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!

These Canadians somehow forgot how to drive in snow

Tue, Dec 6 2016

Montreal drivers experienced a slow-motion pileup on their streets this weeks thanks to the first snow fall of the season. According to the CBC, slippery conditions caused a small pileup involving cars, buses and even a street clearing vehicle. Onlookers in neighboring office buildings watched as vehicle after vehicle slid down Cote du Beaver Hall and crashed into the scrum of waiting cars. First there was a city bus, then a white Ford F-150 work truck loaded down with ladders, then another city bus came along and sandwiched the poor F-150. A Montreal Police Charger then came down the hill backwards, hit the bus in a slow, sad crash before it was crashed into by an out of control plow truck. Since its posting yesterday, the video of the crash has gone viral. Various other vehicles–a green-topped Scion delivery truck and a couple workaday sedans–were lucky enough to escape the pileup, but still suffered through a white-knuckled slippery descent down the hill. Colin Creado, who works nearby the crash site, told the CBC although it was pretty slippery, he was surprised at all the carnage since the storm was forecast well in advance. "You would have thought ... they would have salted the area or at least cordoned it off, because that road is pretty steep," he told the station.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
