Low Mileage Used Bargain!

Our family drives them until they die so we looked hard and ever vehicle before we bought. We bought a used 2017 GT AWD with very low mileage on it. BARGAIN! 12K under new cost! We added the extended Warranty for $1,500 (7 years 100k miles bumper to bumper) for sanity sake. Be aware that on ANY new vehicle if any part of the electronics goes out....A 3K bill will be waiting for you!!! So far we have had zero issues. Vehicle is tight, no rattles, clangs, or bangs. We paid close attention to the Carfax and where the vehicle came from so we knew what we were getting. For the price you can't touch the features this comes with. It's loaded!! Nothing comes close. We looked and looked an compared and compared and again nothing came close. My wife loved that it doesn't look like every other SUV as well. It does ride a bit stiffer than other SUV's, but not an issue for us. The infotainment system is by far the most user friendly to use compared to others out there. It all makes sense. As an FYI, this vehicle is the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Mercedes GLK. We spent a lot of time getting in and out of many 3rd rows. This could seat adults fairly comfortably (Equal to a Ford Explorer). The second row heated seats are such a bonus too. I wouldn't pay the price for new one(let someone else take the hit!), but as a low mileage used SUV it's a standout for Price/Features. If you add a trailer hitch can take it to the dealer and have them add the towing feature to the computer.

First American Vehicle ever bought

Yup, I've had Volvos, BMWs, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota and Mazda in all the years I've been buying cars and this is the 1st American car I've ever owned and so far, so good. I love the vehicle and the entertainment system is very good. The one thing I'm wondering about is the feature for shutting the engine off automatically when the car is stopped. It's an auto stop feature for the engine and I'm wondering if this will cost the engine premature wear and tear. Yes, it can be shut off but I like knowing it helps to preserve gas and can bump up your MPG by 1.

Purchased a '17 DD GT with 25k miles. 4 years later, currently at 66k miles. No issues. Drives the day we purchased it. Love the look, ride comfort, etc. No complaints.

Car is like new. Has all the options of a brand new vehicle, without the new car price. Handles great in the snow.

It WAS a good vehicle

I loved this vehicle when I first bought it used in 2020. It was 3 years old. It's now 6 years old and while it's been great with my 2 kids and 3 dogs for size, it's blown a head gasket. Our local mechanic said he's been seeing this a lot in this engine and to check the power train warranty. It's 5 years or 60K miles. This is 6 years old and at 80K miles I'm out $4400 to fix this. The market is INSANE right now with vehicle purchases but I'm going to start the search for a new one because of this is going to start breaking at 6 years old even with all the daily maintenance requirements I'm all set owning another Durango. I still owe a decent chunk of change on this as well and fearing how much more is going to start breaking on me. Beware of your warranty when purchasing this.
