  • Not bad for a 16 year run - 1993 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    Generally, this car has been a trooper. I got her from my parents in December of 2001, they bought her almost brand new as a program car in 1993. She took us on several 200+ mile trips to visit family, a pretty lengthy journey to Disneyworld, an even lengthier trip to Kentucky - and this was all mostly during her first 60,000. After that point, as Ive heard was common with this particular model, the transmission gave out and we had to have a new one dropped in. Since owning it, Ive had to have a new compressor installed, and shes having trouble with oil consumption and struts. But for her age, the fact shes still running is quite impressive.

  • All good except the transmission - 1993 Dodge Caravan

    My van has the 3.3 litre V6 engine with the 4 speed trans. with overdive. Its not a good tranny as youve read here. The rebuilder said its similar to unit fitted in the old Dodge Omni and Horizon compacts from the 80s. Guess they had lots of spares. You can expect to replace it about every 40 000 miles. The engine is very good actually, I never had much trouble with it other than a head gasket being replaced once. The ABS system failed at around 150000 miles and it was under warranty for life, low cost repair.

  • A great vehicle - I hate to let it go! - 1993 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    What a great vehicle. I bought in 98 with about 45,000 miles and "commuted" from LA to Vancouver - up to 10 times a year! 2 long days of driving. I am tall, lowered the drivers seat 2 inches, took out the back seats and made a comfortable, almost queen size bed, good for a "micro motor home". Good fuel economy with the 3L engine. The a/c pump is about all Ive had trouble with. Engine and tranny are great, after 13 years. Change brakes and tires, oil & tranny fluid - thats it. Thanks, Chrysler, for a great vehicle.

  • Well worth the investment - 1993 Dodge Caravan

    We have bought several of these and they have all performed well. This one has broken down only once in ten years. We are keeping it as a pick up vehicle for our company. We made the mistake of getting light blue paint, which failed, the only real problem with the vehicle.
