100K miles in two years is a hell of a lot of miles.

Retired? They just buy the salesmen new cars every two years so that they can take their customers out in style My car is getting close to 200,000 so 100,000 isn't bad, and we get the car for $3,000.

What are the other cars that they have? Stratus is OK, but not great. Expect some electrical problems. Probably a quiet car, but nothing great for reliability.

What wagons do they have?

I don't know, I will be getting it in the spring. I was just wondering what type would be the best for being fairly new but having so many miles.

Do you have pics/specs on your "carputer?" I'm working on one and I'm always looking for more ideas.
