| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The starting price for a well-equipped "Express" model is thousands less than the competition. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The lower price and discounts make for reasonable payments. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great dealer price on ex-leased vehicle...much less than an equivalent Japanese van |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
It was reasonably priced compared to other models available. |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Good value for money. Might not as be as reliable as imports BUT good enough! |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
We got a $4,000 discount on the van on the lot. |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very low price for used Caravans. |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Price is reasonable compared to the competition |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Thousands cheaper than a Honda or Toyota and for us, besides the little things, very reliable overall. |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
I picked up a used model well equipped 6 months old with 12,000 miles for $16,500 with an extended powertrain warranty up to 80k miles. Retail KBB was $19k+. |
| 2004 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Since it is domestically produced minivan, I found the Caravan comparatively cheaper, as compared to imports (and even some domestics, such as GM and Ford. |
| 2003 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
As a used vehicle, the Caravan costs about half as much as a Sienna or Odyssey of similar age and mileage. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This compares the SE to SXT. IMO, the SXT costs $5K more but only provides less efficiency, power doors, and more electronics. Power doors add weight and reduce reliability. Any electronics will be out of date next year. Your money, your toys. |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
For the money spent, we were able to get a fully loaded Hyundai, whereas the same money would not have given us as much with a Caravan. |
| 2003 | 4dr Minivan 215-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
I major issue is vehicle price based on fuel ecomomy. |

| Price of the Toyota Avalon: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Its Toyotas flagship vehicle - so no rebates/etc. But you pay for what you get :-) |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
No discount available when I shopped. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 210-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Avalon price higher; not as negotiable-at several dealers. |
