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.

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

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.

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
