| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | This is by far the BEST value for an entry level or lower level 7 passenger car on the road today. Ours came in, nicely equipped at just under $27k. |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | We happened to come across a dealer who was selling at invoice (although I'm sure they still made plenty of money), so there was no reason waste time with a painful negotiation process. |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Price was great compared to its rivals. Little cheaper materials interior wise but I can live with it saving the money we did. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | For the same features, it was about $10k cheaper then the competition. |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I bought this car with 19,000 miles and paid a little more than half of the MSRP. Chryslers should never be purchased new. They depreciate too quickly |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | We got a good deal. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Low financing available at 4%. I paid just over 1/2 of MSRP with discounts/incentives |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Dodge Grand Caravan

| 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. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Great dealer price on ex-leased vehicle...much less than an equivalent Japanese van |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The lower price and discounts make for reasonable payments. |
| 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, 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+. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| Price of the Dodge Grand Caravan: Cons | ||
| 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. |

You can tell some parts are cheaply made as the interior. Some interior pieces do not meet very well, but do not hang too far away. |

| 2009 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
As an Employee...Sad to say this is a nightmare of a vehicle and very scared to drive. I will no longer put my families life at risk in this van. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seems like it is falling apart after just one model year. Plastics and fit/finish were obviously sub-par. |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Things tend to break easily. |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Some interior parts are cheaply made, especially the plastic ones. Have had several pieces related to the stow-n-go break. Windows and door locks (electrical components) have given us problems in the past. But the fixes are usually cheap and easy enough to do on my own. |
| 2004 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Lots of rattles and squeaks. Lots of problems to be resolved when new. Problems such as defective alternator, rack and pinion had to be replaced at 38K. . . But all problems resolved, and all under warranty. Have not had any issues in the last 60k. |
| 2003 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior is very cheap. Hard plastics feel utilitarian. |
