New Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Clearance Vehicles in La Nouvelle-Beauce and Bellechasse
Our clearance section gathers the new vehicles carrying our best conditions of the moment. Genuine new vehicles, never registered, covered by the full manufacturer warranty, simply units we have decided to move quickly. At Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler, in Sainte-Marie in La Nouvelle-Beauce and in Saint-Malachie in Bellechasse, this is the section buyers from the Beauce, Bellechasse, Lévis and the Quebec City area check first. And if you compare something other than the posted price, you will see why so many people make the drive out here.
What you will find in our clearance section
Clearance covers all four brands we represent, so the selection changes constantly. On the Jeep side, you will see Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer come through, and more recently the Recon. On the Ram side, it is Ram 1500, Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks, chassis cab models and ProMaster vans. From Dodge, the Charger and the Durango. From Chrysler, the Pacifica and the Grand Caravan, the latter a Canadian exclusive assembled in Windsor, Ontario.
In other words, whether you want a compact SUV for daily driving, a large three row SUV for the family, a minivan, a work truck, a commercial van to upfit or something with more attitude, chances are a matching unit passes through clearance sooner or later. Inventory moves fast, that is the nature of the section, so check back often or tell us what you are after.
New, demonstrator or pre-owned, three ways to get more for your money
This is where we differ from a dealership that sells only one type of vehicle. When you visit, you have three inventories in front of you at once, and our job is to steer you toward the one that fits your situation, not the one that suits us.
A new clearance vehicle gives you the full manufacturer warranty, the latest technology, and your pick of colour and equipment from what is left in stock. It suits the buyer who wants maximum peace of mind and keeps a vehicle a long time.
A demonstrator is a new vehicle we have used for test drives or for our own team. It shows a few thousand kilometres, it is covered by the manufacturer warranty, and it sells on more advantageous conditions than a new vehicle never driven. For many buyers, it is the best compromise between the freshness of new and the cost of a recent pre-owned vehicle.
The pre-owned side, finally, is what we are best known for in the region. Our used inventory covers the full Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram range, including models no longer sold new such as the Dodge Challenger, the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Ram 1500 Classic, the Ram ProMaster City and the Chrysler 300. For a buyer who wants the most value per dollar, or who is hunting a configuration that no longer exists in the new catalogue, that is often where the answer sits.
An advisor with all three inventories at hand asks the right questions and puts the three options side by side. That is hard to do with only one to offer.
The VIP program, what it is actually worth after the sale
The purchase price is only part of what a vehicle really costs. What comes afterward matters just as much, and that is what our VIP program is built to reduce.
The program has two levels, assigned according to your purchase history with us. VIP Gold goes to customers who have bought a vehicle from us. It entitles you to a 3 percent discount in the service department, free storage of your tires the first time, a complimentary local shuttle service, a courtesy vehicle and a valet service.
VIP Platinum is for customers who have trusted us with more than one vehicle. The service discount rises to 6 percent, the same services are included, and an annual free wash plus an annual free Aquapel windshield treatment are added.
Over the life of a vehicle, a permanent discount on every service visit, tire storage and access to a courtesy vehicle add up to real savings, year after year. Certain conditions apply to each benefit, and our advisors explain them clearly at the time of the transaction rather than letting you discover them later.
A hassle free experience, and our customers say so themselves
We could write here that we offer excellent service, like everybody else does. We would rather let you check for yourself. Both locations hold 4.7 out of 5 on Google, from 477 Google reviews for the Sainte-Marie dealership and 258 Google reviews for Saint-Malachie. These are not testimonials we picked and posted on our own site, they are public reviews, left by real customers, that we do not control.
What comes up most often in those comments is the absence of pressure and the clarity of the explanations. That is deliberate. A transaction where the customer understands exactly what he is buying and paying does not come back to haunt us six months later, and it brings that same customer back for his next vehicle.
Tailored advice instead of a canned sales pitch
A Ram 2500 and a Ram 3500 look alike in a parking lot, but they do not answer the same need, and the wrong choice is expensive. A Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee L have the same towing capacity, contrary to what many buyers assume. A plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica has never had the second row stow away seats. A well equipped Jeep Gladiator Sport S tows more than a Rubicon, which costs more.
