I actually bought a 2006 Dodge Durango brand new off of a dealership parking lot. I have been very satisfied with it. It just rolled over 100,000 miles and I haven't had any mechanical trouble to speak of (knock on wood). I would be happy to purchase another one. I love the make and model of this one.

This is the second Dodge Durango that I have owned, and it is the second one that has had transmission problems. It can be a bit finicky while trying to switch gears. Also, the breaks have had constant problems with squeaking that I've never been able to get fixed at the shop. The bumpers are made of tissue paper, and it rusts horribly. Overall, what I paid for it is fair considering the use that I've gotten out of it. The trunk is spacious when the far back seats are folded down, and it fits a good amount. It is also a good option for towing capacity and seating a fair number of people. As a commuter vehicle, I wouldn't recommend it because the gas mileage is so poor. I get maybe 14 mpg combined highway/city. For a fourteen-year-old car, it's still driving well. So I can't complain too much, and I've never had a problem with it turning over during the winter, which was a problem I had with the '99 Durango I owned previous to this one. The power locks were flaking out when I bought it four years ago, and now some of the doors simply won't lock with the power locks anymore. Also, the alarm will go off if the doors were locked whether I unlock it with the key or not. If you are in a pinch and can buy one for really cheap, go for it, but if you have options, I wouldn't recommend it at all.
