I purchased Greenbean, my 1997 Dodge Caravan LE, at Auction in November of 2022. I did a lot of work to make it roadworthy again and put 14k miles on the odometer.
This is a video of the final walkaround as well as the story of Greenbean, since I had her.
Unfortunately I did have to send Greenbean down the road in June 2024. But at least we saved the van from an untimely death at the scrap yard!
Hopefully you keep on keeping on Greenbean, maybe we will see you again :)
Thanks for watching!

I purchased my '92 Grand Caravan LE in 1996. Drove it for 20 years. Best car I've ever owned. Purchased a '93 Town and Country in 1998. A '96 Town and Country in 2002. ALL 3 VEHICLES PURCHASED IN DALLAS AND BROUGHT BACK TO MINNESOTA. Everything is cheaper in TX plus, the cars are rust free. You should think about that. Great video!

Yesterday I picked up another van. 1989 Plymouth Voyager se TURBO :D unfortunatley still locked out of it.. Dragged it out of the weeds and winched it onto the trailer all while in park.. Did what I had to do to save it from the scrap.. My propane van unfortunately met it's demise.. I didn't get there in time :( I really could have used that 2.5 out of it.. 222k kms 138k miles on a propane engine would have been like new inside..

You need to get a log book for your fleet. That way you don't have to remember just go to the log and look it up. I see what you mean about changing the hood, big difference and it spruced it up quite a bit. Do you remember what the auction price was? Good video. Happy Motoring.
@MNMoparMinivan
@MNMoparMinivan 22 дня назад
@mostlymoparih5682 Yes I agree a log book would be great. The videos have helped me a lot as well... but you are right I have the copart receipts somewhere but it was $900 something after fees. Final bid was like 400 or so

Sad to see greenbean go, but greenbean at least should stay on the road for many more decades, at least if no more trucks attack. Nice to see that greenbean will be fixed after the accident! I also love those sun visor extensions, my 90s nissan has those and it is sooooo nice, They really should have kept useful features like that instead of the touch screens and such, I never see the little touches like that on new cars.

@@MNMoparMinivan Same cuz tbh these 3rd gens are my favorite mainly because my aunt & uncle bought my '97 when it was new, then sold it to the Batesville chrysler dealership, which crazy enough is that it actually still has the original front plate that says Batesville Chrysler Plymouth Dodge Jeep Eagle which I thought was super cool cuz you don't really see stuff like that anymore and when '03 rolled around that's when my aunt and uncle sold it and my grandparents went there and bought it. That and my mom had a 2000 grand caravan SE she bought brand new and I can still remember it all the way back from when they traded it in for my dad's truck in 2010

It's always sad to see a vehicle go. I'm at the point where I probably have to take my Intrepid off the road. After having it since 2014. The knock sensor is bad. The lower intake and heads will need to come off to fix it. I can't do the job. A shop would charge a fortune.

@MNMoparMinivan 9 дней назад
@trr5291 does it need the knock sensor to run? 3rd gen caravans you can just unplug them and the computer will then ignore. Not sure what motor the intrepid has.

@trr5291 run er till she goes then haha. But seriously, you might just be able to unplug it. Obviously the computer won't get the input from it in the event something is wrong internally but at the same time... who cares? Either it works or it dont.
