Free Delivery! Murdered Out Textured Paint, 3rd Seat, Rear A/c, Fully Serviced! on 2040-cars
Washington, District Of Columbia, United States
This auction is for a 2001 Dodge Durango SLT 4X4 finished in a badass looking black textured “spray-on bedliner” paint job (details of which are mentioned later in the description) with the Beige premium cloth interior. It’s powered by a 235 horsepower and 295 lb. ft. of torque 4.7 liter Magnum V8 engine that has received numerous rave reviews by engineers and the automotive press for it’s high power output and inherent smoothness. First introduced in 1999, it’s a completely new and totally modern engine design for Chrysler. It features a cast iron block for excellent durability, aluminum cylinder heads with magnesium valve covers for reduced weight and excellent heat dissipation, overhead cams with hydraulic valve lash adjusters and steel timing chains for reduced maintenance, multi-point fuel injection for maximum power output along with a composite intake manifold for light weight and a cooler intake charge, and coil-on-plug (COP) ignition for reliability in all environmental conditions.
This 4.7L engine is more than capable of performing any job you can give it, from carrying cargo with over a half ton of payload capacity to towing a heavy trailer weighing over two tons. It’s not as powerful as the optional 5.9L engine, (although it only gives up 10 horsepower), but because it’s got all the latest engine design technology you can get much better fuel economy with over 20 mpg highway driving when driven moderately, compared to the 5.9L which will barely reach 15 mpg. And it runs great on regular grade gas. The engine is mated to Chrysler’s 45RFE automatic transmission with overdrive. Also introduced as a new design in 1999, this transmission has three planetary gearsets rather than the two normally used in a 4-speed automatic and has a dual internal filter system all making for a heavy duty and reliable unit. It has a low first gear that provides brisk acceleration when starting off, while the high overdrive top gear allows for effortless highway cruising and good fuel economy. In fact, at 60 mph the engine is only turning at 1,700 rpm. Finishing off the Durango’s powertrain is a part time four wheel drive system with a New Venture NV 233 electric shift two-speed transfer case. This 4X4 system has four driving modes. 2WD is designed for all normal driving conditions where low traction isn’t an issue. 4 High is for driving in snow, mud, sand or off paved roads and can be engaged on the fly at any legal speeds. 4 Low is for situations that require extra pulling power at low speeds such as when crawling over rocks or pulling a boat up a steep boat ramp. Neutral is for disconnecting the axles from the powertrain and is used most often when the vehicle is towed behind an RV with all four wheels on the ground. Shifting between modes is with a dash-mounted switch instead of a balky lever as found in some other trucks, and there are no hubs you have to lock or unlock. This Durango SLT is fully equipped with all the desirable safety, comfort and convenience features and equipment including:

The interior is in fair to good condition. The front seats, carpet and dash are nice except for a dime size nick in the right side of the dash and the cloth on the drivers door has some smokers singe marks. The truck does not have any smoker’s smell that I can notice and I’m not a smoker. The previous owner must have had young kids as there is some residue from spilled soft drinks and juice cups in the rear carpet and a few spots on the seats. A weekend of intense cleaning should get it looking great. The engine compartment has been fully detailed and is very clean. Mechanically it runs and drives great. The engine and transmission pulls strong and yet feels smooth while idling, accelerating and throughout the cruising range. The steering wheel is on dead center going down the road with no shakes or vibrations at speed, the brakes are firm with no pedal pulsations or pulling to one side when stopping and the suspension is tight. The four wheel drive works great and went through 14 inches of snow this past winter like it was nothing. The A/C blows ice cold front and rear. It has a pair of Dunlop tires on the front with very good tread and a pair of Firestones on the rear. One is fair to good and the other will need to be replaced soon. The only issues to note are a timing chain slap for 3 or 4 seconds after a cold start which is common on the 4.7 engine and which most owners just live with, and the rear brakes squeal sometimes as you are coming to a gentle stop. They have new brake shoes and probably need to wear in a thousand miles. The truck has been fully checked out and serviced with over $1,800 worth of new or recent parts, maintenance and repairs with original Mopar or other name brand parts so that only your enjoyment rather than your immediate attention will be required on delivery. Some of the items checked or serviced include:
