1989 Dodge Grand Caravan LE review from North America
"Good Job Dodge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the radiator shortly after I bought the Grand Caravan.
General comments?
For a minivan that was built in 1989, I did not expect it to have so much luxury. The Grand Caravan was equipped with power front windows and power very rear windows which were controlled from switches on the roof console. It also had power rear view mirrors and the drivers seat was power. It had a dual A/C and the tape and radio worked great. It had great sound and a display in the roof that provided the temperature as well as 4 reading lamps. It was a neat and very comfortable van. I was very surprised and happy with its strength and luxury. I would definitely buy another Dodge and currently own a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan. I purchased my 1989 for $1000 dollars and I did not expect so much comfort and reliability. It was a very good vehicle on three 1000 mile trips and it also got me to and from work every day. I made a HUGE mistake of selling my minivan when I thought I did not need it anymore. I put about 35000 miles on it and sold it in 2003 for more than I had originally bought it for.
