Lookingat a 2000 T&C with 80,000 on 3.3. Excellent condition. Anyone know of any hidden problems I should look for?
Thanks in advance.

 

Don't buy one with a leak(oil, Trannie fluid or antifreeze). If possible, get a local trade-in. Ask to see maintenance records if available. Look at antifreeze and A/C lines going to the rear of the car and see if they are heavily rusted. Look at the top of the strut towers in the engine compartment for heavy rust/deterioration. During the test drive listen for groaning from the front suspension when going slowly over a speed bump or something like that, may be bad sway bar bushings/links.
Try ALL the power equipment(windows, every door lock etc.) Remote door lock/unlock, wipers, all lights, turn signals. Gas tube supports for rear gate. Verify the A/C works on all speeds of both the front and rear blowers(if equipped), verify air comes out where it should, based on the control position(self explanatory). Make sure cruse control works. I still think it is the best cruse in the industry.
Just a few things that come to mind, there are some others that I am sure others can think of, some real pros here.

 

Thanks for the info. Got complete carfax on this and it has been meticulously maintained. No leaks or rust. Looks to be a "creampuff"