Photos of some of the parts replaced and service done:

In addition to the above service, all the accessories and electrical systems have been checked. All the power windows go up and down properly from the drivers master switch and all the individual switches. All the power door locks including the rear hatch lock and unlock properly from all the switches and the remote. The stereo works. The cruise control works. The power mirrors work. The headlights work on high and low beam. The fog lights and all the other exterior lights work. All the interior dome and courtesy lights work except the vanity mirror light. The speedometer and all the gauges work If you are serious about buying a nice first generation Durango 4X4 in general, and a well equipped SLT model with third row seating and dual A/C, this is about as low as they go in this nice condition. Sure, there are plenty of these Durango’s out there for $1,500 or $2,000, but if you have to spend another $3,000 soon after getting it home, it’s no bargain. Remember, you can get a great deal on Ebay with prices sometimes way below retail, but no bidder is going to “steal” a vehicle and no seller is going to give one away either. Also when comparing prices to the other Durango’s listed, remember the things that you won’t have to spend money on soon after getting it home. With this truck you won’t have to spend $300 on a complete front brake service, you won’t have to spend $300 on a complete rear brake service, you won’t have to spend $250 on a tune-up and filters service, you won’t have to spend $250 on a coolant service and hoses, you wont have to spend $120 on a battery. With many of the other listings on Ebay, you’re lucky if they even check the oil before delivery. The cost new of this well equipped Durango SLT was over $33,000 back in 2001 so with tax, title and tags the original owner wrote a check for well over $35,000. CLICK HERE to see the price new. The Kelley Blue Book value for the truck is from $3,500 to $4,100 with an average of $3,800. CLICK HERE to see the Blue Book. I have the Buy It Now Price at over $500 below that. This is a two owner truck from southern Virginia since 2006 which is probably why the body is so clean and rust-free. CLICK HERE to see the title. The truck also has a clean Carfax. CLICK HERE to see the Carfax report. It comes with all the books:
Two factory Ram head keys, an emergency wallet key and two factory remotes:
Make sure the other Durango’s you may be looking at also have both remotes, as it will cost around $150 for a new one from the dealer with programming. And a front license plate bracket if you need it:
While most dealers just buy a vehicle to flip in a week or two, I bought this Durango at a dealer auction nearly two years ago after the end of 4X4 season because of the badass paint job. I put it in storage as I had no use for it then, but put it back on the road this January to use as one of my personal drivers during the numerous snowfalls of the winter, which is why I serviced it top to bottom. And I’m also passing on the savings in this Ebay auction. If instead of selling it back at a dealer auction I can sell it here on Ebay for a similar price and avoid dealer auction fees and transportation expenses, and the new owner gets the car at a true wholesale price, then both buyer and seller make out ahead. If you are looking for a Dodge Durango in good condition at a good price, then this truck is hard to beat. Also remember that we don’t charge dealer processing fees or document fees that many other listings have for $200 or more and bury in their fine print. And don’t be fooled by some other auctions that are advertised as NO RESERVE and start at $100 or some other low price. Since no dealer is going to risk losing thousands of dollars if their auction doesn’t bring enough money, you can be pretty sure he has some “people” bidding on it for him. Especially those auctions that are private listings where it says “User ID kept private.” Also, because my reserve is close to the Buy It Now price, don’t think that you will get a much better deal if you just keep bidding it up instead of using B.I.N., especially if you need it delivered. TERMS OF THE AUCTION ARE AS FOLLOWS: Since this truck may be advertised locally, auction can be canceled at any time (unless auction ended early with BUY IT NOW) due to prior sale without liability to any bidder. A down payment of $500 (plus any additional delivery charge) is required within 3 days of the close of the auction, balance due in cash on delivery or certified funds on delivery if I deliver it or you pick it up, or before it’s dropped off at the transporter if a shipping company is transporting it, but no later than 7 days after the close of the auction without prior agreement. I accept bank