2003 Dodge Caravan on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT
POWER EVERYTHING RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT HERE IS WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER BAD NEWS: THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REMOVED AND STRAIGHT PIPE RUN TO AVOID BURNING THE ENGINE IN CASE OF A CONVERTER BLOCKAGE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2010 WHEN THE CONVERTER WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD. THE O2 SENSORS CANNOT READ ACCURATELY WITHOUT IT, SO THE LIGHT IS STILL INDICATIVE OF A BAD CONVERTER/SENSOR TROUBLE CODE. IF YOU HAVE TO PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS IT WILL NOT PASS. THIS VEHICLE HAS RUPTURED/CRACKED PRESSURE PLATES AND ALTHOUGH IT DRIVES/CONTROLS/STEERS FINE, IT DOES EMIT SLIGHTLY MORE ROAD NOISE THAN IT WOULD REPAIRED, BUT I DID NOT SEE A WAY TO JUSTIFY $1400.00 FOR THE REPAIR. ($700.00 PER SIDE) THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS NOT GOING DOWN, BUT HAS NOT BEEN DOWN, SO THERE IS NO WATER DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. IT IS PROBABLY A CONNECTION IN A WIRE OR SWITCH. THERE IS BODY DAMAGE THROUGHOUT. THIS IS STRICTLY COSMETIC AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE'S ALIGNMENT, STRUCTURE, OR OPERATION. THERE ARE THREE "SPOTS" ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE ROCKS STRUCK IT IN TRAVEL. CLEAR FINGER NAIL POLISH WAS APPLIED IMMEDIATELY TO STOP ANY SPREADING. HEADLINER IS COMING LOOSE ESPECIALLY IN FRONT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE AND HAS TAKEN OUR FAMILY ON VACATIONS ANNUALLY FROM ST. LOUIS TO NASHVILLE TO FLORIDA. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. HERE IS A WHAT I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER DOING AS MAINTENANCE: 2009: TUNE UP, PCV VALVE, FUEL FILTER, RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL, BRAKES ALL AROUND UPON PURCHASE. 2010: REAR ENDED SO REAR BUMPER AND COVER WERE REPLACED. FRONT ROTOR WAS REPLACED FROM ACCIDENT. 2011: OIL DRAIN PAN & GASKET REPLACED. ALTERNATOR REPLACED. FRONT PADS REPLACED. 2012: NOTHING STANDS OUT, JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE. 2013: FRONT PADS WERE DEFECTIVE AND COMING APART SO THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN. VALVE COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED. 2014: TRANS SERVICE INCLUDING GASKET , FILTER, AND FLUID REPLACEMENT. ****REGULAR OIL & FILTER CHANGES WERE ALWAYS PERFORMED AT 3000 MILES-GIVE OR TAKE 500 MILES. THE AIR FILTER HAS ALSO BEEN REGULARLY REPLACED. THE VAN WILL BE DUE FOR A TUNE UP IN APP 30,000 MILES. A RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL WILL ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA. FEEDBACK WILL GLADLY AND QUICKLY BE RETURNED AFTER IT IS RECEIVED, THANKS. A $200.00 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS TO SHOW YOUR SERIOUS GOOD FAITH. FULL PAYMENT AND PICKUP IS REQUIRED IN PERSON WITHIN THREE DAYS FOR SCHEDULING--NOT NECESSARILY PERFORMED---JUST SCHEDULED!! I CAN WORK WITH YOU ON THAT. |

Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

Gas prices down, 707-hp engine production up... USA!
Tue, Jun 30 2015On Saturday, the United States of America will celebrate its 239th birthday. That means fireworks, barbecues, block parties, and, oh yeah, Hellcat engines and low fuel prices. The most American of (Mexican-built) powerplants, the big, loud, supercharged, 707-horsepower Hemi is slated for yet another production boost to match up with some serious demand, while the dino juice it runs on is cheaper than it's been in over half a decade. The Saltillo, Mexico engine factory already produces some 4,000 Hellcat engines each year – that's in addition to the Tigershark four-cylinder, the 5.7-liter Hemi, and 6.4-liter SRT Hemi V8s – and it's not entirely clear how many more might get added to that total. What we do know, though, is that Fiat Chrysler can't build the engines fast enough. "We're going to build more [Hellcats] for 2016," SRT boss Tim Kuniskis told Automotive News. "It's a small sliver of what we sell, but it really creates a halo for the rest of the lineup. For example, the next highest car, the Scat Pack Challenger, I have essentially a zero-day supply. It's sold out." This bit of good news comes on the back of something equally good – low summer gas prices. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the nationwide average for for "all formulations" of fuel in June sits at $2.885. Ignoring the remarkably low prices we saw in January and February of this year – figures that themselves hadn't been seen since May of 2009 – the national average hasn't sat that low since October 2010. So yes, it's a very a good time to be an American gearhead.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
