(((((((((((((((((TRUMP 2024)))))))))))))))))))))))

Great car I get a lot of complaiments on it, My main gripe is maintenance. Try and change the sparkplugs or better yet try and pay a mechanic to do it... $600!!!! EVERYTHING IS HARD TO WORK ON. Try and change the battery haha.... better yet try and pay a mechanic $400 for a battery change xxx??? Don't buy this car, Its beautyful but its really hard to work on and its a gas hog.

A car to cruise

I bought this car as used and the person before me most likely didn’t took care of this car at all it has some rust but not terrible rust, the air works but for some reason the passenger side blow cooler air no matter what and I still haven’t got a chance to see why, it has a oil change, a new Dipstick, good on gas between $15-25 and it’s filled up for a while depending on how you drive but overall.This car is mostly for transportation to here and there I don’t recommend to travel with this car.But I want to give this car to someone who can take care of this car way better than and if there’s any other questions just let me know.

I would never own another Dodge

I purchased the used. It has been nothing but problems from the day I bought it. Tie rods ball joints A-frame ignition sensor fuel injectors. You ever watch the movie Money Pit that's what this car is

The Avenger was a suprise great buy for me!

This car has been a good buy for me. It was affordable, reliable, and fun to drive. There was some problems I had along the way with this car, like any car. I got this car at 132k miles. I had to replace the alternator, thermostat and fuel pump. Other than those three things it was just general maintenance I did on this car.

Dependable and great performance!

The 2008 avenger rt we bought new. We currently have 264,000 miles on it and is going strong 💪. My single complaint is: it is equipped with the 3.5 engine, and from date of purchase, it uses a quart of oil on 1,500 miles. I brought this to the dealers attention. Their response was: this is termed by the manufacturer, nominal oil use. Thus the oil is only changed at 6000 miles, as l feel it has already had an oil change, having added 4 quarts interm of the 6000 miles. I was also told: leave it alone as some motors, (find a level and maintain it). What a joke! Not this motor. I drove 2,500 miles and went back to the dealership, and their was not a drop in the end of the dipstick! Thus checking it regular, it runs strong. As for a motor warranty, that is sure a sore spot! As for the car totally, outside of the motor oil use, it is an excellent car!

Best car I ever owned.

It's great on gas and rides smoothly had it for almost 5 years. But my problem now is my headlight for some reason no one knows what's wrong so I have been driving with 1 headlight for a year.
