Used Dodge Caravan for Sale near Anchorage, AK
Dodge Caravan Overview
Back in 1977, when Chrysler first began development on their "magic wagon," little did they know that not only would they conjure up a whole new vehicle category (later called minivans), but also a whole new population category as well -- soccer moms.
Released in 1984, the Dodge Caravan is considered the first minivan, a family car which offered front wheel drive, easy access, elevated seats, and plenty of cargo space. It revolutionized the suburban driving experience forever, creating a much easier way to load and unload both kids and groceries.
Over its lifespan, it has gone through upgrades in engine size, redesign, and creature comforts (the original had only 2 cupholders, and today's offers up to 14!), but remains a safe and dependable choice. It is the top-selling minivan in the world, having sold 11 million by mid-2005 and is consistently voted one of the best cars by several automotive magazines. A sample from the original generation of Caravans, the 1986 Caravan, was recently acquired by the Smithsonian.

My caravan has266256 miles the 3.8 engine is to powerful for the transmission so be nice to it or you will have to have it rebuilt and it will still burn rubber if you want it to. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Take care of the little problems that pop up and it will run over 300,000 wish I could show you a picture.
Lots of space for hauling, kids, gear, dogs and stuff from the hardware store. Very comfortable ride. As a family battling cancer this is the preferred vehicle for trips to the hopsital due to the ease getting in and out and the comfort of the ride.
I have owned a Dodge Caravan for the last six years. Never had a minutes trouble out of it. Great vehicle. Very strong engine. It has a lot space, plenty of room for family and friends. Would recommend to anyone that wants a reliable vehicle.
Family van with kids has made some long trips,and lots of short hops.Never had any major repairs just maintenence.
In all honesty, I can't say anything bad about this vehicle. Wonderful to drive. Great safe visibility both being seen and seeing out and around it. Can tow our little boat and haul around larger items we need to move. Great mini van!
