2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab Slt 4x2 Hemi 5.7 on 2040-cars
Surprise, Arizona, United States
|
Hello. Up for auction is a beautiful 2008 Dodge Ram Mega Cab SLT 1500 4X2 with the 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Engine and 5-speed Automatic Transmission. Exterior color is Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat Paint and interior is a gorgeous Medium Slate Grey. One senior owner with 29,301 original miles (mileage may go up slightly). Vehicle is in great condition with bright paint and a very clean interior. No accidents and will be 100% on any report. Clean/clear Arizona title. Owners manual and all documentation that I have will be included.
KBB is at $25,037 Interior: Never smoked in and has never seen snow or harsh weather, as it has been mostly garaged since bought brand new. No rips, tears, or stains on the seats, nor any cracks in the dash pad. Dash cover is in like new condition and has been on since 2008. Everything electrical works (6-way drivers side seat, radio, CD player, MP3 player, 12v auxiliary power outlet, A/C controls, defroster, all 4 windows go up and down like new, instrument gauges all work, rear sliding window, horn, windshield wipers, cruise control, cargo lamp, headlights, taillights, 3rd brake light, directional blinkers, interior lighting, power adjustable brake and gas pedal, dimming mirror with outside temp and direction, etc). Front passenger side seat manually adjusts easily. Rear seats have actually only been sat in a couple of times and fold down easily for more storage. Massive amount of leg room in the rear. All glass is clear with no cracks. Door panels are clean (no cracks, stains, etc), weatherstripping is soft, and door jambs are clean. Headliner is like new and the truck still has the "new vehicle" smell. Floor mats are original and in good shape with most of the wear being on the drivers side. Exterior: Paint is clean and in great shape with no fading. Chrome is nice and shiny with no pitting. No rust obviously as this vehicle has never left Arizona. All emblems have been removed except the factory SXT stickers on the rear. Being as this was my fathers vehicle and he was older, he scratched the passenger side rear quarter (see picture) and lightly backed into a light pole on the drivers side (see picture). I replaced the drivers side taillight because it was cracked, and bought paint from the Avondale Dodge dealership to touch up that area. A very small dent remains that is not noticeable until close viewing. Headlights are bright and clear. Front mud flaps were installed after getting it home from the dealership so there aren't any stone chips along the side of the vehicle. Engine bay was always kept clean in the garage. Antenna delivers great sound quality to the radio. Rear of the truck is pretty clean and a bed/tailgate mat was installed shortly after the vehicle was purchased to protect it. This is a truck and it was used a few times to haul some things from Home Depot so there are a few scratches on the bed. Vehicle used to have a soft tonneau cover on that was removed (no holes were drilled...it installed with clamps). License plate lights work as they should. Please remember this vehicle has been driven nearly 29,500 miles and has small imperfections. Mechanical: Engine oil and filter have been changed every 2,500 miles or less with Castrol GTX 5w20. A new battery was installed in June of 2013. Air filter replaced approximately 5,000 miles ago. Tires are all matching Michelin LTX MS2 265/70R/17. These tires were installed at 19,900 miles and have a 70,000 mile warranty with lifetime balancing (documentation will be provided to new owner for this warranty). No fluid leaks anywhere. No warning or check engine light. Brakes stop quickly with no pulsing, pulling, squeaking, or any noises, and I was recently told there is 65-70% of the pads left, on all 4 wheels. As this truck has been lightly driven, the steering and whole suspension is still very tight and goes straight down the road. Transmission shifts smooth to every gear and this vehicle has never carried/towed anything heavier than a few bags of cement, some lumber, and a Christmas tree. A/C blows hard and is ice cold in the summer with the heater being very hot in the winter. Vehicle has never overheated or had any drivability issues. Repairs: In June of 2011, at 9,750 miles, the vehicle was taken to the Avondale Dodge dealership in Avondale, AZ for a "J10" recall involving the windshield wiper motor. Service was completed and I will send the documentation of this to the new owner. Also at this time, my father did not believe the A/C was blowing cold enough so he had them check this, as well. They found the system was 6oz low on freon so they evacuated the system, let it set in vacuum to check for pressure loss, it held vacuum, so they charged the system back up to specifications and found no leaks. There have been no issues since. Leak dye was also added to the system so in case of any future freon leakage, the new owner will know exactly where it's coming from without paying for more freon and more dye. In June of 2013, at 21,057 miles, the vehicle had a "service engine" light illuminate and go off within a few driving cycles. It was taken to Larry H Miller Dodge in Avondale, AZ and they found no DTC's in the system. While the truck was there, they performed a power train inspection. I will include this documentation to the new owner, as well. In August of 2013, at 23,002 miles, the vehicle had a "service engine" light illuminate and stay on so the vehicle was taken back to the dealership that it was purchased from, Jim Click Dodge in Tucson, AZ. It was for a code P0456 (evaportative emissions system - small leak detected). The ESIM switch was replaced and PCM was updated to latest software. For good measure, I replaced the fuel cap as well (was told another common problem is the original gas cap gasket). No service engine light since and no issues. I will include this documentation to the new owner, as well. Story: You may be asking yourself why I am selling this truck with such low mileage and in such good condition. As mentioned above, this was my fathers vehicle and he has since passed away. Originally, he bought this truck because of its size, power, and comfort (he was a big guy). He had dreams of towing a boat behind it but unfortunately, he ran into multiple health issues that eventually took his life. Neither myself nor my mother need a vehicle of this size anymore so, it is now up for sale to someone who could use it for what it was intended to do. It truly is a nice vehicle and I firmly believe the new owner will be very happy with this purchase. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or the need for additional pictures of something specific. I will answer questions and picture requests as quickly as I possibly can.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]
Fri, Nov 21 2014First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.
