Thanks folks. I do remember that Wahine had a Sprinter van. They are very cool but larger than we want to go for our only vehicle and pricier than what we're looking to spend. They were on our long list but did not make it to the short list for those reasons.

I owned a Honda Element from 2004-2011 (when we moved down here), and it was a great bike hauler w/back seats out (we had four in there at once), but I wouldn't buy a used one because of the gas mileage. We want to do some serious traveling and need better mileage.

Jobob, definitely two bikes can be stored in the back, I'm quite sure. Four would be adequate for our needs, and sounds like it will do that.

There is a full-size model Ford Transit van coming out in the fall that has been available in Europe for awhile, and we also saw a bunch of them in Mexico, but we'd like to get away with the smaller version if we can -- and we'll need a vehicle before Fall anyway.
