Heres what Im considering currently...

Im looking at a 2000 Dodge Caravan. Yeah, I know.

Reason being is because Im looking at two of them that do not shift. I know for these cars (and neons, and intrepids) they use an electronic controlled 4 speed auto trans that has a shifter solenoid that ALWAYS goes bad. Well when I bought my neon, I thought this was my problem and bought a shifter solenoid (which is the same between all three cars), and ended up not using it because my neon has a hydraulic 3-speed auto. Im looking to pick up this non-shifting minivan for like $400, throw the solenoid in it, and drive it away. Only thing holding me back is, what if the whole trans is fuct? Not like I can part out a caravan.. But if the solenoid fixed the issue, the van would be worth at least $1800. Im just debating if itd still be worth it if i needed to put a trans in it.

Im looking at picking up a car for under $600 in the next few days. What do you guys think? Ive been combing CL all morning hah.
