A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 I bought a clunker

Woohoo I made arrangements to buy a van on Monday. It's only costing 350.00 for the car it's an old 1991 dodge caravan. Hopefully it will pass emmissions and safety inspections without having to do to much work on it but I just need something so the next time I need to go to the hospital I can get there. Last time was a nightmare.

Cross your fingers for me all.

WHEELS!!!! oh I got all my crossables crossed for you!!!

Thank you Fernie,

I'm feeling more confident by the minute.

HOOPER! That is great!

ooooh - what color is it?
does it have a name yet?

It's a combination of burgandy and rust lol. That will be the first thing I do. Take the rust off and prime it so it doesn't get auto leprocsy lol.

Tammy,

So excited for you and the new wheels! I hope that it is going to run and not require too much work for you. What FUN!

WooHoo...just think of all the good stuff you will be able drag home with wheels...LOL Hope it all works out good for you!!!!

TK...I had a Caravan that I literally drove forever....I can't even remember how many years I drove that thing..it had a million miles on it. When I finally HAD to get rid of it (it would only go in reverse)...I traded it in on another Caravan...I love them! this one I have had for 7 years now...it has over 156,000 miles on it..I have just had to do maintenece care on it...So...maybe the one you are getting is a Gem like mine have been! I am proud you are getting some wheels...good for you!!!

Congrats, TK!
Those Dodge vans take a lickin', so you've probably got a good one.

Tammy hope you get this van they are great vans when in working state. Last Dodge I had was an 85 pu drove over a million mile transmission went out instead of buying a new one I bought a ranger which was good now I am on my second ranger love them but not like my dodge(shirley) that pu had personality. hope it is in good shape and you enjoy the devil out of it.

tk, i've had two caravans, loved them both, wish i still had the last one, but it was totaled in a wreck... good luck!!!

Cool Tk....now think of all the great dumpster diving finds you can get on trash day ...you have to keep up the van battery somehow!!!

So Tammy tell us, today's Monday--did you get the van????

Yes.....inquiring minds wanna know!!

Congratulations, Tammy! Hope that it runs forever for you...

No I didn't get the van. With my roommate acting up I don't feel I can obligate myself to the insurance payments. They would be impossible at the moment to make without the extra income so I'm just going to continue to do without.

Sorry about that Tammy. Is the roomy on his way out then?
