will.vend Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 well my old van finally died! 307,000 miles! It was a good van and I have already replaced it with a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, hopefully this one will be as good as the last one. I looked at full size vans but Im still not there. There are days when I am hauling racks that I need a full size but there are more days that I dont. Besides I like being able to blend in with traffic and not look like a commercial vehicle. I dont know what to do with my old van, it still runs but has a weak head gasket and overheats on long trips, it's fine around town but as you vendors know we dont spend much time in our hometown! I dont want someone mad at me thinking I ripped them off! any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It gave up the ghost? I can't believe it. How about a pic of the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Wow, that's a lot of miles! Depending on what you need to see for it, there are a lot of people in low-income situations that would be thrilled to have any vehicle at all. I don't know what you'd charge, but you could get something for it. Just a thought. Good luck with the new van Will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loach33 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Had a 1998 Grand Caravan until February of this year. 208,000 miles on it. Just had about $1500 in repairs done to it over about 6 months. Was showing its age, but ran good. Then.....a guy pulls out in front of me, I swerve a bit and a scrap metal hauler takes out the whole left side. Needless to say - totalled. Still looking for a replacement, but I've been borrowing a white cargo van for the past 3 months. It's convenient for sure, but the neighbors call it the "Creeper van". Women and young kids don't like the looks of it driving thru the neighborhood. LOL. Yeah, I've got to get rid of that and go back to the mini van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission vending Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Around here if it runs and a/c works its worth a grand at least. BTW got a 2002 with 200+K on it. Its been a great vehicle for my wife and the dog show stuff she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Vending Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Should be worth close to 500 in parts and scrap I would try and sell it as a comuter for a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedvender Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 750 to 1000 for anything that runs decent. If anything check around some charities will take your old car Salvation army Teen Challenge. Give you a tax donation receipt for the average market value. Some sold for scrap others are fixed up and given to needy families Single moms etc... To help them out. I have give some of my old cars that ran but were getting up in millage to a needy single mom or a family that had fallen on hard times. It helped them out and I was surprised by how long the car actually lasted them on a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
