Thinking of buying the 1992 Dodge Caravan?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1992 Dodge Caravan for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 1992 Dodge Caravan, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the Caravan

There are 9 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 917 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, seat belts and power train; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

What the Caravan is like

As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.53 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

A good match for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Try before you buy

A test week in the Caravan tells you more than any review. Try the Caravan on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Caravan answers the big questions.

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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Still deciding?

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1992 Dodge Caravan from us first.
