How am I supposed to resist this? My wife has put her foot down but jeez, look at this thing...56K original miles, impeccably maintained:

And it even still has the hood ornament! One of my friends found a 45k mile 1992 Grand Voyager LE listed on craigslist up in Ohio. It was really nice but the hood ornament was gone.

Here's the link to the vehicle's sales info, if anyone is interested (I have nothing to do with this car, beyond wanting it in the worst way):

Tempting...very tempting...only think keeping me away is the 3.0L engine...and the lack of $4200.

Tempting...very tempting...only think keeping me away is the 3.0L engine...and the lack of $4200.

I'm not sure it has the 3.0L...looking at the picture of the instrumentation, it appears to have the shift quadrant of the 4-speed ATX (the circled "D"). The 3.0L could be had with this tranny, but so could the 3.3L...

On edit: DUH! I just checked the Carfax report and this Caravan does indeed have the 3.0L. That would actually be OK with me; I generally had good luck with this engine in the two minivans and Dodge Spirit I used to own.

I'm also lacking the $4200.

Here's a link to the 1992 Grand Voyager with 45k miles:

It does have handicapped mods.

That's a pretty Voyager. Always liked those wheelcovers.

3.0L is a killer. In 2005 I found a 94 GC 3.3L with 52K miles on eBay for $4100. Bought it---still have it---now has 92K miles. I would cry bitter tears if anything happened to it. BIL has an 02 GC. Wouldn't trade him even.

Second gen. Chrysler vans are the best vans Chrysler ever made IMHO. A "K" car on steroids, easy to maintain compared to the later models with plenty of cheap replacement parts available.

If only it didn't have that *#@%!^% 3.0L POS engine! Just my $0.02.

I agree, FredB...the second gen minivans were great! I really liked our '94 Grand Voyager. The thing felt like a rocket, with its low curb weight and torquey 3.3L engine.

I liked the SWB models of the 3rd generation, too.

I must be living a charmed life or sump'n' because the only issue I ever had with the 3.0L engine was a leaky cam cover gasket on my '94 Spirit. Never had one of the oil burners; even our '89 Grand Caravan never smoked.

On edit: That '94 pictured above is breaking my heart. I'm a real geek when it comes to Mopar minivans. I even have all the old brochures for the 1984-2007 models, and I still look at them. Dang, I'd like to have that ol' Caravan...but my wife won't budge.

Where are you guys getting $4200, I'm seeing $3900. Maybe he lowered it and is looking to deal. Its a beauty for sure!

Very nice van, I had forgotten how nice the 2gen vans are.

 

[Stephen]

Great find! I'd get it, since my Saris four-bike roof rack would fit. I'm worried that anything I find to replace my current '95 will require additional expenditure for such a rack.

 

[Ray Green]

I can't beef about our '96 3.0L. Bought it with 96k and it has over 250k now. Other than routine maintenance, all I've done is valve seals, the water tubes, radiator, and a water pump simply because I was in there doing the timing belt and crank seal. Oh, one starter, one fuel pump, no alternators yet.

According to this link '94 was a very good year.

I have the Mi 3.0 in my '88, OH it at 196K and then only because of a blown front seal, not too shabby.

Whoops!!

I just thought the same....
