I have a 2000 Durango that has about 189,000 on it. The motor is making a noise that sounds like it is ready to blow. Was hoping it would hold out till my daughter went to college in the fall, but no such luck! I put it on C/list, but I don't have any idea what a good price is to get for it....any thoughts? Tires/wheels good, little front end damage. It's SLT,Plus, I think.

BTW, I didn't want to put any money into it, come to find out when I was posting it, my wife tells me she had a new power steering pump and tie rods put in it when I was deer hunting:( Around $600.00, so, I'm just a little pi$$ed off to say the least!

Got a couple responses, what should I look out for? Scams, etc?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Shizzy is absolutely correct. State precisely what it is you have to sell and put a realistic price on it. Don't lie about it. If somebody wants it, for reasons of their own, they will buy it. Don't try to fool somebody about it. You would NOT like the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.

You'll sell it.

I did the Kelly Blue book deal, put everything I could at the lowest price/condition. Wish I could get that much! I did spell out everything that I know of, it's my daughters Durango that we gave we a few years ago. I like to think I'm pretty honest in all my dealings. BTW, highest offer is $600.00, what do ya think?

Will, I sold it today for 850.00. I would have been happy if my wife didn't dump 600.00 on it when I wasn't in town. I thought she did the repairs when I was deer hunting in November, the truth came out and she did them when I was ice fishing a LOW a few weeks ago! It was a new bed for "us", when I was deer hunting----sure costs me when I go out of town frown

Trouble is, she makes more bacon that I do!!! I guess that's not really trouble wink She just has to learn to make smart buying decisions when it comes to certain things.

That explains it, I wish I had that problem!

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
