Used Dodge Caravan for Sale

I purchased this used about a year ago. It had a bit of high millage but I needed a van because of my family. The vehicle is respectable I will give it that. Its more of a no frills type of mini van. While not being the greatest of mini vans it does its job well. For some reason Dodge doesn't seem to like to push the edge with mini vans. The are more likely to stick with tried and almost true which is what this vehicle is about.

The 2000 Dodge Caravan has proven throughout the era, that the engine has a long life. Not to mention its style and seating availability, which comes in handy when I wanted to move furniture from one place to another. It drives steady, and the brake system is efficient. However, the repairs can be costly concerning the older model that it is. The transmission needed to have the solenoid replaced. As well as repairing the electrical issues. The dashboard completely stopped working. Not to mention consistent oil leaks. It had been in and out of the shop for various issues after the first year. One problem was with the A/C. Had it in three times under warranty, and they finally fixed the problem. Not even Freon seemed to work. Although I liked the used van, my advice for those looking for a new car, is to save up and purchase it while it is new! It is a multi-use van that you can use for family trips and everyday commuting. Not to mention that the price to purchase is cheaper than many other vehicles.

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.
