Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The inside is intact. It could use a shampoo, but there are no tears or rips. The outside has updated headlights to all clear. It used to have the orange turn lights and headlights, but I didn't care for that and ordered all clear. There are a few dings on the rig. The very bottom of the right door got squished in a little. Everything works,but the front right door bottom has a dinger. A zinger... It is still a great rid. I have a Mercedes E20 that I love too, but this Dodge is tapped into my adrenaline valves directly. I love driving it....You will too. So, it has a few dings. You will be kicking up so much dust as you pass them on the highway and on the trails that all they will see is you with that big grin on your face...."

I bought this Durango last year and I didn't know what to expect. I always liked the Durango's looks, but had never really driven one before.

I was much more than impressed when I first felt the power in this engine. I had to go online to see what the horse power was. It states that the 4.7 has 235hp and I can tell you that you will feel every one of those ponies when you drive it.

There was a vibration in the steering wheel when braking, so I just stepped up and had the front brakes completely redone. The steering vibration is now gone, but there is still a smaller vibration from the rear brakes, so it would probably be a good move to replace the rear brakes at some point. I will replace the rear pads and have the rotors turned on a lathe at NAPA for $150 extra if this is something you don't want to do. 90% of your braking power comes from the front brakes, so it will likely be fine to drive as it is for awhile since it has 0 miles on new front brakes.

I replaced the throttle position sensor about 6 months ago because I decided to pressure wash the dust off the engine while it was running and apparently that is not the right thing to do anymore with all of the computerized engine components these days. :) It scared the (insert exclamation here) out of me. Who would think that getting this one sensor wet could cause so much havoc. It would stall or surge at random times and it would stay in 1st gear up to like 60 mph before changing. I thought I really messed up and I am sure that had I taken it to an average shop, they would have got me coming and going, but I have a great shop up in Anacortes and they told me it was a $35 sensor that took 15 minutes to install. They charged me for the part and $25 for labor. It cleared up everything immediately and this thing really runs strong. It shifts healthy and clean. It has a bunch of miles showing, but you can't tell by driving. The guy I bought it from said the engine was rebuilt a few times in its life and you can feel it. There are no leaks and it does not burn oil. The sides and bottom of the engine are very dry and clean. It shows 265,999 miles, but it is a strong running, fun driving, powerful rig. It handles very well. The 4 wheel drive works extremely well. We only used it on a couple of occasions to test it and on ice its perfect, but I even backed it up an uneven steep hill to park it with for sale sign and at the top of the hill, one tire lifted 8" into the air. Most 4x4s would be stuck there with that airborne tire spinning freely. Not this one. I lightly stepped on the accelerator and it smoothly continued up the hill on 3 tires without one slipping tire or even a raised engine speed.

Towing... I have an F250 that is my towing beast. Generally, it can tow anything I put behind it. I searched and searched for accurate information today online, but all of these search engines just want to sell you stuff and you can't just ask a question anymore. From the best I could tell, the F250 weighs about 4300 pounds and according to all sources the 94 Pathfinder weighs 3900 pound (not true). Well, my Pathfinder has oversized tires, 12" of lift, an ARB Australian Winch Bull Bumper, plus a Warn 9000 winch inside of that bumper. That brings me up to 6600 lbs. I have weighed it myself. There is an additional issue this week, being that there is a complete new engine in the rear of the pathfinder so it has to weigh well over 7000lbs, being pulled by a 4300lb empty bed pickup. I was towing it through the mountains on a curvy road and the rear truck (Pathfinder), kept pushing my F250 through every turn. It was very stressful. When I got it home, I had to back it through a narrow gate up a very steep driveway with an empty bed light weight pickup. I tried several times and finally, I hooked up the Durango to it and I just drove it exactly where it needed to go in the yard with ease.

The tires had decent tread on them. The truck has nice alloy wheels all around. Has factory tow package that was optional too.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT NADA ON THEIR SITE. THIS RIG EXACTLY AS IT SITS SHOWS $3750 ROUGH AND $4859 AVERAGE BOOK...

I am not trying to get rich. I love this truck, but life is pushing and pulling on my wallet these days. I have to sell my baby, you will love it...

That's it. No shipping.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

Dodge hoping Fast & Furious appearance gives Dart a sales jolt [w/video]

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is hoping Fast & Furious 6 will be kind to the Dodge Dart. While the compact sedan doesn't actually show up in the film, Dodge has partnered up with the movie franchise for a new ad featuring the Dart.
Chrysler hasn't exactly seen the high sales numbers it was originally hoping for with the new sedan, thanks in part to a couple of missteps. For starters, most early-production vehicles were only offered with a manual transmission. Analysts believe Chrysler squandered around 95 percent of potential Dart sales because automatic transmission options weren't immediately available.
Right now, the Dodge Dart rakes 19th among compact cars, pulling down 31,064 sales through April. Last month was the company's strongest, with 8,099 units moving off of dealer lots. Unfortunately, the model has also been handicapped by its older sister, the Avenger. With Chrysler throwing heavy incentives at the aging sedan, many consumers have taken advantage of a better deal with the slightly larger, more powerful Avenger.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
