#1599, "Looking for Vans" 第1599号贴
Guys,
I have been looking for a van/vehicle for the growing family for months. We have two daughters now and are expecting triplets. I almost bought a Ford Econoline 350 with three three-bench seats in the back, one driver and passenger seat in the front totaling 11 seats. I drove our two daughters in the van for a few times. I had some dispute with the dealer and the deal failed through. A few days ago, when I was again looking for a van/vehicle on line and talking to my friend, it became clear to me that I cannot buy such a van with bench seats since it was so difficult to get our daughters in and out of the seats the few times I had them in the car. I cannot imagine putting three more car seats on those bench seats and getting three infants in and out of the van. I realized that I must buy a van with captain seats with the middle open so that we can easily get in and out of the seats. I must have at least 11 seats (five kids, me and my wife, my mother, my wife's adopted sister, her own sister and a nanny). It is really difficult to find a van with such configurations. I found one in southern california with 11 captain seats, but it is a 2001 Chevrolet, looks a bit worn, and not much space in the back for triplet strollers and our dual stroller. I have talked to the dealer and tentatively agreed on the price pending an inspection since I cannot be there to test drive. It is about $10K.
嗨，你们好。
这几个月来我一直在为我的成长中的家庭寻购面包车或其他车型。我们有两个女儿，并且很快就要再迎来三胞胎。我差一点就买下一辆福特车了，那是ECONOLINE350型的，后座有三排三人座，一个司机座位，还有一个副座，总计11个座位。我已经带着两女儿试开过几次了。我跟二手车行还有些事宜需要协商，所以没有买成。
几天前，当我在网上和我朋友谈起这辆车的时候，我想清楚了，我不能买这辆后面有三排座位的面包车，因为好几次我的女儿们上下车都非常不方便。我不敢想象如果面包车内再加三个婴儿车坐该有多么的不便。所以，我意识到应该买一辆后座可以两边折叠的面包车，这样上下车就方便多了。我要买的车必须最少有11个座位（五个小孩，我和我老婆，我妈，我老婆的干妹妹，我老婆的亲妹妹，还有保姆）。要找一辆合适的面包车还真不容易。我在南加州找到过一辆11人座的面包车，但它是2001年型的雪佛兰，看上去有点破旧，后面也没有足够的空间放下三人座婴儿车。由于我没办法亲自去试开这辆车，所以通过电话和经销商初步商定了一个价格，大约是1万美金。
I have also found some van conversion vehicles, but again so difficult to find one with at least 11 seats. The one I found is in the east coast and it is asking for about $26,000, way above our budget.
我另外又找了几家车行，物色了其他几辆面包车和商务车，但很难找到11座的。我看中的一辆在美东甚至要价2.6万美元，大大超出了我们的预算。
Any ideas and suggestions? or do you know anyone wanting to part such a van? Thanks.
你们有没有什么好主意？或者有没有谁可以让出一辆类似的面包车？谢谢了。
Apologies if my postings are not so sexy!

Perhaps two vehicles? A mini-van and a support sedan?
也许买两辆车会好些。一辆小面包，一辆轿车。
Good luck!
祝你好运！

Vanghn,
I have decided to purchase the Chevrolet 2001 Van with 11 captain seats. The van dealer took it over to the Chevrolet dealer for an inspection yesterday. I will buy it if there are no major problems.
我已经决定要购买那辆2001年型的雪佛兰11人坐车。经销商昨天已经把车送到雪佛兰专卖店进行车检。如果没有什么大问题，我决定买下它。
The captain seats allow us to get in and out of the van easily with the babies while it is impossible with vans with bench seats.
这辆车的副座还带折叠椅，这样上下车就很方便了。而普通面包车做不到这点。
Hopefully there are no major problems with the van. It is so difficult to find vans with captain seats.
但愿这辆雪佛兰没有什么大问题。要寻找一辆副座带折叠椅的面包车还真不容易。

Our three boys are between 5'2" and 5'4" and about 100 pounds each...and growing! So I can see our minivan being too "mini" in the near future!
我们的三胞胎已经是身高5.2英寸和5.4英寸了，体重也有100磅了，长得很快。所以我已经可以预见在不远的将来我们的迷你面包车将是多么地“迷你”了。
Hopefully the van you are having checked out, checks out great!
希望你的面包车能够顺利通过车检，没有问题。

The inspection found out some minor repairs and the dealer agreed to take care of them. So I have made a downpayment and am buying it now and will fly down to LA next week to pick it up.
车间时发现一些小毛病，车行同意全面维修。所以我付了部分定金，准备下周飞到洛杉矶去提车。
It is quite big, enough for 11 people. I think it can last for quite some years to come. I like to travel, so we may put on a lot of miles on it (right now it has about 80K miles). I have driven from VA where I used to live to Toronta, Florida and from San Francisco to San Diego many times, and to Vancouver BC. I think our mode of transportation for traveling in the future will most likely be the van, not flying.
这辆车很宽敞，足够11个人用。我觉得它可以开好几年都不用换车。我喜欢旅游，这辆车还可以走很久。（现在的行车里数是8万英里）。我曾经多次进行过长途旅行，从居住地佛吉尼亚到多伦多、弗罗里达，从旧金山到圣地亚哥和温哥华。我想将来我们会以陆地驾驶代替乘搭飞机。，

We just put 10,400 miles on the mini van on a 7-week camping cross-country adventure. What a way to go!
我们刚刚进行过一次为期七天的露营越野探险，面包车行驶超过10400英里。一路上好不风光！

Vaughn, traveling 10,400 miles is the same as 16,700 kilometers. By driving that far from here at Cannes in the south of France, we could drive north and visit every country in Europe, heading all the way up near the northern tip of Sweden then hanging a right into Finland and crossing it into Russia.... all the way down through Moscow and down into Turkey (avoiding the nearby borders of Iran and Iraq, then back in a west/northwest direction through Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and the northern part of Italy before returning to the south of France...... and after all of this, we wouldn't even be close to the mileage you put on during your trip across the states!
Rick
鲍安，行驶10400英里就等于是16700公里啊。这么远的距离相当于从我们居住的法国戛纳出发一直向北穿过整个欧洲每一个国家，从瑞典的最北端右转到芬兰、俄罗斯，然后从莫斯科再转到土耳其、保加利亚、罗马尼亚和意大利北部，最后转回法国南部那么远的距离。即使是这么行走一圈，也没有你驾驶穿过整个美国的距离那么远。
