1993 Dodge Grand Caravan SE review from North America

Bearings had to be replaced at 140,000 miles with more used bearings.

At 150,000 miles the sway bar was replaced with another used sway bar

Well, I guess it all depends when you buy the car. I own a 1993 Grand Caravan, the previous owner put around $4,000 on it (that includes an $1500 transmission repair) so I guess he was tired of putting money on it and sold it to me, but for me, I've never owned a vehicle so reliable. In all those years, I haven't put a cent on the motor or transmission, the 3.3 is very reliable, so at 150,000 miles, it runs very well, takes no oil, starts every time, and runs like new.

The only downside I had on that vehicle is the back hubs are not very solid. I reinforced the back suspension by adding 2 extras blades on each side, the back was seriously jacked up and handled like a sports car, but broke both hubs in under a year, so I had to pay a mechanic to remove one blade on each side, so no one should try such a thing, the hubs are not tough.

I have at least two other vehicles in my yard for parts, so reliability is not a concern, however, I had very few problems with it.

I put 2 transmission coolers, just to make sure, and went on long trips with a 1200 pounds trailer through mountains, no problems whatsoever. So maybe the solution is to buy such a vehicle when the previous owner did all the repairs?

I don't know, for one thing, I wouldn't have liked to be in the place of the previous owner, seeing the bills, I almost fainted! Before buying that one,

I went to see a 4x4 Grand Caravan, he showed $5,000 worth of bills! For me, it is a bargain owning such a vehicle!
