Hello I am looking to buy a used 2005-2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SE/SXT. I need a little advice as to what I should be looking for or asking about when I find one I like. I dont mean your average kick the tires kind of things but at the same time I am not mechanically inclined. I am looking for owners or previous owners who know the ins and outs of what are the good and bad of this particular van. Something like "hey check under here cause they are known to rust out" ect.

Please and Thank you

 

I will be looking for low mileage but am wondering what is considered high mileage for these vans? Is there a breaking point where stuff like tranny brakes engine just happen to crap the bed commonly???

 

Would you recommend any year over the other 05-07?

 

Welcome to DF
Almost any of the RS bodys are good. 2001 to 2007.

 

Ok so the body generally speaking holds up well. Is that even for high mileage? No notorious rust spots or common rips tears breaks? How bout engine tranny and other goodies?

 

These vans just like any other vans, they will always have problems. The engine and transmission have been holding pretty good on the 2001 to 2007 vans. No rust problem like we had on the 1996 to 2000 vans.

 

Thank you that helps some...I have a list of 28 vans I am trying to bring down to a short list so anything would help at this point...

 

Took my list down to 12 so thats good...Hope to pick one up in the next few weeks
