Default Should I get a GX vs....

You guys are always so darn helpful. I found a nice 08 GX with 43k that's going for 24999 list. I am hoping to get at 21k. Plan to use for personal use and Uber XL.

Safe bet would be a super base model sienna for the same pride year 2016 with 15k.

Can you offer some suggestions / thoughts ?

If you need to haul more than 4 in comfort get the Sienna. Otherwise get the GX.

For passengers. It would only be for Uber. Passengers cram in and are usually just happy to all get a ride together. It looks like my depreciation would be higher on the GX and so would fuel but not by a ton. Style has some value as well

Go with the Van for sure!! GX is nice but the van will haul a few more people and get better gas mileage as well
