 I bought this car used in 2001. There was only one previous owner before me, who drove the car for business trips. This previous owner smoked in the car. However, I have now owned it for 13 years, and I did/do not smoke in the car, so the smell should be long gone! Please note that there are some cigarette burns in the seat cushions.

This is a good car that has been very reliable and has lasted me a long time. It has never stalled on me. I am selling this car because I just got a new one. I loved this car, but I don't know anything about fixing to taking care of cars, so an older car is very difficult and expensive for me to maintain. I think the best fit for this car would be someone who works on cars or knows enough about them to do simple repairs on their own. I think it could still be a great car for years to come with the proper care and maintenance that I just can't give.

Back around 2005 I had to have the engine completely replaced, so it has a newer engine. The car is definitely getting old, but major systems still work: brakes, transmission, engine, etc. The air conditioner and heater still work great. The power windows and seats work great. So does the interior lighting. Please not that the windshield wipers need repair. They aren't turning on, and it could just be a fuse. I think the fuse in the headlights is blown as well, but the brights are still working just fine.

I believe that the right rear shock may need to be replaced because it makes some rattling noises when hitting bumps in the road. Brakes work fine. Power steering is great. It is due for an oil change.

There are some cosmetic issues as well - a large dent in the rear bumper, some scrapes and dents around the car. Nothing terrible that has damaged the frame or hinders driving. The car has never (with me, I can't speak to the original owner, but I remember the Carfax looked good) been in an accident. The paint is also oxidizing, and there are some rust marks around the exterior trim.

The original radio and cassette player were removed to make room for a store-bought CD player, which is still installed in the car, and you can have. However, the CD player doesn't latch properly anymore, so while it still works, you may want to replace it.

As far as mechanical problems, I can only say that the car runs just fine, and it has always been reliable for me. I'm not sure what will need fixing and when, but it is good to go for now. This car is very big and roomy. I've moved several times in this car and I've always been amazed at how much I can fit in it. It accelerates quickly and feels powerful to drive. It is a wide car and it doesn't blow all over the road when it's windy. A very sturdy ride.

I just need to sell this car. I know that it isn't worth much, and that's fine. At this point I just need to get it out of my driveway. My registration expired around the time I was getting my new car, so I haven't taken it in for a pre-sell tune up. I also know at that point, I won't make any money on the sale. I didn't use this car as a trade in because I bought a hybrid and my dealership wasn't interested in buying this make and model.

I paid the car off back in 2006, and I have the title free and clear. I am willing to sell it to a private buyer or a dealership. I've been very upfront and honest about my knowledge of the car, and I cannot guarantee that there will not be problems with it in the near or distant future. This is its current status. I would caution you to please not buy this car if you either cannot work on it yourself, or are not willing to put some money into it to fix it up - it is 18 years old!

Dodge Durango gets performance Mopar options for R/T, SRT

Thu, Feb 8 2018

Fiat Chrysler is showing new performance add-ons for the 2018 Dodge Durango R/T and SRT models at the Chicago Auto Show, including the familiar Dodge dual center stripes and a new Mopar exhaust system. The 475-horsepower SRT model, which is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, will also offer a lowering spring kit and a carbon-fiber instrument panel. The signature two-stripe treatment blankets the three-row SUV from the front to rear fascia and is tailored to the signature NACA duct-hood vent. It'll come in five different colors — bright blue, flame red, gunmetal low gloss (metallic finish), low-gloss black and sterling silver — and retail for $1,195 starting in March. View 7 Photos Mopar developed its new bolt-on performance exhaust systems with Dodge SRT engineers and designers to improve flow and achieve that sweet sound. It features a chromium 304 stainless steel construction to make it more resistant to corrosion, with stainless steel band-style clamps and welded and polished 4-inch tips. It costs $1,595 for the Durango R/T and is available now. On the SRT, the price goes up to $1,850, with the package available in the second quarter. New Mopar springs improve the Durango SRT's high-speed cornering stability and consistency by lowering the SUV an average of 15 millimeters, or 0.6 inches. They were developed with proprietary Dodge SRT data not available to the aftermarket to tune the lowering springs to the factory dampers, giving the vehicle less rear-end squat during acceleration, less nose dive while braking and reduced body roll on corners. MSRP on the package, which is available now, is $325. For just under $2,500 you can get the SRT Interior Appearance Group package, which adds a premium-wrapped carbon-fiber instrument panel and door bezels, Dinamica soft-touch headliner and accent paint on speaker trim rings. The Chicago Auto Show is open to the public Feb. 10-19.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
