Help! I need a minivan and the prices are all close to 900 a month without putting money down! Is there a secret way to get one cheaper? Financing ? Lease? Help!

Buy a used old one (Facebook marketplace craigslist, Yad Shniya...) . I spent less than 5k on my 2010 Sienna a few years ago and it's going strong BH. Just make sure you bring it to a mechanic you trust before buying.

You must have bought before covid. That number is a joke now.
I am looking also, and the prices for second hand minivans are average 20k. but most are more even. Especially toyotas and hondas.
5000k you might find if it's a chrysler/dodge and theres over 150k miles on it, which makes it pointless to buy.

I recently bought a 2018 SUV so 6 years old with around 50k in miles, the car payment if we had financed would have been around 450-500 a month. Are you only looking at current models because that is very expensive. I bought used through a dealer.

I bought a 2007 last year for 5k. You just have to work hard to find a good one.

Nope was after Covid. And yes there was over 150k miles but our mechanic really thought it will last. Siennas can get a lot of miles on them.

When we bought ours we were struggling financially. When this one dies we now can afford a newer one with less miles but she asked for the cheapest way.

This way only works through an owner not a dealer. (The same vans will be closer to 8-9k through a dealer)

Do you mind me asking which company you are leasing through?
