yeah 80k miles and I agree the price is fair. It's actually 7900 which is still fair. Hopefully I'll get it for like 7500 or so.

dude the rs2.5 insurance is expensive as balls. $1250/year and i dont have any accidents. This makes no sense at all... it's the same price as a A4



The WRX 2004 is the #1 stolen car in quebec that year. It's also the #1 in average amounts per claim in 2004. Insurance woul be a killer fo sho. It's actually a deal killer for me too... 1200$ for a 7K car

I don't like dodge. I think they make shit products with even shittier transmissions and even shittier still interiors. Driving an old beat ass RAM is trash, sorry DarkStarr but it is. The Durango is just a RAM with a bed box.

not to derail, but what would be you pick as far as a truck goes?

While I would give my nut to own a new F-250/350 diesel, You wouldn't catch me daily driving a 1995 Dodge Ram/F-150/etc.

lee is right!


I bought my 1999 dodge durango brand new (5.2l v8)
and it's the biggest piece of shit ive ever owned.

I can't even begin with all the problem ive had
new tranny at 60,000
2 set of defective ball joints,before a 100,000miles
about 10 sensors,before 100,000miles

dodge rams are not bad trucks
dodge durangos are pos.
that's my 2cents
