For some reason I remember that van as being a rebadged something or another
domestic minivan.

You are right about at the time for a timing belt change. I think the
1999 version of the Quest is the best looking, too. The 2001 seems to
have an abnormally big mought grille, and the 1994 and 95 version seem
dated looking, even when they were brand new.

I have a 2000 with over 135K...mechanically it's good but cosmetic and some
electrical things have begun to go...for example, the seatbelt light only
works if the buckle's in the right spot, otherwise, it behaves as if it's
buckled.  Otherwise, it's a good car. The most costly mechanical repair was
when the CV axle was found ripped at 131K miles, and the repair was
$800-$1,000 (I can't exacty remember). The Quest tends to be better on trips
than in town, even though it's a daily driver. I see no major repair soon
other than the rear wheel ball bearings.  The oil is changes every 7,500
miles, and is also on its third set of tires and about to be on the third
set of brakes.  Also, I've noticed the van is tough to abuse.  One time when
the bumper got crushed when I pulled into a parking spot too fast, there
wasn't a scratch on the bumper even though it got pushed inward.  And, there
aren't any recalls on ours (the seat belt recall is just out of our VIN
range.)

Long story short, it's a tough car, but when it falls apart, everything
goes. It may be up for replacement soon, though. I'll be sad to see it go.
