THE GOOD:
• We purchased this Dark Blue Caravan (not Grand) used with ~53k miles,~ four years ago, from Bonneville & Sons in Hookset NH, where it had also been purchased new. It looked like the dealership went through it and installed new belts, rear shocks, brakes, etc. . .
• It now has ~93k miles, and it's been a reliable, trouble-free ride the entire time.
• It starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops just as it should - smooth and straight, and uses only ~one quart of oil between changes.
• It is a non-smoking car, with clean interior (no rips, tears, stains, etc.).
• Routine maintenance performed by yours truly has included oil/filter changes every ~5000 miles, tire rotations every ~10,000 miles, new front brake pads/rotors and a new battery.
• The only warranty repair was replacement of the transmission solenoid pack, performed ~two years ago by Port City Chrysler.
• The only non-warranty repair was last year's replacement of the forward oxygen sensor, which was indicated by my little OBD scan tool. (This was the ONLY time the check engine light came on during our four years of ownership.)
• The factory options on this particular SXT model include: A/C (blows cold and strong -- always has), Cruise Control, Driver/passenger zoned climate controls, Power windows, Power locks, Power mirrors, DVD player, AM/FM/CD, Alloy wheels, Second row bucket seats, Rear privacy glass, Roof rack
THE BAD (full disclosure):
• It's going to need tires (size 215/65 16); the ones on it now are worn uniformly & perfectly -- right down to the tread wear indicators.
• The passenger-side power window is nonfunctional, with the window stuck in the up (closed) position.
• The power lock on the driver side rear door works 'seasonally'; only in the cold/winter months for some reason.
• There is a crust bubble on the driver side front fender, along with some other minor nicks & scratches -- typical for a nine year old minivan.
(Regarding the reference to an 'accident' in NC reported in the vehicle history, I remember seeing this same report when we were buying the car, but I'll be damned if I can detect any related issues.)
THE UGLY:
• Nothing to speak of. . .
Price is set at $3,725. Vehicle is located at our residence in Dover, NH. Local Pickup Only - No transport. Email with questions and/or to arrange viewing.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
