Used Minivan Dealer

If you’re in the market for a new minivan, prepare yourself for sticker shock. The price of new minivans continues to rise, thanks to stiff competition from the crowded and popular SUV category. In order to compete, automakers are equipping today’s newer minivans with more options and features than a European luxury sedan, resulting in an ever-increasing sticker price. The better play might be to look for a pre-owned model, and your first step should be to find a used minivan dealer with a great inventory of choices and the knowledge needed to walk you through your options.

It’s almost always better to buy your vehicle from a certified dealer. Why? Fewer variables and less risk. When you buy from a private seller, you’re gambling on the vehicle’s condition. You’re relying on the seller to be upfront about any ongoing mechanical issues or accidents, and you're responsible for all of the necessary paperwork. It’s a lot of detail work and a huge time stealer, not to mention potentially unsafe. Anytime you’re meeting a stranger to test drive a car, vigilance is key.

Alternatively, buying from a dealer gives you access to factory-certified technicians and a modern, fully-equipped service center, a must for keeping your used minivan in excellent mechanical condition. You’ll have peace-of-mind knowing that your vehicle is inspected, in excellent condition, and ready to go. On-site financing makes paperwork a snap and saves you time in the long run and extended sales hours make scheduling time to shop extremely convenient. Overall, buying from a dealer is easier, safer, and more predictable than buying from a private party.

The Minivan vs the SUV

The SUV category exploded in the early 90s in response to fed up parents looking for a little more style in the carpool line. Minivans took on the stigma of a life stage that is most associated with child-rearing, endless youth sports-spectating, and general parental drudgery, ultimately becoming a cultural icon for suburban family life. Despite the plummeting interest, several automakers have doubled down on minivans, an indication that the category is not only still viable but vibrant and ripe for resurgence.

What does that mean for buyers? Today’s minivans compete solidly against SUVs for style, safety, convenience, and even luxury, and in some cases, they’re the better option. You won’t find sliding side doors on an SUV, and you won’t find the kind of interior passenger space that a minivan has thanks to low floors and longer wheelbases. Minivans are still king when it comes to available cargo space at an affordable price. In order to get even close, SUV buyers are forced to choose a giant SUV (like the Suburban) at a considerable price jump.

When it comes to consumer goods, you’re likely to get a better price on a product that has a lower perceived value. What that means is, since minivans aren’t as popular, they’re considered less valuable than SUVs, which are currently trendy and in-demand. That puts minivan buyers in a very favorable position. It’s much more likely to fetch a great price for a used minivan today than an SUV. Add the extra cost for an SUV with three rows of seating (all minivans come standard this way), and the clear price-winner is the minivan.
