Re: 2006 Dodge Caravan Sliding Door Locked [mmmbuzz]
Go to message 256 and follow the replies. The update 04-080-04 worked for my town and country. They also installed an additional update. I dont know what that number is. I originally had to argue with them because the update title is something about the gate. They did end up installing it and it worked like a charm. Haven't had any problems since. I found this fix online originally from a ... Read More

Re: I just bought a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT [justynthyme]
Regular maintenance is important, especially the transmission fluid. Use only Mopar fluid recommended in the service manual. In fact, I would only get the transmission serviced at a Chrysler dealer. Good luck with your vehicle.

Front brake pads have been done once and original rotors are still on the vehicle. Rear brakes are original. I can get up to 32 ... Read More

Re: 2006 Dodge Grand caravan just purchased [lstetz]
Should you be worried about the model? No, probably not; most folks have been getting hundreds of thousands of relatively trouble free miles out of Gen 4 vans like yours (our Gen 4 that we've owned since new is fast approaching 140,000 miles and so far at least, the only unscheduled maintenance item has been a front ABS wheel sensor for three hundred dollars and change).

No fancy navigation systems, no DVD player, and hand crank windows. The new Journey starts at ... Read More

Re: Leasing help on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan [romarriott]
Think of the cash allowance as a contribution to your down payment. Negotiate the price of the van first, and ignore any references to the allowance until you are done. The allowance comes from Chrysler not the dealer, and it shouldn't be considered part of the dealer's contribution to the negotiation.
-
Re: Leasing help on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan [romarriott]
You should be able to do much much better than 29500 on a sticker of 30,910. You're basically inviting them to stick it to you. Research the prices paid and negotiate much harder than you are. You should be around 26,500 inc. the rebate.

Re: 04 Nissan Quest or 06 Dodge Caravan [bobbylena]
We purchased a base 2006 Dodge Caravan in Sept. 2006 with the 4 cylinder engine. With 29,000+ miles, no problems to report. Acceleration is leisurely at best. However, with the size of your family I suggest you look at a 2006 or 2007 Grand Caravan. There are lots around for under $15,000 or $16,000 with low mileage. All come with either a 3.3 or 3.8 V6.

Although the Toyota is a good van, you're buying it right about the time that it will likely need its first major maintenance. At 117,000 km, it probably needs a new timing belt, tune up, and tires. If the vehicle has had the timing belt done and the tires are in good shape, then the Toyota is a good way to go. If you choose the Chrysler, see if it qualifies ... Read More

Re: 1% below invoice - good deal [manum]
Hi, I'm in Georgia. Around here we can purchase a 2007 Dodge Caravan SE for $13999. That's with a 4 cy engine and no power windows and cruise. They run the ad in the newspaper all the time. I test drove one of those but wanted a little more. But still that is a super price for a brand new van. They had two new 2006 fully loaded SXT caravans that ... Read More

Re: Four banger Caravans... [shipo]
I have a 2006 Dodge Caravan, 4 cylinder. It has about 10,000 miles on it. For my next oil change, I want to switch to synthetic. Is it OK to do so, with this mileage? Is Mobil 1 the only synthetic oil that I should use? Please advise. Thank you.

I am in the market for a new minivan. I like the Chrysler T/C and Dodge Caravan both 6 cy short wheel base. I found several 2006 models left on the lots. I'm trying to negotiate a price. What I want to know is, have any of you ever negotiated a successful 0% financing rate without giving up the rebates? I am going to try this. Last summer I was offered ... Read More

Re: Woot! 14,500 OTD in NC! [hansienna]
yeah, it was decent, but we didn't buy the car. Turns out Lake Norman Chysler really are just the scum of the earth. So I contacted them as stated earlier with a price from a dealer of 15,104. I included the price breakdown from that quote, and Lake Norman said they'd beat it, and quoted us 14,500 Out the door. THe last time we talked they'd offered us 800 for my ... Read More

Re: Which Minivan [d5a]
Have you also considered the Kia Sedona? You get all of your safety gear (Side Curtain airbags, etc) in the base LX model, which is being heavily discounted, to the best of my knowledge. If you're willing to go the used route, getting a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan with Stow N Go (and maybe 20K miles) will be an absolute bargain compared with getting a brand new Grand Caravan.

Re: MPV or 5 [d5a]
I don't know how much is being offered currently, but it should be easy to get a Grand Caravan/Town & Country new for VERY CHEAP (i mean WELL below invoice)in the coming days since a brand new model is expected in the near future. The used models are really a steal if you don't mind buying pre-owned. Click here to see some examples of what I mean. Things like this van ... Read More

Re: Spooked 1997 Dodge Caravan SE [scrawley]
If anyone has an explanation or easy fix please let me know. Our 2006 chry. van will go into door ajar / locks and interior lights flashing on and off while we are driving. Sometimes slamming the passenger side sliding door solves it but lately that seems not to be working. Dealer thought expensive diagnostics might locate problem.

We own a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE after owning a 2002 Chrysler T&C LX ( a fairly well equipped clone of the 2002 Grand Caravan Sport). My son traded in his FWD 2002 Grand Caravan Sport on a used 2006 Sienna LE a few months ago after replacing the transmission on his 2002 GC Sport.

Hi kfranci2.

Re: Dodge Caravan: Lease Questions [Car_man]
Hello Car-man (and anyone else who can help!). We are looking at a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravaan, MSRP of $31,500 (lots of nice toys on it). We would trade in our 2002 Chrsyler T&C (good condition, has a DVD). They are quoting us $429 per month for a 39 month lease with 18000 miles per year. Does this seem like a good deal? We live in Pittburgh Pa.

Re: Side Airbags safe for kids - Odyssey Sienna? [edgecomb]
I would definitely go for one with side airbags, if not side-curtain airbags. The Honda Odyssey, beginning with the 2002 model year, had standard side airbags but not the curtains. (one major reason I bought the 2002 versus the 2001) The curtain airbags were standard in all Odysseys starting with the redesigned 2005 models. The Sienna I am not so sure but I'm pretty sure that side curtain airbags were available ... Read More

Re: Repeat DaimlerChrysler owners [hansienna]

I just bought a 2006 Odyssey EXL RES and I LOVE it! I could never say that about my caravan. It was never in the running this time and probably never again!

The Madison Wisconsin Dodge dealer ALWAYS has an excellent inventory of Caravan and Grand Caravan and seems to make THE BEST deals of almost any dealer of any make. If I lived in Madison, I would have dumped my 2006 Sienna LE on a trade for a 2006 GC SXT.

Re: Leasing help on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan [brum]
Welcome brum. If you were to lease a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00116 and 43%, respectively. The money factor for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be the same, but the residual value would be 2% higher. When negotiating your lease on this ... Read More

Re: Leasing help on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan [brum]
well, I bought a 06 DGC SXT, but I did pay attention to leasing option, too. During memorial day, I saw one of my local dealer has a leasing offer like $249 a month for 27 month with zero down. I think that is a pretty good offer. $364 for 39 months? definitely too high!

Re: Minivans and side curtain airbags [tpa2]
Do those prices seem high? Those prices are MSRP...which is the asking price. Knock 2 or 3 thousand off MSRP and you will be close to invoice price...what a good negotiator tries to get a vehicle for. How are your negotiation skills? You should be able to get a new 2006 Kia LX for around $22,000. No help on the Kia Sedona Prices Paid board for LX's. I think a new ... Read More
