I think I know the answer to this question based on your previous post, but I'll ask anyway. When are the Town & Countries scheduled to begin production? I assume that the Windsor and St. Louis plants build all of the Chrysler minivans. I ask because my wife's lease on her '97 T&C runs out in early September. We were planning on leasing a 2001 in the fall when the new models are typically introduced. We might have to change those plans if the wait will be much longer than that (unless I can extend the lease on a month-to-month basis). dwg |

Depends on which model you're going after - the Limited will be delayed production (possibly into September); the LX & LXi go into production next week, along with all the Grand Caravan variations. You're correct about the plants - Windsor and St. Louis split the vans, with St. Louis handling the short wheelbase models. |

Thanks for the info. dwg |

| HAS ANYONE SEEN PRICE CODES FOR THE 2001 CARAVAN? MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THAT HE WILL SELL ME ONE FOR $3OO OVER DEALER INVOICE. WHAT I WANT IS A 2001 GRAND CARAVAN ES W/ THE 3.8L AUTOSTICK, INFERNO RED TINTED PEARL COAT, POWER LIFTGATE, SECURITY SYSTEM, AND TOW PACKAGE. HE QUOTED ME $30,000 EVEN FOR THIS. I WASN'T AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN HE MADE THE QUOTE, SO I DIDN'T SEE HIS CODES TO KNOW WHETHER THIS IS $300 OVER INVOICE. | |

Anyone have any info on the timing of the 2001 T&C LMT with all-wheel drive. I called 5 different dealers in my area and got answers ranging from end of september to mid-october to november. My old car is on its last legs and I hate to put more money into it while I wait... Any info would be appreciated. Kelly |

I just happened to stop into a Chrysler dealer today to inquire about the T & C, and interrupted the sales manager as he was making out his first orders for these vans. He genuinely seemed to know not much, but I inferred that the timing depends on how you intend to buy - order or from dealer stock. If you are ordering now (and by now, I mean the next day or two), there's some possibility you can have the car shortly after Labor Day. Waiting for dealer stock will take longer, and the end of September seems about right. The model you buy has some bearing on this as well, since I believe the AWDs will trail the others by several weeks. Initial production concentrates on models that will form the bulk of a dealer's sales, and since the AWD had a production run of about 5% of the total in 2000, they naturally have a lower priority. As far as price goes, the delaers are just making educated guesses at this point. In the example above (very good choices, by he way!) $300 over invoice seems about right (that's what I intend to shoot for myself), but I suspect the $30,000 figure may be $200.00 to $300.00 too high. Good luck to all the DC prospects, and I hope I've been of some help! |

In case you haven't seen it, check out dodge's site for the movie presentation of the new caravan and specs. Too bad the 3.4 ltr is not available. Does anyone have an idea when it might be? |

| We know the Limited for 2001 will be available with the more powerful 3.5L from the 300M.Does anyone know when that option will be put into production? | |

Just saw in the 2001 Caravan website that the 2001 Dodge Caravan will offer three different types of engine. The 3.0L, 3.3L, and 3.8L V6 engine are all magnum engines that gives extra power and performance. There will be only three trim levels available in the 2001 Dodge Caravan. SE, Sport, and ES are the only three trim levels starting in under $20,000 through under $35,000. All of these are final answer on the info about the 2001 Dodge Caravan. |

...I think Walter has misread something on the site - the 3.0L has been dropped for 2001. The three available engines are the 2.4L Four (on the SWB only), the 3.3L, and the 3.8L V-6s. There's still hope for the 3.5L in the Grand Caravan, but it'll be at least mid-model year at the earliest til it's available. And that's my final answer! |
