Used Dodge passenger vans for sale near East Dubuque, IL

Andrew was honest and explained each concern, running possible actions by me before doing any work. Kudos to professionalism.

I bought my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan used in 2017. I’ve got 130,000 miles on it now and I’m still overall very pleased. This is my 4th Dodge/Chrysler minivan in the last 20+ years. I am kind of tired of driving a minivan but don’t know if I could give them up! This van has so many pros and very few cons. First, price is lower than other makes of minivans. Front and middle rows very comfortable on long trips. Good visibility from front and middle rows. I love that it has 2 separate glove boxes. Tons of cup holders! Adequate cargo area behind 3rd row seats. The stow and go feature is awesome. With second and third row seats folded down and hidden underneath the floor, you’ve got a huge open space to haul stuff. Almost like having a pickup truck except no one asks you to borrow it to move! Lol. It’s easy to get in and out of even if you have mobility problems. Drives and handles well. I don’t think we’ve ever had it in the shop. Never broken down on us. I’ve had this van since 2017 and no problems EVER until this summer. The radio quit working. We replaced it, and after a few weeks, the second one quit. Going to have it looked at soon. Also, the wipers have always worked poorly. Even after replacing them a few times with premium wipers, they still seem to “drag”, and are kind of “bumpy” is the only way I can describe it. My husband has to warn me before he turns them on, because they are so loud at first that they startle me very badly. Very irritating. When there’s a heavy rain they work fairly quietly and smoothly.

We took our RAM truck in for an oil change and tire rotation and checkup. They were friendly and very up front with the amount of time to finish this work. The waiting area was clean and the coffee/hot chocolate were awesome. Nice place to get work done on our RAM!

This vehicle is fully-equipped from the factory, with power windows, locks, mirrors, and driver's seat, cd/cassette/am/fm, as well as the 360ci (5.9l) Magnum V8. The interior is functional and easy to use, though middling on material quality. Although some might lambaste the use of exposed screws in the assembly, I regard it as an advantage; it makes it much easier to tighten up door panels to eliminate squeaks and rattles, of which this van has none. Room is excellent, with all three rows having ample room to spread out, and with plenty of room for cargo as well. The exceptions here are the folks in front, who are short-changed by the wheel wells and the engine cover that leave precious little foot room for the driver, and even less for the passenger. The ride is quite simply fantastic. Although you sit practically on top of the front wheels which gives a curious sensation, road imperfections are gloriously handled. But, the soft suspension and tall design give it a top-heavy feel. Sheer lateral grip is surprisingly good, but it's obviously not a vehicle to be hustled around. Also, I found the power steering setup to be the worst of both worlds. The steering is relatively stiff, yet still slow and provides little feedback; either lighten it to suit the slow ratio, or to quicken the ratio up and give it more feedback. I am planning on adding a brody knob for parking lot manervering, which is poor at best. With a 52-ft turning circle, you will not be jockeying this vehicle for position. Speaking of hustling, the Magnum V8 delivers 245hp and 335lb-ft of torque, and allows you to roast the tires at will, even running the air conditioning. However, its great weight counts against it, and with 3.55:1 gears it's a little sluggish, though reasonably quick for a vehicle its size. 3.92:1 gears would be a recommended modification. Gas mileage has been 14.03mpg, with 50/50 city/highway driving, judicious use of cruise control, and lots of a/c use. Its size is formidable. It is somewhat intimidating on the road, and other drivers tend to give it its due respect. The seating height is higher even than most SUV's, for those who appreciate sitting high. It does not maneuver very well, but on the freeway is at least as adept as anything else. But, with the hood invisible from the outside, judging parking is not always easy and I have not learned it yet.

Quick communication. They were able to get me the information I asked for and worked with me to secure the vehicle I wanted. At the dealership, it was quick and the staff was very friendly.

I bought the Crew trim. It is very comfortable inside and from out side it has a sporty look. Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey look kind of bulky. I suppose those who complain about Dodge Grand Caravan are looking at the base model which, yes, is not good from inside and it has not changed since I believe 2011. They should at least add a centre console. (I am sure you will increase your fans). But the upper models (SXT and up) are really good.

Great communication with sales staff prior to my visit. I was greeted by staff when I arrived for my appointment. The salesman arranged a test drive and although the vehicle was nice, it just didn't have all the features I wanted. The staff really wanted my business and even dropped the price a great deal, but I wasn't ready to accept a car that didn't have what I wanted. I would recommend this dealership. They understood my reasons for not purchasing and followed up with emails afterwards.

I do have a problem with the hood,because I have rust on the edges .I don't think I should have to worry about rust on the xxxx hood.
