A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 414 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and structure; have those parts checked.

Reading the spec sheet

Power comes from the 3.6L 6-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $18.29 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Grand Caravan on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
