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.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power

Tue, 21 May 2013

A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.
