The Dodge Durango is a large size sport utility vehicle with four doors. It can seat up to eight people and has been a well known standard bearer for the Dodge label. It can handle off road terrain as well as large trips to the grocery store.

The Durango is powerful, boldly designed and, surprisingly, quite refined. The vehicle has a large load capacity with 100 cubic feet of cargo space and, with the Hemi engine, can tow up to 8,950 pounds. The Durango is quite safe for an SUV and awarded the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Five-Star frontal impact rating in 2005. Two V8s are available and both are superb. The popular 4.7-liter V8 and the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 are smooth and powerful. They come with a five-speed automatic that's smooth, refined, and responsive. Multi-Displacement System (MDS) comes with the 5.7 liter V-8, which shuts down half of the cylinders during light load conditions for better fuel economy.

For 2006, the entry level Durango was dropped. The Durango SXT is now the basic model available to consumers. Also, dual stage front air bags and an occupant-sensing system for the passenger-side front air bag have become standard. Curtain airbags and electronic stability control are available as options.

Buying a 2006 Dodge Durango

Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 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 2006 Dodge Durango for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 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 2006 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 2006 Dodge Durango will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Dodge Durango is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
