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.

Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030
Tue, Mar 1 2022Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.
