No Chrysler Product Complaints Here
I have owned/leased numerous Chrysler products over the years.... three Dodge/Chrysler minivans, a Chrysler 200, two Chargers, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, PT Cruiser, two Dodge Neons, two Chrysler Pacificas, a Dodge Avenger. I think that about covers it. Mopar supporter all the way. Only had issues with the Jeep Cherokee, which Chrysler replaced for me, but all others were well put together and flawless in function and fun to drive. I am not a big fan of foreign-built vehicles, realizing that a few of the Chrysler products come from Canada and Mexico, but not Japan. Consumer Reports is in my opinion a garbage publication and would never put any credibility in anything they ever have to say. They do not offer any real statistical data; only opinions. JD Power is a much better source because the data comes from actual consumers/drivers of the vehicles. All companies have their problems, including the Japanese. I owned a couple of Toyotas, a Honda, and Nissan that were no better, and sometimes worse, than their domestic competitors.
That being said, the deal that you were stating on the Durango was not a good one just because of the age, miles, and price, especially with the extended warranty. You certainly can find many other deals out there, domestic or not, that far exceed the value you would have been getting. I think you did the right thing buying domestic and getting the Chevy truck. Enjoy!
