After 9 years with my RHD Vauxhall Vectra MkII I started to think about a new daily driver, as the now 12 year old car with 156.000 Brit.Miles on the clock starts getting more age and attrition problems.
Since a long time I thought about having a fat V8, but there were several disturbing details, as I'm picky and freaky about that:
fat engine, but no leather seats, no sunroof and no electronic junk. All this display-GPS-touchscreen-beeping-stuff makes me aggressive. I hate that.
When I visited my parents living nearby Hannover, my wife -she stayed at home- looked just for fun for the local offers - and saw a Dodge Durango with an incredible low mileage for a very good price - and with an unusual total basic interior.
She became very upset -me a bit, too-, because in the ad it was said, that the car is reserved for this price until Friday - but the shop was closed now.
She wrote to me "Look at the car! Try to reach somebody!", but I couldn't spot it.
I haven't noticed it before, although our doggie made twice a poo just 10 meters away.
Back home we wrote a mail to the dealer. He wrote back, that a lady wants to have the Durango in every case, that it's her dreamcar and so on, but she didn't come with the money.
So he was a bit pissed and said "If you come tomorrow, you can have it".
So yesterfay I worked just a few hours in the morning and drove again the 250 km to my parents village to check the car
- and I liked it a lot!
Mint condition very low mileage and and unbeatable price, so I bought it
It was used before as an advertisement car of a travel agency for North America travelling, so the low mileage.
As the previous owner put sticker foil on the car, the paint is as new.
And what's up with Argentina?
Chrysler has built 30 of these Durangos for the Argentinian border patrol - but Argentina didn't pay them.
So this dealer took these 30 Durangos en bloc and sold them in Europe.
My car, too. The previous owner bought a Dodge Ram now from him, so he took the car back for selling again.
It's an unique version, which was never officially available by Chrysler:
5.7 V8 fuel engine, but basic interior.
Cloth seats, no sunroof, no touchscreen-entertainment system and instead of a second back seat a flat luggage compartment with big boxes under the bottom.
So I'm very proud and happy now, that I could catch this once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity
photos may come later, the ad is still online, maybe for a few hours:
