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.

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education
Mon, May 4 2015The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.
Dodge Journey recalled for freezing fluid lines
Sun, May 8 2016The Basics: FCA is recalling 10,944 examples of the 2009-16 Dodge Journey - specifically those equipped with the optional engine block heaters and located in extremely cold climates. The Problem: Power steering fluid lines may leak when starting the engine in extremely cold weather, which would increase the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle. Injuries/Deaths: FCA reports that it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The fix: The manufacturer is working on expediting replacement parts to resolve the issue in those vehicles potentially affected. If you own one: Expect to hear from the manufacturer soon to arrange service. Your chances of being affected are higher if you live in Canada, where a far greater number – estimated at 187,436 – of Journeys may be affected. Related Video: STATEMENT: FLUID LINE May 6, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 10,944 U.S.-market midsize crossover vehicles equipped with optional block heaters to address fluid-line durability in extreme, cold-weather conditions. An investigation found some lines carrying power-steering fluid may leak at engine start-up, when the vehicle is subject to extreme cold. Steering is not lost in such circumstances. However, if a vehicle is so-affected, the amount of physical effort required to steer may increase. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Affected are certain model-year 2009-2016 Dodge Journey vehicles. An estimated 187,436 vehicles in Canada are also subject to this recall. Replacement parts are expected to become available soon. Affected customers will be notified accordingly. FCA US urges customers to follow the instructions on all recall notices. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
