Caravan of Deep Molten Red Pearl

2003 Dodge Caravan
Property of DTMAce. Added Nov 2009.

2003 Dodge Caravan from Canada. Bought for 700 Canadian at the end of November 09. Update as of 12/21/09. Since changing the oil over to synthetic and the air filter replaced, the MPG has gone drastically up. Have also taken to the dealer for a recall on the PS, and so far have fixed many small problems. Next on the list are the end links for the front swaybar, then clean the engine. Transmission fluid and Coolant needs changed yet. Fix a dent in the rear bumper and replace the missing hubcap. Thing will look a lot nicer soon.
