I have been looking for a new work vehicle for awhile. I was looking at used Dakotas and Rams for under $10,000. Either they had 200,000 miles or salvaged titles. Yesterday I got a call from a friend that their neighbor was selling a 2006 Durango Went to look at it and bought it.
It turned out to be a one owner vehicle
2003 Dodge Durango SLT 2wd 4.7 V8, auto Leather seats and best of all 29,516 miles
Cleaned it up today, she turned out pretty nice.

Congrats on the new ride.
I love that body style Durango.
I like that body style way better then the 2004 I picked up last fall.
I really don't care for the newer body style but it was cheap because it needed the 5.7 Hemi replaced,. It had put a rod through the side of the block. I should have the replacement engine ready to fire up soon.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Yeah, when I heard it was a 2006, I was think of your body style, when I pulled around the corner and saw it was a 2003, I was I like that style better.

I never got into Durangos or Dakotas. The round ones looked like a squished Ram. Which I guess is a good thing since you could tell they were related. I liked the 2005 Dakota but the same style Durango looks like a 4 door minivan or something Nice find tho.. that's crazy low miles.

My sister had one of that generation. She loved the thing...until the engine went. Then, trying to find a replacement, forget that. The engine was definitely the weak link on them
