Most Dodge products tend to be of poor quality and a 2014 is almost 10 years old. If nothing else it will need a lot of scheduled service soon like plugs, timing belt, and accessory belt.
Look at anything Honda, Toyota, or Mazda. Or a budget option is newer Hyundai/Kia.
No offense intended, I appreciate the effort but I know cars and I know my market. I'm asking for actual owner feedback.
Anything here 10 years old and with under 100,000kms in the large softroader category from tier 1 reliability brands starts at $20k and you're usually talking base models. I know FCA isnt the best thats why a fully loaded v6 with low milage is in his price range. Its biggest competition the "Holden Captiva" is a rebadged Daewoo that actually gets worse reliability ratings than the Journey.
Just for comparison sake, the cheapest 2nd gen Highlander with under 100,000kms and 7 seats is a 2012 with 22k, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 $24k and the Kia Sorrento 2015 $23k. The Journey... $13k.
I know the price is compelling but you can pay more now for a decent vehicle or pay for frequent repairs on a crappy vehicle while not having use of that vehicle.
I'd rather get double the miles with any other brand
Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products severely dropped in quality after they were purchased by Fiat. After 2008 quality dropped a little, but before 2008 the products werent as low quality as they are now.