These distinctions are not small print, they decide whether a customer is still satisfied three years from now. Our advisors know them and explain them before the sale, not after. If what you actually need is a less expensive vehicle than the one you came in to see, we will tell you so.
Two locations, one shared inventory, minutes from Lévis and Quebec City
Our dealership at 615 route Cameron in Sainte-Marie sits in La Nouvelle-Beauce, in the heart of the Beauce. The one at 692 route Henderson in Saint-Malachie is in Bellechasse. Both are in Chaudière-Appalaches, a few minutes from Lévis and roughly thirty minutes from downtown Quebec City by Highway 73.
Our inventories are shared between the two locations. If the vehicle you want is at the other store, we bring it over. You do not have to choose, or make two trips.
We regularly welcome buyers from Saint-Georges, Sainte-Marie, Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Saint-Malachie, Sainte-Claire, Lévis, Quebec City, Thetford Mines and across the South Shore and the Capitale-Nationale. Many tell us they drove past two or three other dealerships to get here. That comment makes our day, and it keeps us on our toes.
The real math, the one that looks at your return
Comparing two vehicles on the posted price alone means reading one line of a table that has several. The full calculation includes your current vehicle's trade-in value, the amount subject to sales tax once the trade is applied, service visits over the whole time you own the vehicle, tire storage twice a year, the expenses you avoid when a courtesy vehicle is provided, and resale value a few years down the road.
Add all of that up and a vehicle bought from a dealership that stands beside you after the sale often costs less than one bought for a few hundred dollars less somewhere else. That is the addition we invite you to do, and we will do it with you, one number at a time.
Seven reasons to shop our clearance section
Clearance vehicles are new vehicles that have never been registered, fully covered by the manufacturer warranty. You give up nothing on protection.
In a single visit you get access to new vehicles, demonstrators and our pre-owned inventory, so you compare three avenues instead of one.
The VIP program lowers your costs after the sale, with a permanent service discount, tire storage and access to a courtesy vehicle.
Both dealerships hold a rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Google, from 477 and 258 public reviews that we do not control.
Our advisors know the technical distinctions that genuinely matter between two models and explain them before the sale.
Our inventories are shared between Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie, so the vehicle you want is brought to you rather than the other way around.
We are a few minutes from Lévis and roughly thirty minutes from Quebec City, close enough for routine maintenance and far enough from the big centres to have kept a way of doing business on a human scale.
Frequently asked questions about our clearance section
Are clearance vehicles really new?
Yes. They are new vehicles, never registered, covered by the full manufacturer warranty. Clearance refers to the conditions we are offering, not to the condition of the vehicle.
Why do some vehicles end up in clearance?
The reasons vary: a new model year arriving, a unit in stock for a while, a colour or configuration in lower demand, or simply our own decision to make room for incoming shipments. It has nothing to do with the quality of the vehicle.
Which brands and models can I find in clearance?
All four brands we represent, namely Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram. Depending on the moment, you will see Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer and Recon models, Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks, chassis cab models and ProMaster vans, the Dodge Charger and the Dodge Durango, as well as the Chrysler Pacifica and the Chrysler Grand Caravan.
What is the difference between a new clearance vehicle and a demonstrator?
A clearance vehicle has never been driven other than to be moved around. A demonstrator has served for test drives or for our team, shows a few thousand kilometres, and stays covered by the manufacturer warranty while selling on more advantageous conditions.
Is the manufacturer warranty reduced on a clearance vehicle?
No. A new vehicle that has never been registered keeps its basic warranty and its powertrain warranty in full. Our advisors give you the exact coverage details for the model you are interested in.
What exactly is the VIP program?
It is our reward program for customers, assigned according to your purchase history. VIP Gold gives you a 3 percent discount in the service department, free storage of your tires the first time, a complimentary local shuttle, a courtesy vehicle and a valet service. VIP Platinum raises the service discount to 6 percent and adds an annual wash and an annual Aquapel windshield treatment. Certain conditions apply, and we explain them at the time of the transaction.
How do I become a VIP program member?
By buying a vehicle from us. The Gold level is granted from your first purchase, and the Platinum level is for customers who have trusted us with more than one vehicle.
