The curse of the Dodge Caravan is over.

We have owned a 2000 Dodge Caravan minivan for about 10 months.  Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.  OK, we paid $6,000.00 for it.  It immediately needed about $1,000.00 in repairs.  Since those initial repairs, we have had a variety of problems that I won't get into now.  This Dodge was suppose to last us 2 years while we saved for something better.  It lasted 10 stinking months.  Now it was making a clicking sound.  I had had enough of this blankety blank piece of blank!

This morning we took it to Carmax to see what they would pay for it.  We were expecting between at least $3,000 - $4,000.  They come back and say that they heard the clicking sound (damn it!) and they were offering $500.00.  Well, after laughing in their face, we became downtrodden and a bit depressed.  We had seen another van at a dealership that we might like, so out of desperation we stopped there.  

We liked the van a lot and told them, "it all depends on how much you give us for our trade in."  They ended up giving us around $3,000.00 for the trade in.  Suckers!  (Well, either they gave us that much or they took it off the price of the car we bought, probably the latter.)  Either way, we are free of that nightmare!  

We were hoping to get at least $3,500.00 for the trade in, but after the Carmax experience we were happy to take the $3,000.00.  At any rate, that piece of trash Dodge cost us about 5 grand in 10 months.  I will never buy a Dodge again.

We are hoping for much better luck with this van.  It is a 2006 Kia Sadona.  It only has 22,000 miles on it and it is pretty nice.  Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could be worse than that Dodge.
