hi and thnx. back in '04-05, jeep was knocking the explorer, chevy tried with the (trail)blazer, but it was Dodge that really nailed it in my mind. just the right size, body on frame construction, great 4.7 V8 standard with AWD. this recent body style change made the difference even greater. nicely styled, modern interior, plenty of room and a great value. this is a nice one owner vehicle with just 64k actual miles, and it looks it.
this Dodge is a little unusual in that it was as give back to the bank (I have title and all paperwork in hand). the lender was a very large local credit union, and the previous owner simply had to give the car back due to health reasons. how little they drove this Durango makes me understand. at just over 6000 miles a year, this baby barely had time to stretch her legs, let alone get pushed hard. the ride and drive are great, engine smooth as silk, 4x4 and more, full power, windows, locks, cruise, tilt, gauges, stereo, a/c, abs, air bags and more !@! something like a 4 year old car in ride and performance.
but, it is an older SUV and not perfect. we had it at the mechanic's for a check up and wound up replacing the power steering pump owing to a small seal leak, front brakes were serviced with new pads and rotors, a/c was charged up and a bulb or two replaced. that's it, all done... oh, then it went to the tire store for a new front tire (had a small bubble in old tire sidewall) and they gave it a 4 wheel alignment for good measure. I kept the receipts and it was a good chunk of money, but better it is behind me than pass on a problem to next owner.
great engine and tranny, awd, cold /ac, great on the road, or for errands around town or blasting down the highway at 75 mph. clean, smooth, comfy and reliable. these cars came from Chrysler with a 7 year 100,000 warranty, and I can see why. they built great cars and SUV's, about as good as you get. drive in style, with confidence and the security of all wheel drive, 24/7.
there are a couple of things that go beyond worthy of fixing: there is damage to the rear bumper cover right side and middle, there is a light wear tear in driver's seat cushion, right front fender has some damage and paint chips (hard to photo), spare tire and the two rear tires are showing wear, normal enough - they don't last forever.
so, just bid and buy, drive it home. clean title, car, key, emissions, etc. no issues, just gas and go. please see all photos carefully, I took all the good and the bad. feel free to email or call anytime, I am happy to help. or, just come by and say hello, take a test drive and you will be convinced.

Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
