1993 Dodge Grand Caravan LE
We are selling our trusty old family van. While this vehicle has high mileage, it has been well maintained and is completely reliable. I have had this car on a steady diet of Mobile 1 synthetic since it had about 50K on the odometer. It shows as the engine runs as good as new and burns virtually no oil. The body is in great shape for a car of this age. It has all original paint and has never been in any accidents. There is some surface rust behind the wheels where sand and gravel have sand-blasted the paint, and there is some flaking and pealing of paint on the roof from the sun. There also the usual number of rock dents around, but overall this car is in great shape. I have done little detailing to this car, so what your see is what you get.

While I have taken great care to insure an accurate representation of this auto, there is no warranty expressed or implied. The buyer assumes all risks associated with purchasing this vehicle .

Consumer Rated Condition: Good   
"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history , the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.

 
Private Party Value $2,070   
Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.

 

Recent Maintenance items:
All new fuel injectors. after replacing two fuel injectors for seeping fuel, I decided to replace the remaining four when the third one started to leak.
New brake disks and pads (front) and shoes and drums (rear). The brakes work better than new.
Shocks and Struts. Were replaced in the last 15K miles with top of the line gas shocks and struts from Johnson's. Should last for quite while.
The tranny was rebuilt about eighteen months ago. Caravans are prone to transmission problems and this vehicle has been no exception. Unfortunately I had the dealership replace the transmission the first two times and it only last long enough each time for the warranty to expire. This time I took it to A Affordable Transmission in Anchorage. They are supposed to be the best Alaska has to offer. Although the warranty has now expired, we have put on very few miles since it was rebuilt. It shifts better than ever and I suspect the job was done right this time.
The windshield was recently replaced.
Spark-plugs and wires.
Air and oil filters and fresh Mobile 1 Synthetic in 5w-30.
Heavy duty battery.
Rebuilt alternator.
Serpentine belt.
Known Issues:
The left rear tail-light has a broken mount on one end. The light assembly has been like this for years and isn't going anywhere, so I just ignored the problem.
The electric radiator fan vibrates. You can notice it when idling and the fan comes on. Again, I have not felt compelled to deal with this.
The surface rust and paint scale mentioned earlier.
While there is plenty of rubber left, the tires aren't the greatest. The last set of summer tires I purchased were some cheapies from Johnson's Tire. They handled like such garbage that at the end of last winter I decided to pull the studs from our Good Year winter tires and run those during the summer. We've been using those since. The tires are good enough to navigate winter safely, and work reasonably well enough on dry or wet roads, but you'll probably want to replace them in the not too distant future.
The front speakers cut in and out at times. Turning the volume up usually solves the problem, at least temporarily. I have no idea what is causing this problem
The lights in the stereo are burnt out and difficult if not impossible to read at night. You'll probably want to replace the stereo soon.
I lost (or it was stolen) a hub-cap. I couldn't find a replacement at the bone-yard, so I bought some plastic aftermarket caps and they seem to be working fine. I am including the remaining three original hub-caps.
The drivers side seat is beginning to show signs of wear.
