We could not have attracted more attention if we'd been in a $100,000 MercedesBenz. The welldressed group was shivering in the damp Washington weather, waiting at the valet booth after seeing a musical at the Kennedy Center. BMWs, Audis, Grand Cherokees and other fine cars attracted nary a glance as they were delivered to their owners. Then the valet rolled forward in our freshly washed flame red Dodge Durango. Its big Ram grille and broad Freightliner fenders loomed out of the darkness and into the flood lights accompanied by the burbling V8. We had to smile at the soft "wows" and "ohs" from the upscale crowd as we tipped the attendant, climbed in and drove away. With its bigrig look, the Durango always looks ready, whether it's heading down a primitive road or parked at the shopping center. Based on the Dodge Dakota pickup, the Durango is bigger than the Ford Explorer, but not as big as the Ford Expedition or Chevy Tahoe. So if you're like Goldilocks, then you might find the Durango just right.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1999 Dodge Durango, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1999 Dodge Durango for less money than when it was new. If the 1999 Dodge Durango was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1999 Dodge Durango is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1999 Dodge Durango will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1999 Dodge Durango is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