Will you take my current vehicle in trade?
Yes, whatever the brand and wherever it was purchased. The appraisal is done on site, and a trade-in can reduce the amount subject to sales tax in Quebec, which often changes the math more than buyers expect.
Can I do business with you if I live in Lévis or Quebec City?
Absolutely, and a good share of our customers come from there. We are a few minutes from Lévis and roughly thirty minutes from downtown Quebec City by Highway 73. Plenty of customers from the South Shore and the Capitale-Nationale make the trip to buy and to have their vehicle serviced.
The vehicle I want is at your other location, is that a problem?
Not at all. Our inventories are shared between Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie and we move the vehicle for you. You do not have to make two trips.
Do you offer financing and leasing on site?
Yes. Our team handles applications on site, compares the programs offered by the manufacturer and our partner institutions, and lays out purchase and lease options so you choose with full information in hand.
Can I have my vehicle serviced with you after the purchase?
Yes. Both shops, in Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie, are equipped for maintenance and warranty repairs on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles, with factory trained technicians and genuine Mopar parts. That is also where the VIP program really comes into its own.
Does the clearance inventory change often?
Yes, and quickly. That is the nature of the section. If you are looking for a particular model or configuration, tell us and we will let you know as soon as a matching unit shows up.
Do I need an appointment for a test drive?
It is not required, but it is clearly preferable. A call or a message ahead of time lets us prepare the exact vehicle you want and saves you a trip for nothing.

Used Dodge Grand Caravan for Sale Near Levis and Quebec City
The Dodge Grand Caravan is no longer built, yet it remains one of the most requested minivans on the used market in Quebec. At Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler, buyers from Levis, Quebec City, Beauce and Bellechasse still ask for it by name: seven seats, a floor that swallows the seats whole, and mechanicals every shop already knows. Because the van was sold here in several Canada-specific trims, and because another brand took over the name after 2020, it pays to know exactly what you are looking at.
A minivan built in Canada
The Dodge Grand Caravan was assembled at the Windsor, Ontario plant. Its last model year sold in Canada is 2020, and production ended in August 2020, closing a run of 36 model years of minivans built in Windsor since 1984. In Canada it was replaced for the 2021 model year by the Chrysler Grand Caravan, also built in Windsor, but based on the Chrysler Pacifica. The name carried on, the vehicle did not.
One generation, from 2011 to 2020
The generation sold from 2011 to 2020 rides on the RT platform, introduced for the 2008 model year and heavily revised for 2011. No major redesign followed, which means a 2011 Grand Caravan and a 2020 Grand Caravan are mechanically the same vehicle. For a used buyer, that is an advantage. The mechanicals ran for a decade without a fundamental change, parts are shared across the entire period, and every shop knows the diagnostic procedures.
One engine for the whole run
Every Grand Caravan from 2011 to 2020 uses the 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 with variable valve timing, rated at 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the only configuration, since all-wheel drive was never offered on the Dodge Grand Caravan at any point. The 3.3 litre and 3.8 litre V6 engines existed only from 2008 to 2010, before the Pentastar arrived, so they are not an option to look for on a 2011 or newer van.
Towing capacity reaches 1,633 kilograms, or 3,600 pounds, when the trailer tow preparation package is present. Without that package, capacity is considerably lower, so it has to be confirmed unit by unit. Official fuel consumption figures are 13.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 9.4 on the highway and 11.8 combined.
The Canadian trims, and how they differ from the American ones
Canada did not use the same trim names as the United States. Official Canadian specifications from 2016 to 2020 list six models. The Canada Value Package, a Canada-only entry trim, comes with 17-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and seven seats. The SXT adds second-row Super Stow 'n Go, floor storage, a roof rack, body-colour side mouldings, deep-tint windows, a floor console and an 8-way power driver's seat. The SXT Premium Plus brings 17-inch aluminum wheels, fog lamps, leatherette upholstery with suede inserts, a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and three-zone air conditioning.
