I have a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan with 155000 miles. I have a leak somewhere between the radiator and the overflow tank that I have been nursing for about a year. I also think the waterpump may be going and I am sure the timing belt needs to be changed. Electically, the interior lights work intermittantly and the speedometer is also intermittant. I have to admit, I have had few problems with the van and I actually am getting about 24mpg still. About how much can I expect to pay for repairs?

Motor size?

To answer the the question of replacing will be: Can you buy another vehicle, know the problems it has for the same cost of the repair?

You can double the mileage.
