Best Used Minivans Under $15,000

Minivans aren’t sexy. But for families and businesses that use their vehicles to transport people and things on a regular basis, these utilitarian servants are a necessity. Unfortunately for those on a budget, they can be expensive when new, so we searched for used minivans and other people-haulers under $15,000. We really like the vehicles we've found, and we think you will, too.

Selling Points: The Taurus X is among the best non-minivans for people hauling. Our favorite feature on this roomy crossover is the easy-to-operate stowable seats. You can actually fold down the second and third row completely flat, as well as the front passenger seat, giving you the capability to carry a 10-foot ladder with the tailgate closed.

Selling Points: The Grand Caravan is the original minivan, and Chrysler takes great pride in staying on the cutting edge of interior packaging. All that effort is apparent in the 2009 Caravan, with Stow-N-Go storage under the second row seats and swiveling second row seats with a stowable table.
