Exterior:
The 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport was built to transport families in style. The sleek and smooth lines give a fluid appearance and profile to this minivan. The Inferno Red color is not too Flashy, yet looks very nice with the complimenting black accents including Roof Rack, side view mirrors, front grill and privacy glass.
One of the nice things about this Caravan is that there are 2 side sliding doors. The passenger side door is powered with remote key fob. This allows for easy access and no unnecessary trips all around the vehicle. Kids can get in from both sides or you can load the cargo from either side. There are body matching side moldings to enhance the fluid look of this Minivan.
The rear of this 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan is rounded at the top to give some luxury appeal to it. There is a rear window wiper, washer, and defrost as well as a center mounted brake light. The bumper is painted to match the body color and has a slip proof black grip surface on top. The rear hatch opens in one piece making loading and unloading much easier because you can stand right next to the van without reaching over or around. This too has the remote feature on the keyfob.
The front of this Grand Caravan is nice looking driving down the road. The bumper is painted to match the body of the van. You will also notice that like most minivans the windshield is very large. This helps so much with visibility, especially when driving with precious cargo. The grill is special egg crate design in black. The trim is painted to match the body and the Iconic Dodge Symbol is in the middle. The lower bumper panel is nicely designed as well. Here you will notice some minor road rash on the very bottom of the bumper and grill. Typical of this age and mileage. You also get a front license plate bracket here for the states that require it. There are fog lights here as well.
This 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan is riding on nice Alloy wheels. The tires just passed VA State Safety Inspection, however we were told the front tires will need to be replaced for next years inspection. The tires are size 215/65/R16 on the front and rear.
Overall, the exterior of this minivan is Above Average Condition. I say this because of the road rash on the front and the scrath on the passenger side. Otherwise, you will see very few and minor normal dings and wear. There is also a very minor small scratch/dent on the passenger door. I also noticed the paint on the back of the Driver side sliding door handle has been scratched. Just looking at the minivan it looks very nice. These few imperfections we could have fixed, however that means a higher price tag. In today’s economy we realize that a few cosmetic imperfections mean a lot less than hundreds of Dollars.
Interior:
The Interior of this 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport has all the things you need for a nice ride. The upholstery is tan Sport Cloth and coordinating tan carpet and dash. This neutral color is great for concealing spills or stains and it just looks nice. The front chairs are captain style with adjustable armrests, head restraints and shoulder belts. They are both multi point adjustable. You get a Driver side power seat here.
The Driver’s seat has access to all of the amenities that are loaded onto this van. There are power windows (including rear side vents), door locks, and mirrors. The steering wheel conveniently houses the cruise controls and the gauge panel has all the standard gauges and warning lights (none of which are on). The gauges have white backings for a nice sporty appeal. And the odometer and trip meter are digital.
Each of the front doors are trimmed with a tan leatherette and have large cubby holes for storage.
The center dash has lots of stuff right at your fingertips. //The audio system is a Factory stock AM FM Tuner with CD. There are bass, treble, etc controls as well. The climate control has dual temperature controls for the driver and passenger. And there is also a fan control for the Rear passengers. There are also rear window wiper, washer and defrost buttons here on the center dash.
Below the audio and climate controls are storage areas. There is small cubby and lower down a much larger one with a change holder. You will find pull out cup holders with an ashtray. To the left of these there are 2 power outlets. This is especially convenient for extra cell phone chargers.
Over head there is a Digital compass and Temperature module. There is also more fold down storage here as well. You also get the convenience of an on board computer with information such as distance till empty, trip time, average mpg and economy mpg, etc. Up here there homelink buttons. Both passenger and driver have lighted vanity mirrors. There is also a lighted glove box with the owner‘s manual.
The second seat of seating offers a ton of Features. There are 2 captain style chairs here which are multipoint adjustable. They each have adjustable headrests and seatbelts and armrest. Next to the Driver side chair is an additional power outlet. One cool thing is that each of these seats are removeable to tailor your cargo space. And when you fold down the back of the seat there are cupholders here. There are entry handles located on the back of both front seats Above you will find the rear passenger climate control. There is a fan and a temperature control knob. For easy exit, there are sliding doors on both sides of this minivan. You will also find that this 2nd row has air vents and clothes hooks for convenience. Wow, this van is packed with amenities.