or certified checks, money orders, credit cards through PayPal (accepted for down payment only). If paying balance with funds other than cash, buyer to fax copy of monetary instrument no less than 24 hours before picking up vehicle. The truck is sold as is. Buyer is welcome to inspect truck BEFORE the end of the auction or to have someone check it out on your behalf provided you authorize whoever is checking the truck to provide me with a copy of the results. I have tried to accurately describe this truck, both mechanically and cosmetically but you can expect a certain amount of minor flaws on ANY used truck including squeaks, rattles, drips, nicks, chips, scratches, blemishes and any other marks that are consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle. There is no possible way to include all minute details and imperfections, however, I believe my listing accurately depicts this vehicle and if there are any issues they are noted in the description. Also remember that a vehicle is made up of thousands of mechanical parts and components and in an older or higher mileage used vehicle a part that is working fine now may go bad the next day, in a week, or a month from now. It’s nearly impossible to tell when a particular part or component will fail as most don’t exhibit prior symptoms, however, proper preventative maintenance as this truck has received, can prevent most problems or breakdowns from happening. In fairness to all bidders the reserve price will not be disclosed so please don’t even ask. Buyer responsible for transportation and truck must be paid for in full before it can be released. May deliver. Email or call for delivery quote or for any other questions. atikovi@email.com Maryland and District of Columbia dealer. Phone 202-246-5201. Please do not bid if you don’t intend to buy. FREE DELIVERY TERMS: Free delivery within 500 miles of the Washington DC area if bidder purchases vehicle with Buy It Now. (35 cents per mile for additional miles as shown in MapQuest.com from zip code 20001 to your address.) That is still the same rate as when I started on Ebay 14 years ago even with more than double the gas prices. Remember, the Buy It Now option disappears once the reserve price is met. The Buy It Now price is $3,295. AUCTION ENDS: 10:00pm sharp, EASTERN TIME Thursday April 17th unless Buy It Now is used. |

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
Rest of 2015.5 Dodge Viper lineup available after MSRP drop spurs sales uptick
Sun, Nov 30 2014The Dodge Viper has muscled its way back into buyers' good graces thanks to a $15,000 price drop across-the-board – and we're sure the extra five horsepower didn't hurt, either – posting a 26-percent year-to-date surge after the September realignment. No longer, uh, snakebitten, Dodge is now allowing dealers to place already-sold orders of the TA 2.0 Special Edition and GTS, both of which come with more goodies as standard than on the 2014 models they replace. The $101,995 TA wears a high performance Aero Package consisting of front lower dive planes, front splitter, competition rear spoiler, a dual-mode suspension supporting 18- or 19-inch matte black wheels on Pirelli PZero Corsa tires, two-piece Brembos rotors with black and orange calipers and performance pads, and a five-mode electronic stability control. We'll pretend to ignore features like a "rear carbon fiber applique" on a hardcore V10 sports car. The $107,995 GTS trim throws in Laguna leather seats as standard, an Alcantara headliner and an 18-speaker Harman Kardon system. It will also be the only model that can be had in Ceramic Blue with black stripes, orange brake calipers and GTS gloss black badging. And that rear carbon fiber applique, since it's apparently quite popular. The Connor Avenue plant where workers assemble the Viper by hand will begin production of the TA and GTS in November, the two models will appear in showrooms in Q1 of next year. A press release below has more information. Finally, it appears the only thing Connor Avenue builders looks like it finally has the work to keep everyone at work. {C} New 2015.5 Dodge Viper GTS and TA 2.0 Special Edition Models Now Available for Customer "Sold Orders" With New Pricing and More Content - Dodge Viper sales up 26 percent year-to-date since Dodge repositioned the hand-built exotic in September and reduced the starting price $15,000 - 2015 Dodge Viper's starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $84,995 (all prices exclude gas guzzler tax and destination) - New 2015.5 Viper GTS and TA 2.0 models now available for sold customer orders - Track-ready Viper TA 2.0 Special Edition builds on success of TA model; U.S. MSRP starts at $101,995 and adds high-performance Aero Package, competition rear spoiler and front lower dive planes for increased downforce and improved handling on the track - U.S.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