The Crew adds chrome accents, a 6-speaker audio system, three-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, painted aluminum wheels and a standard power liftgate. The Crew Plus layers on a 6.5-inch touchscreen, a rear camera, power sliding doors, leather upholstery, heated front seats, ambient lighting and satellite radio. At the top of the range, the sport-flavoured R/T was offered through 2016 and was replaced from 2017 to 2020 by the GT, with an all-black interior, heated front seats and heated steering wheel, a 9-speaker audio system with amplifier, sport-tuned suspension, remote start and available navigation.
Three details worth knowing. Blacktop is not a trim but an appearance package, offered notably on the SXT. A 35th Anniversary Edition was offered for the 2019 model year, marking 35 years of the minivan, with an all-black interior with contrast stitching, specific badging and blacked-out exterior accents. Finally, the SE and SE Plus names are American. A Grand Caravan wearing one of them is very likely a vehicle imported from the United States.
Stow 'n Go, the first thing to check
The third-row Stow 'n Go bench, which folds flat into the floor, is standard on every trim, including the Canada Value Package. Second-row Super Stow 'n Go, meaning the captain's chairs that also disappear into the floor, is standard from the SXT and up. It is absent from the Canada Value Package, which keeps a second-row bench that does not fold into the floor.
Checking takes ten seconds. Lift the carpet in front of the second row. If there are no storage bins in the floor, the van does not have Super Stow 'n Go. When the system is present, it allows up to 81 seating configurations. The tailgate seat, which flips rearward so you can sit with the liftgate open, was available right from the entry trim. As for the Swivel 'n Go swivelling seats, they existed only from 2008 to 2010 and are not found on a 2011 or newer van.
The technology, described plainly
Entry trims use a radio without a touchscreen, with a monochrome display, while higher trims get a 6.5-inch touchscreen with available built-in navigation. Uconnect voice command with Bluetooth is standard from the SXT up. One point deserves to be stated plainly: no Dodge Grand Caravan, in any model year, ever offered Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The van also never offered automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control or lane departure warning. On the other hand, a rear entertainment package with a second-row screen was available, as was a dual-screen system, with Blu-ray compatibility from 2013 onward. Rear park assist was available, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection was available as an option only.
Power sliding doors and the power liftgate were optional on the Canada Value Package, the SXT and the SXT Premium Plus, and standard on the Crew, the Crew Plus and the GT. Two vans from the same model year can therefore have manual or power doors, which makes this the very first thing to verify. The rear camera, first offered on upper trims, became standard across the entire lineup for the 2020 model year. Since Transport Canada made it mandatory on light vehicles manufactured on or after May 1, 2018, every 2019 and 2020 Grand Caravan has one. On the passive safety side, the van carries seven airbags, electronic stability control, a driver knee airbag, side curtains covering all three rows and tire pressure monitoring.
Seven seats and unusual cargo volume
The layout is 2 plus 2 plus 3. Cargo volume reaches 880 litres behind the third row, 2,234 litres behind the second row and 4,491 litres at maximum. The van measures 5,174 millimetres long, 1,998 millimetres wide and 1,753 millimetres tall, on a 3,078 millimetre wheelbase.
A reference platform for wheelchair accessible conversions
For more than two decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan was one of the main wheelchair conversion platforms in North America, in both rear-entry and lowered-floor side-entry formats. The reason is structural: the flat floor made possible by the Stow 'n Go architecture makes it easier to lower the floor for a ramp installation. The Quebec government also administers a financial assistance program for the purchase or conversion of vehicles adapted for people who use a wheelchair.
Telling the Grand Caravan apart from its relatives
A Grand Caravan from 2020 or earlier is a Dodge, built on the RT platform, with the 283 horsepower V6 and the six-speed automatic. A Grand Caravan from 2021 or newer is a Chrysler, built on the Chrysler Pacifica, with a 287 horsepower V6 rated at 262 lb-ft and a nine-speed automatic, making it a completely different and more modern vehicle. The Chrysler Town and Country is exactly the same vehicle as the Dodge Grand Caravan, out of the same Windsor plant, on the same platform and with the same engine, simply better equipped as standard and positioned as the luxury model, and its final model year is 2016. The Chrysler Pacifica is an entirely new generation, introduced for the 2017 model year, on a different platform, with a nine-speed automatic and available all-wheel drive. The Chrysler Voyager, finally, is not sold in Canada. It is the American name for what Canada calls the Chrysler Grand Caravan.
