Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This vehicle would qualify somewhere between "good" and "fair" on the Kelley Blue Book rating scale. It runs well, and all major systems are in good mechanical condition to the best of my knowledge. Paint is good--NO RUST, but it does have dents and dings. Interior is good for its age, all defects are shown in pictures. Tires match and are in OK condition, but wheels are mismatched. NO A/C. Brand new compressor, but the evaporator coil leaks. Runs and starts well every time."

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.

The Dodge Demon sheds some weight in pursuit of speed

Thu, Jan 19 2017

The Dodge Demon teaser train isn't stopping until it hits New York City. In case you need a reminder, the upcoming Demon is the more pedestrian Hellcat's stripped-down and hopped-up sibling that promises to be built for the sole purpose of traveling a quarter-mile mile quicker than any of its rivals. The weekly video rollout on www.ifyouknowyouknow.com continues with the latest sneak peak, "Reduction." While there were early rumors that the Demon may pack an all-wheel-drive system and in turn gain enough grip to rotate the Earth underneath it, Dodge and SRT look to be going down a simpler route. The press release reveals the Demon is 200 pounds lighter than the standard Hellcat. It's unclear where all that weight is coming from, but at nearly 4,500 pounds, the Challenger Hellcat could stand to go on a bit of a diet. The video hints at adjustments to the wheels, steering, suspension, and brakes, as well as some modifications to the car's interior. Don't be surprised if the Demon is a bare bones stripper model with no back seat, no A/C, and no radio. Who needs music when you have 2.4-liter supercharger and a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 making sweet love under the hood?

Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons

Thu, Jun 19 2014

Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
