Showing results 1 - 24 of 75
75 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan lots for sale across 58+ Copart locations – model years 1996–2008, avg. mileage 176,000 mi. 35% clean title, 57% salvage; Front End is the top damage (41%). Bids start at $200, and recent Dodges sold for a median winning bid around $2,100 before fees across the make.
Caravan and Grand Caravan share one hub here because Dodge sold them side by side for most of their run, spanning several generations of the same minivan – too broad a mix to price on its own sold history. Across the make a recent Dodge sold for a median winning bid near $2,100 before fees, most between $1,200 and $4,750 before fees, and a Caravan or Grand Caravan in ordinary shape tracks the low end of that range rather than the muscle-car side of the pool. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Engine and transmission depend heavily on the year. Early vans ran a 2.4 four or a 3.0–3.3 V6; the 3.8 V6 became the volume engine by the mid-2000s, and from 2011 the Grand Caravan switched to the 3.6 Pentastar V6 paired with a 6-speed automatic. On the older V6 vans, check the transmission fluid and shift quality closely, since the 4-speed automatics of that era don't tolerate deferred maintenance well. Power sliding doors come standard on most Grand Caravans, and one that won't open or close on command usually means a dead motor or a worn cable rather than an electrical gremlin, so confirm both doors cycle if the listing allows it. Dodge also built a stripped C/V Cargo version with the rear seats and windows deleted for fleets and small businesses, and those turn up here too at a discount to the passenger vans. As a front-wheel-drive unibody there's no frame, so a front hit means checking the strut towers and radiator support regardless of generation.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a van at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these Caravans in?
About 75 lots, 57% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board at 41%, and mileage averages 176,000 across a wide spread of model years.
Is a salvage Caravan or Grand Caravan worth buying?
Often yes for a cheap family hauler, if the sliding doors work and the transmission shifts cleanly. There isn't enough sold history to price this hub on its own, but across the make a recent Dodge sold for a median winning bid near $2,100 before fees. A dead sliding-door motor stacked with transmission trouble is where the math stops working; a clean-title Caravan is the safer starting point.
What should I check before bidding?
Both power sliding doors first, cycling them if the listing allows it. Then the transmission on older V6 vans – a hunting or slipping shift matters more here than on a newer 6-speed. On any year, the strut towers and radiator support take the brunt of a front hit.
Can I insure and register a salvage Caravan?
Not while it's still salvage. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection; once re-titled rebuilt, most insurers will write it – just not the company that totaled it. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license needed. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a van at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Caravan's history before bidding?
Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the Caravan?
The Chrysler Town & Country is the same van under Chrysler's badge, and the Honda Odyssey covers the same class if you want a different drivetrain entirely.
