Ownership: 2005 Dodge Grand CaravanOwnershipThe Caravan starts well under $20,000 and the Grand Caravan at less than $24,000. For such relatively modest cash, Dodge's duo is surprisingly well appointed. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, a four-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo, and a lockable storage bin under the front-passenger seat. All Caravans are protected by Dodge's generous warranty coverage, including three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and seven-year/70,000-mile powertrain.
The Caravans' massively reconfigurable passenger compartments and raft of innovative features help them standout in the crowded segment. While the IntelliChoice Ownership Cost Value Rating may be Average, there are often factory and dealer incentives to sweeten the deal, ensuring that the minivan that started it all still has what it takes to hold its own in this fiercely competitive segment of the market.
