1999 Dodge Grand Caravan Le Mini Passenger Van 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland, United States
|
I recently purchased this 1999 Grand Caravan from the DC government. (hence the writing in the pictures, if more are needed just ask) I intended to give this van to my nephew who is a few weeks away from getting his licence. I wanted the van for my nephew for three reasons, low miles, was a government vehicle so you know it was maintained, and finally because what better way to slow down a 17 year-old boy than to stick him in a mom-mobile. Well when I went to give him the van he gave me a giant FU and I'm not driving that thing. So now i am stuck with a van and would like to recoup my money.
So now a little bit about the van. As i said earlier the van was used by the District of Columbia government. I know that it was used in some capacity in the public school system, what exactly for I am not sure. The van overall looks pretty decent the paint job is pretty good, with the exception of a few spots where decals were removed. There are a stickers that were placed on the front and back windows. Beyond the decals there is no body damage beyond minor smudges and scratches, and no rust. The frame looks good too, I would assume the van was stored in a garage. Now to the interior the seats are in great condition. The floors and carpet have a stains from mud and spilled beverages. I would almost guarantee 70 percent of them would come out with a good steam clean. (I have no problem doing it if is a deal breaker) the dash board looks good, one sticker is on passenger side over air bag. (this could also be removed) The van runs really well and drives really nice. . . for a minivan, it is not a sports car. Overall this seems to be a great mini van, I mean the van is 15 years old and only has 54,000 miles. Since I have purchased the car i put in a front drivers side wheel bearing. If your looking for a dependable used family vehicle and your on a budget, this is the van for you. No your not going to pick up 22 year-old females in it, but you will be able to safely get your family around in a low mileage dependable van. If you have any questions or want to come see the van call me anytime. Steve 443-630-1242 |

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment
Sat, 09 Aug 2014The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
