Ohwell

Is anyone running high mileage e.g. Over 150,000. Looked at one which had a rebuild but unfortunately the sales guy was an arsehole and wouldn't let me test drive it without saying I'd buy it. I might look at a cv on a 2001 'Y' reg but it's 169,000 miles. Which I've been told it'll need an engine rebuild. Now if it was a vw 'pd' engine with that mileage I wouldn't be bothered but since I don't know about these crd 2.5 enigines I'm hesitant. Thanks

Nice ad but for me Feb is too late as I need one now lol. My misses is 24 weeks today with twins and not having a car now as is old it I'm really on the hunt. If I don't get one by xmas then I'll be looking at a different make which isn't what I want but needs must. Thanks though.

thanks It's not easy trying to look past all the riffraff about. What gets me is the sellers lying or not telling the whole truth about the car(s). so hten travel upto 40 miles to look and then see then drive back without. I'm looking at a grand voyager limited on sat morning. It's fully loaded but my concern is it's had an engine rebuild with invoice to show what's been done. Down side is it's 168k miles. Until I get there I don't know what to expect. Just getting fed up with looking at rubbish. My car got sold last sat so only have my works van for transport.

?

I said that as that's what this gen seem to go for.

From 02 - 06 With what members are saying on here it seems the ones with the rust are not looked after and not cleaned my hand or often enough in that case. I've had vw's mostly and the ones I've had are genuinely looked after as mostly owned by an enthusiast. I'm looking at a grand voyager probably Thursday night since there open til 19:00 but for the money as long as there's no major issues. I'll buy it as it has 12 month mot. Full leather with heated seats. So I'll see what that's like.

I'm looking at a gv on Saturday apparently it's having a power steering pump done and will have 12 month mot. if it has the 12 mot I might just buy it and see how it goes for the price it's worth it for a year. It's at the same place I saw a black one yesterday with the rust so I'll take some pictures of it and show that they do rust. I think it's 4 out of 8 I've looked at the have problems with rust. I could be that they are not cleaned properly by going through car washed (machine ones) which miss the underneath part of the sill coursing them to corrode. I don't know just surmising. The stow and go's I've not seen any in my price range. But not bothered about that. As once our twins are born all seats will be in use.

It's a pain to deal with I know. My last car was 21 year old and shared a lot of parts with no other so had to track good condition ones down. Some Mechanical parts I had to buy non oem as they were discontinued. So this side of things doesn't bother me. This forum seems friendly and helpful so thanks guys for all your feed back Cheers

Noticed one had nouchy gears but that was due to the clutch bitting at the top. Left that car alone as not had a service in 50k miles. I don't want an auto as I don't like them much prefer to change gear when I want to. I sold my car yesterday (sat afternoon) so need a car now and no matter what other cars I'm getting told to look at like a (cough cough) Kia Sedona err the Chrysler voyager for the looks of MPV's look far nicer Nearly every car I've had I've tastefully modified mostly cosmetic i.e. Lower and alloys. My plans when I get one is just to make the car mine. By changing the wheels once what ever tyres on get worn. This car once I have one is just a family bus for daily duties I'll be getting another VR6 vw as a toy once my and my misses are married. Cars are under my skin and have been since I was a kid. I feel if you don't look back at your car when walking away you have bought the wrong car. Also look after it better too.

Thanks for you feed back and welcome. Oh they do rot. One I looked at today had sills and the bottom of the drivers doors was all bubbled up right the way across. Most I've seen are rotten on the sills towards the back wheel arches. Not all but that's where they seem to go. We have twins on the way which is why we need a 7 seater. Our pram should fit as it folds quite small and everything just unclips easily. These chryslers are no way as bad as the ford/seat/vw for rust though and the two I've drove were better and bigger than the others. I'm looking at 2000 to 2007. Seen 06 plates less than 52 plates. Spec wise im not too fussed and mechanically as long as there is some service history and proof of the cam belt done them most things I can sort. I'm looking for one which is priced right but the body has to be respectable i.e. No bumps and minimal scratches as I can detail most out if not too deep. What does get me is people who are selling cars in general say : " age related bumps and marks" No such thing it just shows the person doesn't really care about the car. The search continues I will find one before xmas. 5 weeks down 3 left ?

Thanks guys for the feed back The only things I haven't seen are any oil leaks as there is a tray under the engine so difficult to see.

I've been using mot-checker which when I've see what they are failing on the main ones are the hand brake not holding and abs (forgot that one) I've seen a fair few with rotten sills. Changing wheels just preference as makes the vehicle more personalised to the individual. Take it this forum people don't do things like that. I'm going to look at two today with a bit of luck I might buy one of them. Ones a black voyager LX 130k miles The other is a grand voyager 102k miles in silver Not bothered which one as I haven't noticed the size difference.

Hi I'm lee New (well going to be) to Chrysler I'm looking for a voyager or grand voyager due to expanding our family. I've posted in the tech section if anyone can answer the questions. Thanks for looking.

Oh and what's the pcd of the wheels please will have to change the rims when I get one.

Newbie to this site. I'm a vw nut through and through but since my family is growing I've found myself needing a 7 seater. So since I was looking at vw/seat to stick to what I know. I've found myself looking at these cars for the following reasons. Well spec'ed Mahoosive (massive) More practical for our needs having sliding doors. But while I'm looking at these cars I'm finding a lot of common issues. Rear tyres seem to get eaten. Sliding doors and tailgate central locking issues. Handbrake not holding Top mounts seem weak. Rot. Rot everywhere. Mostly son the sills and chassis mounts. Wiper stork only working on fastest speed ? Lights seem to be temperamental. I'm not shying away but I would like to know what are the common faults or anymore that I haven't listed. Out of 8 I think I've looked at I've only driven two but all were way over priced for the faults they had. Which when I've looked without my budget in these cars are oddly priced. Anything from 500 to £5000 and doesn't really matter on the age. Thanks for any comments
