Well, I got a truck finally. 2005 Dodge Durango Limited with the 5.7 Hemi. It caught my eye one night when I was browsing through Craigslist. Did the KBB.com on it and found they were selling it at private party prices. Went, got them down to 10500 with 90K miles.
I could help but think...
See, that to me is the backward logic; with respect to a monthly payment. It doesn't make sense to pay a higher monthly payment due to higher cost of vehicle with the "extra" goodies: The monthly payment won't decrease after I sold the goodies I didn't want.
;-)
How bout he sell me the...
So I looked at a 98 today. The seats were nicer than the others I've looked at but the owner had a dog and hair was all over the roof liner.
Has some scratches, smudges on plastic bumpers, prolly needs a new muffler, definitely needs new tires and had several rust spots above the front...
My thoughts right now are that the truck has too many goodies on it for what I need. I'd be paying for and insuring those goodies I may never use. So this truck is easily worth the asking price but for me, since I don't need all the goodies it has, I'd be spending more than I can justify...
Some questions for you or people who have seen the vehicle.
1. Who has seen/inspected this vehicle and what were your thoughts? One person posted...that's it?
2. I don't see a winch listed, which is fine, just want to verify that winch is not part of the sale?
3. No aftermarket lockers...
Kinetic dynamic suspension system.
Why wouldn't I want it? Does it need to be removed to do the OME lift? I read on a thread if a person wanted long arm lift then they would not want kdss. That's all I know.
Thanks.
what, no answers to his questions? Well, I'd like to know also. Although I've done some reading of my own and have a good idea of what will be written.
To the OP: From what I've read so far the only thing most people don't like about the GX is the rear "barn door" which I must say, as I...
I searched for plywood but no threads reveal whether or not the back is wide enough to fit a sheet of plywood or sheetrock in. Just wondering about this. I am considering purchasing a 120 Series (GX) over an LX470 but I'm concerned if I get the GX I won't be able to do the weekend chores that...
So I went and looked at another LX today. It is kindof in shambles. Right next to it was a 2005 Gx470 120 series. I took it for a spin. The VVTI engine was strikingly more powerful and I'd guess the Gx is lighter than an LX so that probably added to the contrast in power.
I saw the Gx had...
Yeah, I calculate the 04, with NEW addons, is probably closer to 22 or 23 thousand. Base truck price the 04 will be about 1100 more just for the year newer and about 1000 more for the lower mileage. Plus the 03 wants full value for the addons as if they were brand new. 03 in my opinion is...
Okay, this one made me ponder trying for a bit newer rig. I have a question about it though: what the heck are foam cell shocks?

Also, what could be wrong with a steering rack at 88K?
Let me know how it turns out with the previous PM/offer. Any chance you have 16" rims? I have a set of tires I'd like to mount on 16"s for it.
I am in Colorado Springs.
I eliminated 98 and 99 because an LX will not have a locker. The flip side is that a 98/99 LC will not have AHC. So, to get some flavor of both and stay in my price range I'd have to go with 2000 to 2003 LX. Correct me if I am missing something.
Unless of couse the 98/99 LC had a lift and a...
Anyone in Washington can check out a vehicle for me?

Also, in the pictures, the picture of the shifter, what are the two buttons to the left. They say PWR and 2nd.???
Note to self: The green colors that I like are Midnight Pine (6S6) or Imperial Jade (6Q7). Of course the name changes between the years for the same paint code. 6S6 is Dark Green in some years and called Midnight Pine in others. 6Q7 is called Dark Green in some years and is Imperial Jade in...
