Before you sign for the Caravan

Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Living with the Caravan
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Try before you buy
Try the Caravan on your commute, then decide. Drive the Caravan on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ready when you are
