2000 Dodge Durango STL 2WD review from North America
"Definitely not a lemon!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has been wrong with my Durango is the clear coat was flaking. I brought it up to the service manager and it was repainted and back on the road in 5 days. That's why there's a warranty.
General comments?
I love my Durango. If you're here to gripe about the fuel mileage it states it on the window sticker. I put a Flowmaster series 40 in place of the stock muffler, and yes it's louder, but I'm getting 22 miles on the highway and 15 in town.
My grandparents like it due to the fact it's easy to get in and out of.
The ride is great.
With the great financing I could afford a $30,000 instead of a $20,000 vehicle. For those "suckers" that paid $40,000, I got everything but the 5.9, leather and the center console. That's not worth $10,000.
As far as a warranty goes on small parts (I.e. switches, latches), if you're just outside your warranty period go talk to the sales person that sold it to you or the relations manager. You'd be surprised how far you make it.
