Do you part out cars for a living? Awesome! Congrats on having a super classy job. I'm about to make it that much classier.

This here vehicle for sale is a van. But not just any van, oh no sirree. This here van is a Chrysler Town AND Country. Two-thousand and four. This vans parents remember when there were no vans, and you had to drive uphill everyday in a wagon. A "station" wagon, with wood paneling. And no shoes. Think 1977 Ford Country Squire. I grew up in one. Take it from me, you don't want a wagon. You want a van.

This van has it all, I tell you. Tires. Lightbulbs. Big lump of metal at the front that holds in the explosions and makes it go. All the bells and whistles. Seems fantastic, right?

This van also has a secret. This van has been the victim of automobile abuse.

Not at home, mind you. I've known this van for years, and I know better than to dare abuse it. There has been enough abuse already. No, the abuse I speak of came at the bumper of a Chevy. A Chevy that cared not for my van or common automotive decency. A Chevy that did a number on the driver side door.

All the bits and pieces work*. Including the window regulator on the driver side, which kind of adds insult to injury seeing as there is no window to regulate. Lots and lots of miles on the drivetrain, but they were gentle miles. Low rpm long commute style miles. Bought new by my car whiz father and maintained scrupulously. Carts dogs around like a boss. Would cart kids as well, if kids weren't just the worst. Anyway. Buy this van, please. Part it out. Take the profits and go paint whatever town you call home red. Or blue. I prefer green myself, but it's all subjective.

*Totally forgot. The radiator leaks. I have to pour around a gallon of water into it every two days or so. But you're parting it out and aluminum is aluminum, so not the end of the world.

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.

Court ruling to delay Fiat's Chrysler buyout?

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

We've already reported on the attempts of Fiat to purchase the remaining 41.5-percent stake in Chrysler, currently owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA healthcare trust. And while the issues still aren't resolved, Fiat has received both a bit of good news and a bit of bad news from a Delaware judge.
The good news is that the court ruled in favor on two key arguments of Fiat's, relating to what is a fair price for the Chrysler shares. The rulings essentially slash half a billion dollars off the price of the 54,000 shares owned by VEBA, according to a report from Reuters.
The bad news is that this makes the UAW an even more difficult opponent in negotiations. Its VEBA fund is meant to cover ever escalating retiree healthcare costs, so naturally, the UAW wants to get as much money as possible. Losing a big chunk of cash isn't likely to make the union more cooperative.
