Seveners

I am in a dilemma as to where to start looking for a car that will take up to seven people. I am looking at the shape/size of the older Espace. But now, looking into it a bit more, I really like the idea of the rear doors being sliding. I recently read your review of the Kia Sedona and liked that. I also looked at the Carens Is there anywhere that would give me a list of 7-seater new cars with sliding side doors, in order of Price on the road? Or do you have a short list of cars for me to consider? I have never had a NEW car before and always thought they lose so much value as soon as they are driven off the forecourt that I would never bother. I now have been offered the chance of having one, but still don't know if I would do better to have a good low mileage 2 or 3 year old one?
