This Durango runs reliably but does need work typical of it's age and mileage. It is driven daily thus the mileage is an estimate, slightly higher than the current reading. The v8 is powerful for it's size and the 4wd makes this vehicle very snow capable. As shown in the pictures, it still looks good but there is rust taking its toll. The rockers are essentially gone, door corners and rear hatch are beginning to rust as well. The frame however is surprisingly clean. I've only had the vehicle for a year, so I do not know the history of this vehicle. Due to the rust I would not expect fixing this 100% to be practical, instead I would recommend this vehicle for someone that needs good transportation and 4wd but is on a modest budget and does their own mechanical work. The starting price in lieu of a reserve reflects this. I replaced the front pads and rotors last night, recently replaced power steering pump, heater core and I have a new muffler and tailpipe not yet installed. Check engine light is on, reads a code for inefficient operation of catalytic. In addition to the rust mentioned there are small dents and dings in the hood and fenders. The leather seats appear to have been added by prior owner from another Durango. The driver seat is worn but OK, the rest are very good, including the 3rd row (usually folded down). I'm available most evenings if you want to inspect prior to bidding.On Feb-26-14 at 17:57:52 PST, seller added the following information: The existing exhaust is rusty and the muffler is starting to peel off the outer layer, thus I purchased the new pieces. Despite this it is still very quiet. The new muffler is not yet installed because I was debating buying the cat before a family friend offered me his car. Rear tires are Cooper AT3 a nice aggressive tire with about 75% tread. The front tires were on it when I got it and are likely less than 20% left. The spare is on the same aluminum rim as the other tires, not a cheap steel spare.