Seven things to know before buying a used Dodge Grand Caravan
Confirm second-row Super Stow 'n Go by lifting the carpet, because the Canada Value Package does not have it.
Check whether the sliding doors and liftgate are manual or powered, since this varies from one van to the next within the same model year.
Do not look for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as no model year ever offered them.
Do not look for all-wheel drive either, since the Dodge Grand Caravan is front-wheel drive only.
To tow up to 3,600 pounds, the trailer tow preparation package has to be present, and that is verified unit by unit.
A Grand Caravan badged SE or SE Plus is very likely a vehicle imported from the United States.
Every 2019 and 2020 Grand Caravan has a rear camera, since Canadian regulation made it mandatory on light vehicles manufactured on or after May 1, 2018.
Frequently asked questions about the used Dodge Grand Caravan
What is the difference between the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Grand Caravan?
The Dodge is the version sold through the 2020 model year, on the RT platform, with a 283 horsepower V6 and a six-speed automatic. The Chrysler Grand Caravan, from 2021 onward, is built on the Chrysler Pacifica, with a 287 horsepower V6 rated at 262 lb-ft and a nine-speed automatic. Same name, two different vehicles.
Do all Grand Caravans have second-row Stow 'n Go?
No. The folding third-row bench is standard on every trim, but second-row Super Stow 'n Go starts at the SXT. The Canada Value Package keeps a second-row bench that does not fold into the floor.
How can I quickly tell whether a Grand Caravan has Super Stow 'n Go?
Lift the carpet in front of the second row. If there are no storage bins in the floor, the van does not have Super Stow 'n Go.
Does the Dodge Grand Caravan have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
No, no model year ever offered them. Entry trims have a monochrome display radio and upper trims have a 6.5-inch touchscreen with available navigation, but neither of those two features was ever available.
Is there an all-wheel drive Dodge Grand Caravan?
No. The van is front-wheel drive only for its entire run. All-wheel drive is found on the Chrysler Pacifica side, starting with the 2017 model year.
Are power sliding doors standard?
It depends on the trim. They were optional on the Canada Value Package, the SXT and the SXT Premium Plus, and standard on the Crew, the Crew Plus and the GT. Two vans from the same model year can therefore differ.
What is the difference with the Chrysler Town and Country?
They are the same vehicle, out of the same Windsor plant, on the same platform and with the same engine. The Town and Country was simply better equipped as standard and positioned as the luxury model. Its final model year is 2016.
Is the Chrysler Pacifica the same thing?
No. The Pacifica is an entirely new generation, introduced for the 2017 model year, on a different platform, with a nine-speed automatic and available all-wheel drive.
What is the Chrysler Voyager?
It is the American name for what Canada calls the Chrysler Grand Caravan. The Voyager is not sold in Canada.
Which engine is in a 2011 or newer Grand Caravan?
The 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 with variable valve timing, rated at 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft, with a six-speed automatic. The 3.3 and 3.8 litre V6 engines existed only from 2008 to 2010.
Is the Grand Caravan suited to Quebec winters?
It is front-wheel drive, which puts the weight of the engine over the driven wheels. In Quebec, four compliant winter tires are mandatory from December 1 to March 15, and on a front-wheel drive vehicle the quality of those tires matters a great deal.
Does the Grand Caravan work for wheelchair accessible transportation?
For more than two decades it was one of the main wheelchair conversion platforms in North America, in both rear-entry and lowered-floor side-entry formats, thanks to the flat floor made possible by the Stow 'n Go architecture. The Quebec government administers a financial assistance program for the purchase or conversion of such vehicles.
How much can a Dodge Grand Caravan tow?
Up to 1,633 kilograms, or 3,600 pounds, when the trailer tow preparation package is present. Without it, capacity is considerably lower, and we always confirm the figure for the specific unit you are considering.
Can you service my Grand Caravan, and will you take my current vehicle on trade?
Yes. Our two service departments, in Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie, service and repair Dodge and Chrysler vehicles with factory-trained technicians and genuine Mopar parts. We also take your current vehicle on trade, whatever the brand, with the appraisal done on site, and a trade-in can reduce the amount subject to sales tax in Quebec.
