We took a CRD Caliber in p/ex a couple of years ago, first and last. VW engine and gearbox and it actually drove well. Plasticky as fuck inside and the windscreen was the most expensive one I've ever done. I think it was about Ł400 ordered directly from Dodge because no-one else could source one. That's considerably more than most with all the sensors built in, like Jags and Mercs!

I've heard that's the biggest issue with them, getting the parts at a good price.

Also, I've seen one of those Avengers up close and they are fucking massive compared to a Leon!

Well he never went for the leon as it had a hell of alot of faults with it and then he has seen this dodge for Ł6000 on a 08 with 18k miles.

As for size i dont think its alot bigger than a focus?

where i used to work they also had a dodge/jeep dealer, few of the bosses had avengers to run around in, as said they have vw engine/gbox and dont actually go too bad but apart from that they are real shite, i mean for an 08plate with that miles on theres got to be a reason why, nobody wants them and another 2 year down the line its gonna be worth nothing, you have been warned

It's not so long since that Chrysler literally offered 50% discount and no-one wanted them new, so they changed it to BOGOF and they flew out the door.
