Thinking of buying the 2002 Dodge Caravan?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Dodge Caravan for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2002 Dodge Caravan, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Caravan tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Caravan answers the big questions. A week with the Caravan answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
