Time to replace the Envoy

[rose0529]

So something kind of like this might be something I'd like. Used 2014 SXT with Rallye appearance package (gives it similar look as an RT). Appears to have the upgraded stereo. The one I drove had heated seats and heated steering wheel all activated via the touchscreen, not sure how to tell yet if they all have that with the upgraded touchscreen. Anyway, $29k barely used.

Looks like a nicely equpped car. Couple thoughts... I LOVE my heated steering wheel, eliminates the need for gloves when driving in the winter. It is one thing I didn't care if this car had.. but am super happy it does.

Secondly, something I have observed and like alot. I don't have kids yet, but my wife nannies in the summers. Leather seats are SO much easier to clean up, especially if something spills! Or if they go to the beach and are sandy.

Actually every Durango I test drove (even the base SXT) had the headted steering wheel. I'm not sure how to tell if it has it or not other than ask the seller, but from what I've gathered thus far, as long as you have that upgraded uConnect touchscreen you will have heated seats and steering wheel. I'm not certain on that though, just my assumption right now.

Leather, I'd love leather. The thing is leather was not an option on the SXT. The SXT Rallye exterior wise wins hands down on exterior appearance. The Limited wins on interior (leather) and also has the sweet LED eyebrow things. So I'm trying to figure out which I personally favor.

Nice! Sounds like you are getting it figured out, nothing something some net research or more test driving will solve

That website is pretty helpful with figuring out what options include what packages and what cars they are available. It looks like the heated steering wheel is part of the popular equiment group:

Popular Equipment Group - $895

Ive been looking at the Durango for the past couple months. Looking to make a purchase in january after the spending season gets over. Really excited for the durango as it fits all of the must haves. If i go with an older one, like a 2011-2013 model i will be looking at the Crew minimum trim level. The 2014 SXTs are nicely equipped so if i decide to go that route it will be nice to save some coin.

You guys seen 0% for 72 months on all 2014 Dodge's?

I would see how much of a rebate you are required to give back. Often times 0% offers are in liue rebates. This can be great for people who are just on the lower end of the credit cut off. But if you have rock star credit, 0% is often times just a gimmick to get people in the door. With 750+ credit you'll typically get a rate low enough to outweigh the rebates you have to give back.

However, if it's a true 0%, no rebates to give back, that's fucking baller!

I don't know anything about that shit, I'm poor and buy busted old vehicles.

Thanks for the links Rosey. I think all Limiteds came with heated steering then too. One Con I think i may have found about the Durango is the "AWD" system. I need to research it more, but someone told me its not really awd. Its rwd where the fronts kick in once it detects the rears spinning. Not sure I really ike that.
