    Introduction

    Minivans have long faced a negative soccer mom stereotype, but the clever packaging and great value make these people-movers useful even if they’re not regarded as cool. The sliding doors on minivans open far wider than anything you’ll find on a crossover, making them ideal for kids and gear. Few vehicles combine this much utility and the ability to seat seven or eight.

    We perused the used vehicles on AOL Autos to find 10 recession-busting deals on used minivans for under $10,000. Take a look at what we found.

    Remember, shopping for used minivans involves some risk, since their versatile nature lends them to be driven for a lot of hard miles. Make sure to have it checked out before buying.
