Anonymous, WA (2009 Dodge Grand Caravan)Paint (fading, chalking, peeling, or cracking), loose interior or exterior trim or moldings, rust.
"When I purchased the car in 2019, the paint on the hood was bubbling. I knew that meant that rust was underneath. However, I have noticed no further deterioration there. But, in the meantime, both of the front fenders behind the wheel wells have rotted out so the mud flap and the adjoining fender areas are just dangling. Also, both rear 1/4 panels have rust holes. My tailgate has rust holes. That having been said, this is probably the BEST car I have ever owned. The stow and go seats should have gotten their designer a $1.0M bonus!"
