anyone for a minivan ?
my 99 short wheelbase caravan cost me $400 with a bad transaxle. the transaxle cost me $100 [with a 2001 caravan wrapped around it]
both had 140k on their clocks. after transaxle swap, i added new wheel bearings and brakes on all four wheels, plus another couple of trinkety things, and so far, it has been almost 40k of super reliable miles.
gas mileage is around 26, city or interstate, doesn't seem to matter.
plus, it will haul almost anything a pickup will !
