Dodge Grand Caravans are always the great bargains of the minivan world, and our full-size Grand Caravan SE is the *perfect* bargain for you if you are mechanically inclined!

Gently used by a single parent and older child, the interior is in very good shape for a 2003. Absolutely smoke-free and pet-free. 

7-passenger family van! White exterior with black details. Grey cloth interior. Three rows of comfortable seating are in excellent condition. 

Features: 
  • *Remote starter* wonderful for the coldest (and the hottest) days!
  • Remote keyless entry
  • 3.3L engine

Maintenance and repairs:
(Regular maintenance consistently performed at dealer; additional recent history below)
  • July 2012: New muffler and exhaust system; New rear shocks
  • June 2012: New front and rear brakes; New front rotors; New rear calipers/ wheel cylinders
  • February 2012: Two new tires
  • January 2012: New transmission control module
  • August 2011: New fuel pump, New sway bar links
  • August 2010: Replaced water pump, oil pan, rear wiper motor, two new tires
Minor annoyances: the sliding-door lock on the driver’s side does not lock automatically (works just fine by pushing the button down, though. Not a big deal but something you have to remember to do). Turn signal works fine, but has to be turned off manually. Front passenger-side window sometimes seems to roll up or down slowly. 


Handyperson’s special, as-is, where-is—please note: 

The van has not been driven since November 2012. When it was last driven it was making a chirping noise, and the engine light had gone on. Our mechanic tells us that the van needs a belt and tensioner, and also needs an oxygen sensor (this is the cause of the check-engine light). With how much care we have put into making this van’s mechanicals new-again (see list above!), it is time to let this car go to someone handy who can do the labor himself or herself and have the benefit of all the other new parts we’ve put into it. 

The exterior and underside does have rust and wear consistent with its age, noted with as much detail as possible in the photos included in this listing, and a dent at the corner of the rear bumper (see photo). 

Being sold in as-is, where-is condition, with no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied. The van has not been driven for a couple of months—note that the battery has discharged over the winter—but was drivable at that time. This is NOT to be considered a statement of its current driveability. Because of the noise and the known condition we will not be able to allow test drives before purchase. This is why we are making this description very in-depth—and with the thousands of dollars of repairs in just the last two years, the price is a suitable steal!!

We are selling our beloved Grand Caravan only because we bought another one—we really love our Dodge Caravans and treat them well, and we know you’ll love this one, too!

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from Dart all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango - and some of the other models wearing this badge - are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third - far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.

Dodge Journey gets new $24,895* SE V6 AWD model

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

While the Dodge Journey crossover remains largely unchanged for the 2014 model year, there are two new flavors of the seven-passenger CUV on offer: the butch-looking Crossroad, and the SE V6 AWD, pictured right, which makes its debut today. As its name suggests, this new Journey model features the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, and offers all-wheel drive, which, with a starting price of $24,895 (*excluding $995 for destination), reduces the cost-of-entry for an AWD-equipped Journey by $1,800 versus the SXT AWD model. Scroll down for the official press blast.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It'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.
