Wow what a luxury compared to the '96 voyager our neighbors used to have

+Jay Smart I can't believe someone scrapped this. My family used to have a 2000 dodge Caravan with a Mitsubishi V6. It was reliable as heck till a deer crushed the front end. Funny thing is it still ran.

It might just be me? Every car I ever owned that was previously owned by a smoker had the issue with the ceiling falling down. I’m a never smoker & own a 26 year old Suburban & and 18 year old Avalanche. I had a 1978 Caprice that was a never smoker & all their ceilings were or are intact. I noticed this model has a cig lighter in the dash where power outlet is. I suspect that was a smoker’s car? I suspect the owner was giving it away because the car was nickel & dimming them. They couldn’t be bothered with selling it. Then you have to deal with people. I would have kept it though. Which leads me to believe they were a bit more wealthy than me. I drive my cars litterly until the wheels fall off. Why get rid of something when all they did was replace items that are purely maintenance items. It would have to be the engine threw a rod or the frame rotted out? I was forced to get rid of a car because it was leaking fluids. Yep! I was told I couldn’t park it at work anymore because every week they had to perform an environmental clean up where it parked 😂. I drove it on errands outside of work but then it was ruining my driveway. I loved that car.

And so even though I'm 14 my little mind decided to go ahead and email my closest junk yard just to see if there's anything I can do to ear money :/ Stupid idea? Of course it is. So yea. And watching your videos of a place like that helps cheer me up.

Why I hate stupid people. I believe in driving a car into the ground. If one major repair exceeds the cars value then it may be time to let go. The other thing in my area is if it is rusted badly enough it is time to go.

just picked up a 1999 t&C LXI for 300, Great van, restoring it because the 96-2000 is in my opinion the best generation in terms of build quality and uses metal parts that were all replaced with cheap plastic S#!t from 2001 onwards

Fun fact: In 2001 Chrysler upgraded to a deluxe plastic intake beefed the cam and compression. About 30-40 hp!

What the hell is a classic like this doing in a junkyard? Somebody needs to fix this baby up!

I suspect cars like this get scrapped after the owner dies and the family doesn't want to deal with the car anymore, or the various problems it has. This would seem to be particularly true for the high-end American cars that only old people buy anymore.

Since most of the parts are still new, I am betting the previous owner likely took care of the vehicle well not exterior wise, but mechanical wise. The kids or grandkids were likely not into the styling of the older minivan from early 2000s as many of them prefer trucks or suvs, so this poor vehicle got scrapped.

I just bought a 4th generation grand caravan awd for $400. Lol. Rust free socal. Needs some work, but was suppose to be dead, runs fine

As a detailer, seeing dirty cars drives me crazy lol. Also I have OCD.

i cant believe someone junked this. the owner could've sold it for $800-$1000. someone in need could definitely use a cheap car

We had a 2001 Grand Caravan. Parents bought it new and only kept it till about 70k miles, the engine and trans held up but the rest of the thing just seemed to fall apart. Replaced with a 2008 Honda Pilot that was leagues ahead in build quality.

Why would someone spend money fixing it up only to scrap it? We scrapped our 1997 Dodge Caravan because we where having problems with it - A/C not work, could't get if fix, transmission slipping (previously replaced it) and sometimes overheat.

Where is your yard? Is that New Beetle in the back good?

That van was not bad

Lol over here in Ontario Canada that would have had leather seats a 3.8 all Town and country was never low over here and even the sport model had 3.8 Dodge Grand Caravan old the low bass would have the 3.3

What did you get for it?

my family had this exact same car but it was silver but unlike this one the air conditioning was out in the first few years same as the Plymouth minivan we had did the same thing but that van damn good condition

I'll lay odds that the owner junked it because some dodgy garage somewhere told them it was going to cost a fortune to fix the soggy brakes when all it really is is a master cylinder with tired seals or maybe a few iffy brake lines. Sure, the master cylinder is probably a pain in the ass to get to on a vehicle like that, it's probably buried up under the scuttle, but I doubt if the part itself is expensive and it shouldn't take hours and hours to change and bleed the brakes...

Its weird thou. Around here the average car is over 10 years old and over 200k. People hang onto stuff for as long as possible. In all honesty this is low miles for a van in our junkyard. Normally these caravans and such come in with blown engines or slipping transmission at 300k+

I wish I could pick up that can it would be worth 500.00 to me I already own a 1999 Town and Country Limited with everything it has 176,000 miles on it

Did you sell this town and country out front please tell me you did 😰

clean that rust off with a grinder and apply new paint on it and it should be perfect. or maybe if you got another van thats identical but its gonna get scrapped, then get a pair of fenders off it (of course if they are not damaged) and put them on this one (and repaint them white if its different colour) oh and tighten the brakes and nuts on that door panel, apply wd40 on all squeaky parts and its done.
