Buying the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew Plus

No 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew Plus is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew Plus for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Grand Caravan

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 414 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and structure; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Its 3.6L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Fuel use is rated 11.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 35 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $18.29, and a 300 km weekend about $54.87. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.

Good uses for the Grand Caravan

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Grand Caravan tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
