This van was in seemingly excellent condition for it's age.  I purchased it from a dealer who also works for a Mercedes dealership in the Youngstown area--it was a trade-in on a Mercedes Benz.  The previous owners took excellent care of it...other than sun fade on the paint and a scratch here and there, it looked great for being a 2000.  I paid a full $4100 out the door for it in late September 2012 after having a mechanical engineer look it over.  In December 2012, the brakes went out and it was a rusted brake line which he replaced.  He wiggled the suspension parts around and said it was tight.  His concern was that the steering was a little loose at center, but I'd been told by friends that that is typical on the old Dodges and figured the steering box just needed tightened.  Otherwise, it drove GREAT!  In February 2012 the steering wheel was off center as if you didn't align it when doing tie rod ends.  The steering gradually got looser and less stable.  Figured it needed tie rod ends--that's what the slight wandering felt like.  These are the only warnings I really got that anything was wrong.  Upon parking in a small hardware store parking lot that was lacking in space and required quite a few turns back and forth to get situated and parked properly in a tight space (April 2012), the steering became completely independent of turning the wheel.  Had it towed, and was shocked to hear that the frame actually broke because there are so many of these vans still on the road out there and their reviews are pretty good.  In disbelief, I looked at it with my own eyes and it is the case.  Rusted and broken. The spare tire is missing on this but the jack is still in its holder. The van does have a perfect small bulls-eye chip on the passenger side windshield (no spreading whatsoever) from my bf following a semi a little too close, but this auction does include the repair kit from NAPA to fill it. 

This van's interior and engine were as perfect as could get and everything works on it.  It only has 52,000 miles on it.  Interior is very very clean...was spotless when I purchased it, and the seats are super plush and cozy.  The back seat folds down into a super comfy plush bed!  Said I would never own a van, but after driving this even my daughters fell in love with the "BIG GREEN VAN"...with the roominess and the ride.   When I took it to work, since I wasn't allowed to sit at my desk to read on my lunch break, I would go out to the back seat of the van and read the Bible!  It just floated along on the highway and ran perfect.

MORE PICTURES TO FOLLOW--HOPEFULLY A PHOTOBUCKET SLIDE SHOW--I RAN OUT OF TIME TONIGHT UPLOADING THEM!  IF NOT POSTED YET, MESSAGE ME ON EBAY WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND YOU MANY MORE!!! 

Hopefully someone can get use out of this or part out interiors and pieces with one they have.  I didn't look into getting the frame fixed as it probably isn't feasible or practical for me financially to have it done by a mechanic or frame shop.  (I currently have a rust free Celica and am spoiled by the gas mileage with it!  This auction is only for the van.)  Clean carfax--email me and I should be able to scan it to you.  Clear title.  My loss is your gain! 

I reserve the right to end this auction early as this vehicle is for sale locally as well and will go to the first person who gives me cash in hand.  No warranties express or implied.  It is 13 years old.  Van is currently located at K G's Auto Repair in Norwalk, OH and will obviously needed to be transported/flat-bedded--it is not drivable in its present condition.  Please look at the pictures closely to see the condition of the van.  Check my feedback and bid with confidence!

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Stellantis reveals STLA Large platform with EV and ICE support

Fri, Jan 19 2024

Hot on the heels of a Jeep Wagoneer S teaser and photos of the prototype next-generation Dodge Charger (or Challenger), comes a reveal and details of what will likely underpin both of them: the STLA Large platform. It's one of multiple Stellantis flexible architectures that will be the basis of its upcoming electric cars, and apparently internal combustion ones, too. Stellantis says the STLA Large platform will be for D- and E-segment cars, crossovers and SUVs. In other words, it will be for midsize and large vehicles. For reference, lengths supported will be from 187.6 to 201.8 inches, and width will range from 74.7 to 79.9 inches. It will be highly flexible, too, with Stellantis claiming significant amounts of adjustability in overhangs, wheelbase, suspension placement and powertrain arrangement. The powertrain flexibility is quite impressive. Front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts will be supported. Single- and dual-motor layouts will be on offer. Internal combustion will be available, too, either on its own or as a hybrid. Apparently engines can be fitted either longitudinally or transversely, too. Battery packs with between 85 and 118 kWh of capacity will be offered, with Stellantis claiming that sedan-style vehicles could have a range of up to 500 miles. The packs will also be available in 400- and 800-volt designs. Stellantis noted also that the platform can "easily accept future energy storage technologies when they reach production readiness." This seems to hint that the company is looking at different battery chemistries and maybe even solid-state batteries that could be added more easily in the future. Furthermore, the platform is designed to handle impressive output. Stellantis says that some models on the platform will have 0-to-62 mph times in the 2-second range. Limited-slip differentials for improved power delivery and wheel-end disconnects for reduced mechanical drag are also on the table for this platform. All of these details fit well with the information previously given for the concept Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee and Jeep Wagoneer S. The former was previewed with both battery voltage architectures and a wide range of electric powertrains with between 456 and 670 horsepower depending on specification and upgrades. And that's just for the 400-volt system; the 800-volt option wasn't detailed. We've also seen photos of the Charger chassis seemingly with provisions for gas engines, likely versions of the Hurricane I6.

Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android

Mon, Jan 27 2020

If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