The 3rd row seats 3 people and is bench style. This bench has a 50/50 split. Each side is also fold able and removable like the second row. There are two built in cup holders on both sides for a total for 4. And there are also covered storage compartments on either side of this 3rd row. This bench seat has 2 adjustable headrests. The rear windows have the venting feature, so you can open them up a few inches to let the fresh air in.
The very back cargo area is carpeted and the cargo tie hooks are on the back of the 3rd seat. The jack storage is back here as well. Even with all rows of seating in place there is still plenty of room for all your belongings, If you have more than this space allows, there is always the roof rack on top.
Overall, the condition of this interior is what I would consider Good. There are some stains on the carpet between the 1st and 2nd row and some wear can be noticed. However, for the years and miles, it looks pretty good.
Under the Hood:
This 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan has a 3.8 L V6 engine. The V6 saves on gas yet has enough power to do anything you want or need. The tires just passed state inspection so they have tread left, however as stated before, we were told the front tires will need to be replaced in order to pass inspection next year. Normally, we would go ahead and do this, but in todays economy we realize the value of saving money. The Engine sounds and runs as it should and the transmission shifts smoothly. This minivan should have no trouble on any reasonable drive home.
Driving Impressions:
Driving this minivan is very nice. I am not much of a minivan person, but I actually enjoy this one. There are so many features that make it practical and convenient. From the remote sliding door and rear hatch to the customizable 2nd and 3rd row seating. I would have no problem selling this van to anyone I know or am related to.

Why Buy from a Dealer?
1. Price! We are an Independent Dealership! With love overhead and high volume, our cars are priced less than most private sellers and normally only a few hundred dollars over our cost. We can provide quality cars at a low cost. Look at Wal-Mart, high volume companies save you money.
2. In VA, all of our running vehicles have to be State Safety Inspected. Virginia has one of the most strict inspection processes. An independent shop inspects such components as Lights, Suspension, Brakes, Tires, Windshield, and More! We usually plan on spending at least $600 per car to get them to pass state inspection. So, you have piece of mind that this inspection has been done recently.
3. As a dealer, you never have to wait to legally drive and register your car. Even if there is a bank payoff or title, we can facilitate an easy exchange and provide any necessary temporary tags and accompanying paperwork so you can drive away at the time of pick up. (Please note, not all cars qualify for temporary tags if we have the original title at time of transfer.
4. Safety! As a business, you have the added security and confidence that your safety is maintained at the time of pick up. No driving up to a stranger's house, our transactions take place at a licensed dealership.
5. Information available about each car we sell! We are professionals with years of experience. We are not dumping any unwanted junk out of our back yard on ebay. We spend hours taking detailed photos, including specific information about each car, and adding our own impressions of how a car performs. We do not have emotional attachments to these cars and try to be as honest as possible about the overall condition.
6. On, ebay you have the confidence that you are shopping with a state licensed, bonded and insured company. We cannot scam and run ebay frauds the way private sellers could. Plus, look at our years ebay history.
We want to talk about a couple of items. We are Wholesale Dealers. We buy our cars Directly from New Car Dealers and Not Auctions. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that we sell quality cars. When they are traded in, someone at the new car dealer drives the car. When we buy the car, someone from our dealership drives the car. If a car has a problem we either fix it or disclose it. We have no intention or knowledge of ever selling a car with a problem. However, all cars break. I wish I could, but I cannot predict when a car will break. We do our best to represent the vehicle fairly, however, we are human and do make mistakes. Any minor imperfections consistent with age are not reasons for refusal of delivery/pick up or negotiation. We sell cars As Is, and cannot warranty any vehicles we sell so please take careful consideration when bidding on or buying now these cars.
Whenever we sell a car on ebay, we always seem to be asked how we think the car would function on a long drive home from pick up. While I cannot offer any warranty or guarantee I have no reason to believe this Dodge Minivan would not make any drive home.
We are wholesale dealers, please do not ask us to arrange, or compensate for delivery, shipping, transportation, or other related expenses. Please note that we reserve the right to cancel bids from zero or negative history bidders. If you have no or negative history, you Must contact us prior to bidding. All of our auctions recommend, and we encourage, Local Purchase Pick Up!
