I liked it because its got cloth seats instead of the pleather seats they sometimes use. The cloth seats are way more comfortable and way more durable than the "fancy" seats they put in the limited models. Never hot in the summer, never cold in the winter, and no rips, tears, burns or anything else. The interior is as good as the exterior. My son loves the Durango because he says its so clearly made for a man to drive. My wife doesn't like it for the same reason.
Anyway, its in PERFECT condition, and looks like its brand new. It doesn't even have brake dust baked in to the front alloys. It literally looks like a 5 year old brand-new car with 67,000 miles on it. It has the AM/FM, CD player with Sirius Satellite built in (works great, yes, I am a subscriber). The thing has bluetooth built-in from the factory too, but the proprietary "UConnect" system Chrysler installs in its vehicles is not as good as some of the other systems, so I had a Parrot 9100 installed in addition. The Parrot is the gold standard for bluetooth systems, so it made sense to add it to the car since it has streaming technology built in and the factory bluetooth only works with the phone. It has bucket seats up front, a triple folding seat in the middle row and a fold-down third row as well. Seats 7 comfortably, and 8 is fine too, though three in the back row gets a little tight.
The thing runs and drives great, has buckets of power when necessary, and is completely utilitarian. The tires and brakes are like new, and it has a nice Draw-Tight hitch system installed. With 355 horses running, it can pull a house if you want it to. It does not have a sunroof. That's another reason why I liked the car. I hate sunroofs.
Unfortunately, because my wife doesn't like the car, I've got to sell it because I just can't afford to keep both the Durango and my other car at the same time, and my other car has a very strong emotional tie to it.
There's not a whole lot of room in the price though, so don't bother making low offers. I need to get very close to what I'm asking because that's what I still owe on the car. The good news is, the price I'm asking is well under retail anyway, so you won't find another '08 HEMI with low miles any cheaper, and absolutely not in the kind of fantastic condition my car is in. And oh by the way, its also got an extended warranty on it, which I think is able to be assigned to a new owner. I think its got about 4 more years on the warranty!

Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
