THE GOOD:
• We purchased this Dark Blue Caravan (not Grand) used with ~53k miles,~ four years ago, from Bonneville & Sons in Hookset NH, where it had also been purchased new. It looked like the dealership went through it and installed new belts, rear shocks, brakes, etc. . .
• It now has ~93k miles, and it's been a reliable, trouble-free ride the entire time.
• It starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops just as it should - smooth and straight, and uses only ~one quart of oil between changes.
• It is a non-smoking car, with clean interior (no rips, tears, stains, etc.).
• Routine maintenance performed by yours truly has included oil/filter changes every ~5000 miles, tire rotations every ~10,000 miles, new front brake pads/rotors and a new battery.
• The only warranty repair was replacement of the transmission solenoid pack, performed ~two years ago by Port City Chrysler.
• The only non-warranty repair was last year's replacement of the forward oxygen sensor, which was indicated by my little OBD scan tool. (This was the ONLY time the check engine light came on during our four years of ownership.)
• The factory options on this particular SXT model include: A/C (blows cold and strong -- always has), Cruise Control, Driver/passenger zoned climate controls, Power windows, Power locks, Power mirrors, DVD player, AM/FM/CD, Alloy wheels, Second row bucket seats, Rear privacy glass, Roof rack

THE BAD (full disclosure):
• It's going to need tires (size 215/65 16); the ones on it now are worn uniformly & perfectly -- right down to the tread wear indicators.
• The passenger-side power window is nonfunctional, with the window stuck in the up (closed) position.
• The power lock on the driver side rear door works 'seasonally'; only in the cold/winter months for some reason.
• There is a crust bubble on the driver side front fender, along with some other minor nicks & scratches -- typical for a nine year old minivan.

(Regarding the reference to an 'accident' in NC reported in the vehicle history, I remember seeing this same report when we were buying the car, but I'll be damned if I can detect any related issues.)


THE UGLY:
• Nothing to speak of. . .

Price is set at $3,725.  Vehicle is located at our residence in Dover, NH.  Local Pickup Only - No transport.  Email with questions and/or to arrange viewing.

Watch a Dodge Challenger Demon break 200 mph

Fri, Feb 16 2018

We all know that the Dodge Challenger Demon is a monster in short bursts. Its 840 horsepower and drag-ready tires allow it to hit 60 mph in a claimed 2.3 seconds on the way to a sub-10-second quarter-mile time. But it turns out that the Demon doesn't run out of grunt after the quarter-mile. This was proven by a group that took one to the runway where space shuttles landed, Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds in Florida. There they hit a top speed of 203 mph. Dodge doesn't give a top speed for the Demon, but for a bit of comparison, the 707-horsepower Hellcat Widebody has a top speed of 199 mph. Watching the video, it's interesting how calm things appear to be in the cabin. There doesn't appear to be much vibration, and the car was clearly staying steady in a straight line, since the driver hardly moved the wheel. And before you know it, the 2.3-mile run is over. The run's not official unless a record-keeping body is witnessing it, and there will surely be Demons out there trying to beat this run, but it's sure fun to watch in the meantime.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.
