Its a 50/50 deal!
Bought this at 110k; of course tranny went out at 121k. Fixed horn, water pump, fan blower motor, and A/C compressor is about to go out soon I think. If it weren't for that pesky tranny that most of us experience, it would be a lot better. Since I didn't buy this for a luxurious ride, it's basically a get around town van for large families. If you want a better ride, spend the cash and get a Sienna. You get what you pay for each month.
Great van
I bought my 98 van in 2005 with 70,000 on it for $5,000. I now have 150,000 on it and have had zero problems. I have changed oil regularly, maintained transmission, flushed radiator, etc. I get 26mpg hwy and 22 city. I use my van in my job so recently bought a 2007 Dodge Caravan with 30k on it because of the success with the Plymouth. Hate to part with my Plymouth but expect to get a minimum $2,500 for it. It has been a great vehicle for me.
Great van
I've owned my Voyager for 10 years. It has been by far my best car experience, and I've had a lot. It gets the kind of mileage you'd expect from a minivan. It is reliable and comfortable. I've had no major issues at 140,000K. The engine seems bulletproof to me. Normal oil, transmission, and tuneup work. It was and is a keeper. I must have gotten ahold of a good one.
Best vehical ever
This car is the greatest van ever to be assembeled.
It's still running and running well.
I've ridden in this thing since it was purchased. First, my grandmother drove it (no joke) on weekends to the grocery store. My family used it a bit more intensely as a hockey van for trips to and from hockey rinks around the county. Now I use it to haul college friends around, and I'm a bit of speed demon. This thing has been through hell and back. Lady backed out of her driveway and hit the right sliding door. Numerous flat tires, one bent rim, and a frantic drive from Tallahassee to West Palm at an average of about 90 MPH. Never had a major issue. Change brakes often, but as long as its maintained it keeps on going and going. Just passed 110K Miles.
hmm
well we bought one these 98 junks got it with 100k on it at 140 tranny went then starting getting electrical problems fuel gage and all lights flashing all the time. still have electric problems bought a third tranny sofar 15k miles on it still holding up with a bit of a glunk with applying brakes
Great for hauling things with the rear seat remove
Bought this knowing it needed repairs. Had only 95,000 miles on it and paid $1,500 just for the body style. Broken drivers window regulator, 2 fuel injectors, Engine covered in oil and dirt, steering rack leaking badly, wheels out of alignment, time for a timing belt replacement. Soon I found the thermostat was physically broken and radiator split open. Got a Haynes repair manual and fixed all that and did catch up on maintenance. While doing repairs myself I noticed signs of a bad mechanic working on the Van. I so far have put 10,000 miles a vehicle someone tried to kill! All car manufacturers change designs not to improve designs but make parts not interchangeable. The only benefit to consumers is theft of car parts is not practical.
- Performance
- Comfort
An Excellent vehicle EXCEPT
The Chrysler mini-van line is a pretty good one. Reasonably well styled, very reliable engine, comfortable, extremely practical, nice to drive and ride in, so it's almost all PROS BUT as good as they are the ONE bad feature is a BIG one:The Transmission! The Chrysler mini-van transmission is legendarily BAD! If you own one and have not had to replace the transmission at least a couple of times consider yourself lucky! Then again if you like everything else about the vehicle you can keep driving your beloved van for a few more years for the cost of a transmission. SHAME on Chrysler for letting this go on for so many years AND not offering ANY help when they fail.
Don't waste your time or money.
It's a lemon there transmission went out at 48000 miles A/C compressor at 50000. what a waste of money. They put together a family car and left my wife in the middle of the road, Thanks alot.
