I'd suggest the Odyssey, it's a great van but it's a Honda so don't buy one.
Check out the Kia Sedona. Great van, a little boring to drive but it's a van so that shipped sailed, and you get a lot for your money with them. Brand new might be a tad close to your budget but I'd recommend buying a year or 2 old used anyway

Why not buy a Honda?
