Used Dodge Caravan for Sale

The 2002 Dodge Caravan has frequent challenges with its heater module and cluster panel. They communicate in such a way that it is difficult to tell whether the speedometer failure is caused by one or the other source. Repairs are costly, as mechanics say the parts are not considered more reliable than the original. I chose to have the instrument cluster re-welded by an expert and replace the heater module. Once the parts have been repaired/replaced, no further issues so far. Currently, this Dodge has over 250,000 miles on it, and is running like a champ. I had the engine seals replaced, and it resolved a small oil leak. Steering is good, though I get nervous about being able to hear the gears working in the steering column when taking a sharp left turn at low speed. The seats are very comfortable, and I enjoy being able to remove back benches in order to haul larger items. Fuel efficiency is pretty good for an older vehicle, up to 20 MPG on the highway. The caravan design also allows for great visibility all around while driving. I would rate this vehicle 3.5 out of 5 stars.

We bought a Dodge Caravan used three years ago, with about 35k miles, which is a pretty decent mileage. The car looked great as well. Since we needed a bigger car and preferred the size of a van we decided to purchase this vehicle. Well over the last two years, this car has aged greatly. The undercarriage has completely rotted out and continues to do so at an alarming rate. Since purchasing the vehicle we have also met others who have purchased Dodge Caravans, that have had the same exact problem, they rust from the inside out. Now we still owe what ends up to be about four times what the car is worth! Absolutely disgusted!

At the time I drove this car, my kids were younger, so it was great. It was roomy, had great storage and the seats turned down. It had all the bells and whistles and had great gas mileage. Just looks like a "mom car."
