Rosa's new ride


Recommended Posts

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT - Sticker price in April 08 was $30,540, it's loaded to the "T" dual screen DVD entertainment system, SIRIUS Satellite radio, power sliding doors including trunk, Stow-N-Go seating, Dark Slate Gray Seats, power/heated mirrors. This thing has a video camera when you put it in reverse you can watch it backing up from the touch screen radio, that was awesome.. 2nd row power windows, basically more schtuff than will ever use.

It started at $17,900 and they came back with $2800 for my van laugh and knocked an additinal $500 off for a grand total of $14,600 with the savings we purchased the 5 year Dodge max plan for service so that's basically free maintenace for the next 5 years.

It's a fleet rental with 18,800 miles and a clean history...

Rosa wasn't crazy about the color but the deal was done when they clipped an additional $500 off.

I was looking for $1500 for trade in max so $2800 blew me away grin

With the payment plan @ 63 mos it will be $309 monthly that included the extended service plan. Right in our payment window cool

Here's a pic of Rosa's car we pick it up Monday after work..

I'll call you guys on the "sets". Momma is reminiscing her last day with the Olds (6 good years with her).

I of course am eager to take the Olds over to give it an ice fishing overhaul as soon as she get's back from grocery shopping this morning... grin

Sweet ride and deal Tim. Looks like I'll have a new ride for fishing and camping soon. Gonna buy my sister's Outback in the near future. More room to put things and all wheel drive. Not so new, but a whole lot less and since it's a play vehicle...Maybe new next year.

Ray, the Outback is an incredible multi-tasker. I know a few people that have them and...they are bad ar$e! All wheel drive and have the room of an SUV. Can't go wrong!

Timmy...when are the seats coming out and the Traps in confused

Timmy...when are the seats coming out and the Traps in confused

Doug the seats are almost out of the Silhouette and the rubber mat ready to go in. Problem I have is my friend Tom that covers my buildings when I'm on leave fell down his basement stairs Saturday morning and broke his elbow and screwed up his back. Took morphine in the E.R. and is on Vikadin and Demerol and is off all week so I am stuck here at work but plan on fishing New Years Day if we have some good ice.

So I will finish everything on the van Wednesday evening and I will be ready to roll Thursday...

This van reminds me more of my brother-in-laws Jeep and I'm already looking forward to paying it off so I can get it grin Took her for a spin tonight and it's absolute creme puff... Amanda couldn't wait to put her Bratz DVD in the player. laugh

a cheeky comment or two since the ice is thin. However, rode by Delta, DC's favorite no man's land, and there were 3 guys on the winter entrance side standing together . . . so some ice held up. Looks like they were working tip ups. Aw gees now Timmie Tip Up will be running out there . . . Report of a few out on Moreice but only place to get on was by the culvert . . .shoreline was shot. That was all yesterday . . .

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
