2003 Dodge Van for $1,000. Should I get it?

[coconumbering]

It`s friend`s parents` Van. Very good shape. It has ran 219,000 KM. But the price is good. The dealer offers such a price. I know it is more than that.



But my question is if I buy this one, how much insurance should I pay for it? Is this the amount that the seller should tell me? Or someone here can tell me.



Normally, how much you should pay each month for my van, like gas , insurance, etc?



Thanks a lot !

insurance depends on ur driving record, age, years of driving, G/G2, sex etc

I assume 219k ran for about 10 years. I will be more looking at the maintenance cost and fuel comsumption. $1000 looks good on the car, but followup maintenance might cost you unless you are willing to scrap it once a big ticket of garage bill arrives.

check the brake, tires, rotors, suspentions, maintence. any huge repair or damage. Do some quote with the insurance and see what the results are

Your future repair will for sure cost more than $1000.

It doesn't worth since you'll pay fortune to fix this car in the next few years. The resale value of Dodge Caravan is very low. I trade in me 4 years old Caravan for $6000 (only 70,000km on it).
