Used Dodge Caravan for Sale in Houston, TX

We have owned 4 different models of the Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country/Plymouth Voyager since 1987, and are now on our 4th (or 5th?) in this series, another Dodge Caravan. They are a great car for a family, and are wonderful for trips or just around town. They have each lasted for over 200,000 miles, and would have gone longer if we had maintained them better.

Story

I really can't think of anything at this point.

Pros

The 2014 Dodge Caravan we have now has the stow -n- go capability to store the rear bench seats and the two middle seats. This gives a wonderfully large storage area that will easily fit furniture and mattresses.

Cons

Although I love the Stow -n- Go aspect for the rear bench seat and the two middle seats, that now means that the spare tire has to be hidden under the console (under the car itself) in the front seat. We haven't had to retrieve it yet, but we hope it won't be too difficult of a task when we do need to get the spare tire. We haven't even tried to retrieve it in the 1-1/2 years that we have had our new car. I'm sure it will work out, but it just looks inconvenient and hard to get to, as compared to where the spare was stored on earlier vehicles. There is also a really strange whistle/whi... (more)

2005 Dodge Caravan - Reliable family vehicle.

The Dodge Caravan is a vehicle I grew up with and now having my own herd of children, I enjoy it as a driver. The size, comfort and smoothness of travel makes trips enjoyable. It has plenty of room for most families and does not disappoint in leg room. They last for ages and that makes the investment worth it.

Story

There are so many good memories we have had in this vehicle. Many songs sung and talks had.

Pros

A great feature of the Dodge Caravan is the available captains seats for the middle row. This allows for car seats to strap in to the Latch system and the kids to NOT touch each other. The Stow & Go compartments in the middle and back make it easy to keep the floor clutter free, if that is even a thing with children. The seats completely flip in the floor which is versatile for long trips to let the kids sit in the back and stretch out.

Cons

The negative aspects of this vehicle include the gas mileage. It hovers around 19 steadily and that's definitely a draw. The styling is pretty boring, but that's not super relevant in my list of needs. After a time, the electronics in the vehicle are starting to give out. The automatic doors do not work any more and it takes great effort to open and close the sliding doors.
