Picked Up A New Dd
#1
Bought a Stone white 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT. Fully Loaded, leather, TPMS, Sunroof, bluetooth hands-free, 4X4, Tow package, heated seats/mirros, blah, blah, blah...this is based off the Jeep liberty, but extended in the back for more trunk space.

Its nice to put the stroller in a trunk without having to remove its wheels. Bigger bonus is I can now fit my dog AND the stroller in the back. Lots and lots of room in the back seats too. The baby seat has tons of room, nothing like the impreza.

We picked up the SUV at the Manheim Auction for $14500. After taxes, etest, safety and auction fees, the price was a tad over $17k. We test drove the same ones here, and the dealerships were asking anywhere between $16 900-$19 900, so I think we got a great deal.

Needs a good cleaning, once that is done, i will post some pics. So far I really enjoy it and my wife loves it.

Flo, just make sure it's up todate on the recalls, and is not leaking tranny fluid or oil. otherwise enjoy it, though you should have gone for the 2008 as then you could have got one with Chrysler's My Gig system in it, and you would have had Nav, and the Sirius option.

( for those that don't know what My Gig is, it's a very dumb down version of the Sync system ford has )

I already had it fully inspected, needed front brakes, and a hand brake adjustment for the safety, and I havent seen any oil or tranny fluid on my driveway from the driveback to Ottawa. Its going in for the fluid changes at the end of the month, will do the tranny fluid, coolant, brake, etc...start fresh.

I originally wanted an 08, trying to stay away from 1st year vehicles....learned that with my focus, but couldnt find a slt model with under 70k for 17k taxes in....

Spent the day clay barring & polishing the paint, a white vehicle is going to be interesting but it sure does look good when its clean. :D

Like I've always said, its going to be hard for me to get back into a fwd car.

I have a Suzuki sx4 right now for a rental (my wrx got rear ended by a truck) and I'm smoking the tires all over the road :rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I love the extra room. So nice to bring my son and dog on the same trip now. BMW will be getting parted out this summer.

-New drivers side taillights
-New Trunk Lid
-New Rear Bumper

About $2200 damage. Pick it up tomorrow morning.
