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. (For reference, the edmunds.com 'Private Party' value for this vehicle in 'Clean' condition is $3,661; the NADA.com 'Average Trade-In' value for this vehicle is $3,525; the kbb.com 'Private Party' value for this vehicle in 'Fair' condition is $3,704.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody | First Run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Mon, Jul 17 2017In addition to driving the Dodge Demon, we also had a chance to sample the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody last week. We drove it on the famed infield road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We're not at liberty to give you our impressions just yet, but you can experience the sights and sounds of the 707-horsepower Hellcat Widebody in the above video. Thanks for watching. Check back on Wednesday, July 19, to read about the experience.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
