Hello Everyone,
I have a 1991 caravan cargo van with 110,000 miles that I use for my business. Last fall I had planned on replacing it with a newer used van. After going to several dealerships I was shocked to find the average mileage on used cargo vans was between 90,000 and 150,000 with an average price tag between $7,500 – $9,900.
To make a long story short, I decided I was far better off to refurbish my current van than to buy any of the junk that I saw on the lots.
Where do I start? What maintenance should I have done?
Here are some of the existing problems:
A/C is not working.
Temp gauge sensor not working
Speedometer sensor intermediate.
Fuel gauge sensor intermediate.
Outside of these problems, the van runs fine. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
