If you’re looking for a practical family vehicle on a budget, you’ve come to the right place. Used minivans offer a lot of bang for the buck with roomy interiors, family-friendly features, and usually excellent safety ratings.
Here are some of the best minivans you can find on Autotrader under $5,000.
1. 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
The Chevy Uplander is a practical minivan with SUV-like styling. The standard V6 engine delivers more than enough power, and it’s more high-tech than you might expect. GM’s final minivan is a good value on the used market. See Chevrolet Uplander models for sale near you
2. 2009 Chrysler Town & Country
The Chrysler Town & Country is a good value for its mix of family-friendly practicality and upscale features at an affordable price. The ride is smooth and comfortable, and the interior is flexible thanks to the Stow’ n Go seating system. Get the available V6 if you can find one in this price range.

3. 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
The Dodge Grand Caravan is a trusted name in minivans for a good reason. This family hauler is spacious, versatile, and easy to drive. Like the Chrysler, it has Stow’ n Go seating, which became standard in 2009. See Dodge Grand Caravan models for sale near you
4. 2007 Ford Freestar
The Ford Freestar was Ford’s final minivan, a good buy on the used market. The Freestar has some impressive safety features and multiple V6 engine options giving it swift acceleration. This minivan is a practical and affordable choice in family haulers. See Ford Freestar models for sale near you
5. 2006 Honda Odyssey
Everyone who owns a Honda Odyssey loves it. It does just about everything well, and it’s a reliable family vehicle with impressive safety and reliability ratings. The interior is roomy, the driving dynamics are more engaging than you might think, and it can get luxurious in the upper trims. See Honda Odyssey models for sale near you
6. 2009 Kia Sedona
The Kia Sedona is a value-conscious minivan choice. It was affordable when new and is an even better buy after some depreciation. The 2009 Sedona earned good safety ratings when new and a generous list of standard features, including SiriusXM and a USB port. See Kia Sedona models for sale near you
7. 2008 Mazda5
The Mazda5 is smaller than the average minivan, but it still has sliding rear doors and 3-row seating for up to six. The Mazda5 is also a little sportier than its rivals, thanks to its smaller footprint and available manual transmission. See Mazda5 models for sale near you
8. 2008 Nissan Quest
Minivans aren’t known for their daring styling, but the Nissan Quest is an exception. This minivan is interesting to look at while still exceeding in family-friendly practicality. It also has a tremendous standard V6 engine, and we love the optional SkyView roof. See Nissan Quest models for sale near you
9. 2006 Toyota Sienna
The Toyota Sienna is another well-rounded minivan trusted by countless families. It has lots of interior space for passengers and cargo alike and is loaded with useful features, especially in the upper trims. It’s also the only minivan on the list with available all-wheel drive.

10. 2009 Volkswagen Routan
The Volkswagen Routan is mechanically similar to the Chrysler and Dodge minivans of the era but with some added German flair. It has distinct styling and a re-tuned suspension, but unfortunately, you can’t get it with Stow’ n Go seating. See Volkswagen Routan models for sale near you
