This has been our only family car for months, and we could continue that way indefinitely (3 little kids). It runs great. It has no air conditioning because the evaporator coil leaks, but it has a brand new compressor (replaced so the serpentine belt would operate properly). It has had no significant mechanical failures in the years we have owned it other than the recent replacement of the compressor. We've done maintenance, replaced brakes, batteries, and tires here and there, but it has never overheated, has never failed to start unless the battery was run down, does not burn oil, does not leak anywhere except the evaporator coil, transmission and clutch shift and engage smoothly, gets average gas mileage for this model (about 18 in the city, a little better on the road), electrical systems work, no shuddering, wheel, structural, or alignment problems, has never been wrecked, and just runs great in general. Its old and has a lot of miles, but shows no signs of quitting any time soon. I regularly put over 100 miles on it in a day, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow if I had to. We recently upgraded to a car with air conditioning, but its a gamble to assume any other used car is in better mechanical condition than this one.
This model has two captain's chairs in the middle row, and a full bench back row, with three seat belts (and room for 3 car seats if necessary:-). This is the extended model with extra room behind the back row. If you see only one captain's chair in the middle row in any of the pictures, that is because we found it very convenient to keep one captain's chair out of the middle so adults and bigger kids could easily get in and out of the back row. The seat snaps in and out of the van pretty easily, and we just put it in and out as we needed it. The second captain's chair is fully functional, and comes with the van. The back bench seat, and the two captain's chairs are all fully removable, so this would work great as an enclosed truck or a delivery vehicle.
This is a base model without a lot of extras, but it does have a little screen that tracks gas mileage, miles to empty, direction, and time. It has a fully functioning CD player and radio. It has a factory DVD system hard wired into the radio, and I think it works, but we never used it. Cruise works great. Sliding doors are only designed to operate manually (but my 4 year old can get them open and closed by herself, so they're not too hard to work).
If necessary, we will sell it with a state safety inspection certificate. We will also provide the buyer with all paperwork to transfer title, but title transfer fees, sales tax, and related costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Ebay's $60 final value fee is included in the price, and will be absorbed by seller.

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue. Scroll down to read the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration press release.

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
