#9 of 18 Re: 8+ passenger vans [garandman] by cpsdarren Dec 07, 2006 (6:03 pm)
Replying to: garandman (Dec 06, 2006 6:59 am) Thumbs up for the Sprinter's standard 3-point seatbelts and head restraints in all seating positions in the passenger models plus stability control standard on some trims since its inception. So, even a used Sprinter has some class-leading occupant safety features.   I'd be wary of an Express 1500 for a family without the ESC option available in the last few years. The high rollover risk and tip in the government test will be made worse by a full load of passengers
#10 of 18 Is this a good deal or not on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 68000 mi? by charles23 Jan 08, 2007 (6:20 pm)
They will take our 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager that is currently running fine for a trade in of $1500.00. According to Kelley Blue Book it's worth $2,650.00 as a trade in. They'll sell us the new to us 2002 for $9890 minus a trade in of $1500.00 and with tax, tags, fees the grand total is $9,086.00. We started out with the price of the van as $10,999.   This includes an "AS IS" purchase w/ 1 month, 1000 mile warranty w/ a 50/50 payment if something happens in this time frame. If we want to buy a warranty it'll be 3/36,000 for $1595.00 and covers many different things.   Would you purchase this or not?   Thanks!

#12 of 18 Sprinter Engines and Transmission by minicoopers Jul 19, 2007 (8:16 am)
Does anyone know which vehicles, if any, use the same V-6 diesel, V-6 gas, and transmission as the Sprinter? Would like a true 5-speed stick to be available with these little motors.   MINI

Replying to: charles23 (Jan 08, 2007 6:20 pm) No. You've already got a used van so I don't see why you need another one. With all the rebates going on perhaps you should buy new?

Replying to: charles23 (Jan 08, 2007 6:20 pm) I agree with minicoopers....You currently own a used van, your van runs well and you know it. WHY trade a van you know for a "pig in a poke"?   Once any vehicle gets 6 years old, there may be as many problems on it as one that is 20 years old.
