For minivans, I typically recommend the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler minivans. In your price range, I think it would be one of the Chryslers. Make sure it's a solid car with no major problems. Transmissions have been the weak point of these vehicles and if you can find one that hasn't shown any problems here, you'll be happy. Try to avoid the 3.0L Mitsubishi engine.
GM vans don't crash well. Ford vans don't feel as solid as the Chryslers. Toyotas and Hondas will be too expensive unless you want one of the four cylinder Honda Odysseys (older generation, swinging doors) or Toyota Previa (underpowered unless it's supercharged). |

My mother has owned a few Caravans over the years. (I am holding out as long as possible before I get one) They were real solid runners. Very few problems and were a pretty comfortable ride. You will be happier with the larger engine options to get a loaded one up and running though. They are a dog when fully loaded.
