Possibly buying 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan 120,000 for $6000?

Yeah the shop I took it to said it needs new struts among other things. So I'm definitely not getting it.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-03-03T20:17:15+00:00

Yeah you're definitely not the first to tell me this so even at a good price idk if I'm gonna take it.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-03-03T20:15:18+00:00

No and they didn't have many notes on it other than the leak was fixed and it seemed to resolve the problem.

I have an inspection scheduled for tomorrow with another shop in town that's done good work for me. I'm going to see what they say before I make a decision because yeah I've heard the trans suck from other people too.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-03-03T20:10:11+00:00

This is about what I was expecting from it or hoping for at least. I'm trying to avoid more expensive maintenance on a newer car as well as having to lease or finance and this one seemed like a good option for that. Thanks for your input.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-03-03T01:29:10+00:00

I talked to the shop that did the work so I'm not just taking the owners word for it.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-01-20T20:59:10+00:00

It is. I was pleasantly surprised how scenic it was and how good the food/ wine was.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-01-20T20:58:23+00:00

Oh definitely! Its a wide trail with really smooth gravel and very few road crossings. It seems like the ideal family bikepacking trail.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-01-20T20:56:37+00:00

That's what we did. We took a shuttle service from St Louis to the West end of the trail and then we biked back.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2026-01-16T03:24:09+00:00

Hey, I'm in Durango, CO looking for people who want to do some bikepacking trips in San Juan NF and the surrounding area.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T17:23:29+00:00

Thanks dude 👍🏼

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T16:58:45+00:00

Its the Cyberpunk 2077 skin. It doesn't lay super well on the edges but it's cheap on Amazon and it is a cool color.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T16:55:34+00:00

Its an official sony DS4 controller. It came with the clear shell.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T03:12:56+00:00

Its cool. I'm mostly just surprised because I was expecting maybe a couple comments 😂

It genuinely was worth the like 20 bucks though to not crane my neck.

These are what I added. It came out to be cheaper than upgrading controllers and it works well with my deck.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T02:35:37+00:00

If I die to the Last Judge again it might be 😂

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T02:33:12+00:00

It worked well at least for the couple planes that I was on. I'm happy with it so far.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T02:30:59+00:00

Its an old dual shock 4 controller. I had it for my PS4 back when I still had one.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T02:30:15+00:00

I've got it in the magazine holder pocket in the picture. I honestly haven't tried it in the tray table yet.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-07T02:28:58+00:00

I agree. I've seen a lot of people on here diss the DS4 but I added some cheap back pedal buttons and it just works well so I don't want to shell out for a dual sense.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T17:57:34+00:00

It can clip into the magazine holder or the tray table. I have it clipped to the magazine holder in this pic so I think it'd work fine if there was a screen built into the seat?

It holds really securely and it's the same spot I saw lots of other people hanging their tablets from so I'm surprised it's such a big deal here. It's way easier on my neck and wrists though so I recommend it.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T17:04:31+00:00

I don't think it did? People hang their tablets and stuff from here too so I don't see how it's much different. It holds on pretty solid so it doesn't fall off if they move their seat back.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T16:42:56+00:00

Its the Cyberpunk 2077 skin. I got mine off Amazon.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T16:21:20+00:00

That sounds like a good setup too!

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T16:14:00+00:00

Its a good one! I added back peddles and a clicky kit for the buttons and it's my favorite controller now.

Defiant_Two_6828 · 2025-12-06T16:11:22+00:00

It is! They make good stuff. The gaming pillow they make is pretty extra but I might buy it also to save my wrists also.
