  It has been a great van for us. Only minor repairs till 235,000 then the trans went out, but I have no complaints. Air conditioner is still ice cold with no repairs. Gas mileage was decent (20 mph)with the 3.3. I would buy another one. Great van for the money. Took many trips in the old girl. She was a good one.

  My third Dodge minivan - 2000 Dodge Caravan
  By wkguy - November 4 - 8:13 pm

  This is my third Dodge minivan. The two earlier versions were 4 pingers. Present is 6. Better mileage with the 4 and easier to change the plugs. Comfortable ride. The rear seats can be removed but a real back breaker for most people and most women shouldnt even consider it. My dealer recently changed the serpentine and air cond belt. 5 weeks later the serpentine belt comes off and they charge me another $200.00 to put it back on saying it also needed a new idler belt. A real scam but I dont blame the van...it didnt cheat me, the dealer did. Replaced brake pad around 45,000 miles transmis solenoid gasket around 64,000...check engine light stays on but everything else works find.

  Its an OK choice. Pretty reliable. - 2000 Dodge Caravan
  By Roman - April 19 - 4:35 pm

  When I bought this car it has 72K and I put another 7000 miles on it. All I can say is its not real pretty on the inside or outside, but with captain chairs its a very good family car. Its quite reliable too (try a Windstar, youll know the difference). Its 3.8L engine took a little less gas then Windstar, and its quite powerful too. I didnt know that when the car stays a couple weeks outside and brakes get rusty - you have to take the wheel off and smake the drums with the hammer, so I ended up replacing tire, brakes and wheel. ($350lost,put used alloy wheel and used tire). Id recommend this car to someone who likes comfort, but doesnt have enough money to buy and Odessey or Sienna.

  We purchased the Caravan, used, for the style, comfort, and price. After about our second year of owning the van we started having problems. The transmission started leaking, I cannot remember the name of the part, but it cost $445.00 to replace. The key would not turn when placed in the ignition and after calling the dealership we were told to put the key in the ignition and tap it with a hammer, which worked. The van has good power and the basic equipment is all we needed, power, two sliding doors, keyless entry, etc... I know when youre buying used you may be buying someone elses problems but I will buy new next time and it will be foreign.

  Average price, average van - 2000 Dodge Caravan
  By EC - December 15 - 10:02 pm

  This is our second Dodge minivan and is a great improvement over the 91 model we owned. At 56,000 miles have had no major problems. Brake pads and front rotors seem to wear quickly, and belt tensioner failed at 50,000. Transmission makes buzzing noise when shifting, but have heard this on other Chrysler vehicles. Just hope the tranny stays together! Great for long trips and plenty of room...fairly quiet, too. 3.0 Mitsu engine has been reliable, but could use more power on long hills at highway speed. So far for the money, this has been a good vehicle.

  My second one! - 2000 Dodge Caravan
  By Nomad1500 - January 16 - 2:00 am

  Well so far nothing major. I have only had it for 3 months. I had the transmission solenoid gasket replaced,70 bucks. I have a 1989 Grand Caravan with a 3.0 as with this one. 177,000 miles on it. Still no oil on the spark plugs! The 3.0 is a mitsubishi motor, I feel the Japs make a good v6 so I went with it again. Other than the 3.0 leaking oil around the valve cover gaskets it seems to be the engine of choice for me vs Dodge. I read alot about transmission problems, Ill let ya know if I have any. None so far on the 89. Remember! The Caravans may lose value but that helps us used car buyers. Godd handling on this van.

  No problems so far... - 2000 Dodge Caravan
  By Mountaineers - December 5 - 2:00 am

  We purchased the Sport edition due to the curvy mountainous roads we have to travel, and have found the handeling to be very good for a vehcile that weighs two tons. In almost four years, the only time weve been back to the dealer was due to a loose connection at the transmission fluid cooler. They did acknowledge that it was fairly common to have to tighten those. No engine or transmission problems, and no complaints. We have taken the van on the 2,000 mile round trip between home and Florida several times without incident, but the seats are not all that comfortable after 10 or 12 hours.
