Automatic

It's the "Sport" model. Aside from hauling gear on vacation once a year, it has been driven conservatively--just to work and back. I'm a milquetoast driver with an office job--no rough care. We do not off-road or otherwise abuse it. We do not smoke. I always took it in for everything the manual called for. And there's all this, too!: CD, cassette, FM & AM bed-liner fog lamps rear seat folds up for extra storage 4-doors (rear doors open to the front) short-bed style automatic transmission tires look great--only 20,000 miles on them sliding rear window power windows power locks 4 wheel drive only two owners (I've had it since 1999) no upholstery wear! pretty darned clean, too! comes with a repair manual no oil leaks However, I want to be honest about these flaws: I've had to add water and coolant lately. Our mechanic says the thermostat failed a pressure test. You are welcome to call them at our local Dodge dealership for any and all details. The front axle broke driving in the snow in 4 wheel drive two winters ago. A friend-of-a-friend replaced it and that seems fine now, but the 4WD light stays illuminated ever since. (It still seems to shift in and out of 4WD just fine--it's just that the light is always lit.) Both main doors have rust at the bottom (see photos). There are shallow dents in both rear quarter panels due to very low speed driveway accidents as the kids learned to drive (see photos). (There has never been any accident on the road.) Shortly after I bought it, some paint started peeling from the driver's front bumper (see photo). Gray primer is exposed. There is an after-market alarm system (installed by the first owner) and remote starter but you have to be standing close to the vehicle to use the remote. I rarely used it. I drove it to work every day of my life until last week and feel it has a lot of good mileage left in it, but the coolant system needs some work. You drive it away. It is sold as-is. I'd prefer Pay-Pal but would discuss other cashier's check or cash. Please bring your driver's license when you pick up the vehicle.
