A rare first-generation Dodge Caravan is on sale in Valley City, Ohio right now with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine and manual transmission. We are told that the company only produced around 400 such minivans, and this 1989MY example is in great condition. The current price is $18,225.
The description states that the owner of the van put 93,000 miles (149,650 km) on its odometer prior to letting it collect dust in a garage for 17 years. The velour-draped three-row interior has very little wear to show for the age, and equipment on board includes an AC and a radio.
Powering the supposedly rare MPV is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine turbo’d to deliver 150 PS (148 hp / 110 kW) through a five-speed manual gearbox.
The first generation of the Caravan dates back to 1983-1990 and comes equipped with four- and six-cylinder engines, including some Mitsubishi designs.
