3.3 Liter V6 Automatic 78799 Original Miles **always Maintained And Very Clean** on 2040-cars
Middletown, New York, United States
|
This vehicle was bought locally from a Dodge dealer with 8570 miles in September 1995; as we understood it was a repossession purchased by the dealer at an auction. We've maintained it meticulously over the years and stored it in our barn with a cover on it. It's never been driven during the winter months. We basically used it for vacations to Amish country before we bought an RV. Our child is grown and we no longer use it or take the same vacations
as we did when she was younger so we have decided to downsize our
small fleet of cars. Plus, the registration is up in July; the NYS inspection is valid through October. Inspections receipts I found show the following consistent mileage: 2005: 61293
miles; 2006: 65,423; 2007: 67926; 2008: 69700; 2009: 71,984; so you see, were rarely
use and the mileage is valid. The Cooper Trendsetter 205/70R15 tire were installed on the factory gold 'lace spoke' wheels at 70,142. It has a Primetime Galavan conversion package which includes a hi top fiberglass roof, oak trim throughout, mood lights, reading lights, limo window tint, a small six pack sized cooler between the front seats, an extra drawer under the front passenger seat, a rear storage cabinet, TV, VCR, an extra rear radio/cassette, four headphones, four (4) captain chairs and a folding rear bench seat. This van seats 7. The rest of the truck is stock. The rear bench seat and the two rear captains chairs can be removed to allow the hauling of larger items if need be. We used to remove the rear bench seat to fit a large dog crate in the back. It also has a bug deflector and carpeted floor mats throughout. The large rear vent windows are powered from the driver's seat. The air conditioning condensor was replaced by a Dodge dealer several years ago so the A/C is cold; it also has rear A/C and heat. The transmission has always been serviced regularly with Mopar fluids only (this is very important for Dodges - to use Dodge transmission fluid and filter). The shocks/struts were changed around 43K with Monroe brand. The water pump was changed at 61K when we were on a trip to Amish country. The spark plugs, air filter and oil were installed/changed about a thousand miles ago; the battery was replaced in 2013; the front and rear wiper motors were replaced in 2011 (one failed so I had both changed at the mechanic's recommendation). The class IV hitch has only been used for hauling bicycles; this van has
never towed anything (it doesn't even have a trailer light switch plug
for the hitch). It also comes with a full tank of premium gas (we always used premium gas in this vehicle). The only real issues are the following: the clearcoat on the roof of the fiberglass high top is peeling (not the paint, just the clearcoat has failed); there is a paint blister/fail spot on the engine hood (quite atypical of Dodge, see the photo); the right side running board has a few scrapes on the bottom of it; and some of the gold pinstriping has darkened and flaked off with age here and there. The van runs perfectly and I estimate it gets about 18 mpg. Check the free independent Auto Check vehicle history report link from Experian (above) which shows the vehicle's history accurately. It rates this van above average for its age (scored it 42 when the average van of this year is 27) and it showed no 'red flags', no accidents, no surpises. Kelly Blue Book states the private sale price of this van in 'very good' condition is $3300, excellent $3400 - and that's without the Primetime conversion package add ons. It can be viewed before bidding, if you'd like, in Westtown, NY, probably on Saturday 6/7 - just contact me via eBay message. Any questions, please feel free to eBay message me, and I'll get back to you between 6PM and 10PM weekdays.

UAW papers reveal release dates for new Dodge, Jeep and Ram models
Fri, Dec 6 2019Documents published by the United Auto Workers union reveal key information about some of the products Dodge, Jeep and Ram will release during the early 2020s. All three brands will try to capitalize on the growing demand for trucks and SUVs in the United States. The agreement between the UAW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) outlines what the period between 2019 and 2023 will look like from an employee's vantage point. The $4.5 billion factory the automaker is building in Detroit will begin manufacturing a three-row Jeep model in 2020, and it will add the next-generation Grand Cherokee to its roster the following year, according to CarScoops. The new Grand Cherokee will also roll out of the Jefferson North facility that makes the current model scheduled to retire shortly before its successor arrives. The Dodge Durango will continue to be built there, and the UAW papers mention a mild-hybrid variant of the SUV due out before the end of 2020. Two body-on-frame Jeep models tentatively scheduled to revive the heritage-laced Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates will break cover in 2021. They will be built alongside Ram pickups at the Warren Truck plant, and odds are the three models will share several components under the sheetmetal. Adding the two Jeep models is expected to create 1,400 jobs, FCA predicted. Speaking of Ram, the high-performance TRX model (pictured) aimed at the Ford F-150 Raptor's jugular is penciled in for a 2020 launch. The concept that previewed the model made its debut in 2016, so it's reasonable to assume it will have changed considerably by the time it reaches showrooms. It will be based on the newest variant of the 1500, not on the last-generation model still sold as the Classic. What won't change is the supercharged, 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 between its fenders. The plug-in hybrid Wrangler remains on track for a 2020 launch. The Cherokee will continue to come out of Belvedere Assembly in Illinois, but the UAW's documents mention "fresh models / features" off of its unibody platform. Whether that means new trim levels or additional body styles remains to be seen, but it sounds like something new and Cherokee-related is around the corner. The ancient Dodge Journey shares at least one thing with the beater you drove in high school: a four-speed automatic transmission. The gearbox is finally on its way out, according to the UAW, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that powers the entry-level model isn't long for this world, either.
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.
