Selling this solid 2002 Grand Caravan as we sent a kid to college, downsized the vehicle, just don't need the size of the van any longer.
Purchased from original owner in Downers Grove, IL, 3 years ago. Was well maintained at Zeigler Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in Downers Grove where it was originally delivered.
This Grand Caravan has always been extremely reliable for our family. We have maintained it locally through an independent mechanic, and with 154,000 miles, it runs and acts like a lower mileage van. It really does run out well and with a couple little things done, it really could probably be reliably driven just about anywhere in the country. We've always trusted it.
Equipment:
3.3 litre V6
Roof Rack
Power Steering, Power Brakes
Power Windows, Power Locks
Seats 7 - Two Rear Seats Roll Out Entirely, for cargo space
AM/FM CD radio, factory equipment
Cloth Interior
AC
Cruise/Tilt
Remote Starter/Alarm
2" Trailer Hitch/Receiver
The Upsides:
Runs extremely well. Shifts right, no slop, strong transmission. Is clean inside...did not smoke...no damage inside ie rips, tears, burns, etc, to upholstery. Recent work includes newer tires, new radiator, new water pump, tune up, oil changes were consistent. It does use a bit of oil. Not a lot. Maybe around a quart between oil changes, nothing unexpected, though, considering the mileage. It just runs well, and is going to give someone a lot more service over the next several years. Most everything, I believe, does work just fine.
The Downsides:
Brakes. They are dangerously bad. It lost a bit of what turned out to be brake fluid in our driveway. Local mechanic repaired a hose of some sort where a fitting blew out. Brakes were fine immediately afterward, but over the course of a month to month and a half, they went very soft again. It really is just about entirely unsafe to drive with the brakes as they currently are. So I don't honestly know if there is a brake line leaking somewhere, or something affecting pressure in the lines...master cylinder? I just don't know, and chose not to make the investment of time/money to dig further at the moment.
There is surface rust here and there, nothing super widespread, but it's there. There is one rust through area down low, left/driver's side, behind the sliding door and in front of the left rear wheel. They all seem to get it in this same spot. The plastic molding is missing on the right sliding door. Small thing. And it has some dings in the tailgate. Some parking lot dings and scratches. The lower air dam under the front bumper has a crack. So it's not pristine. It's 10 years old and has been in its share of parking lots and collected the nicks and dings.
I don't have a functioning remote door opener/clicker, the one I got from the original owner broke. So the vehicle is equipped with a remote starter, and alarm system, and remote openers, but the keytag/opener needs to be replaced if you choose to use it. Otherwise, it works fine with just the key.
Thanks for looking. Please only bid if you are serious and able to complete the transaction within 48 hours of auction closing, ie payment in full and vehicle pickup. Also please leave a note/email with questions, we'll return emails/calls immediately.

An inside look at Mopar's SEMA fleet
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.
Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle
Thu, 07 Nov 2013The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.
