Hunting green and old roy:
Thank you for the input. From the labor standpoint in the radiator change, I can see where it can be costly.
Sounds like you've both had decent luck with the Jeep line.. That makes me a little easy, as I know that's really what she wants.
What causes that rear end to be noisy? I'm assuming must be something to do with the gear mesh? The noise wouldn't bother me, but I know I'd be looking at it all the time for her.. LOL..
In the line of what she wants, I've got an aunt that has had a few grand cherokees.. She used to lease, so every 3 years she'd get a new one and never have much issue..
Otherwise, there have been 2 durango's in the family.. Another aunt bought one new.. I think it was around 120k when someone told her it needed a engine.. (not saying it was properly maintained, and never did hear what lead them to believe the engine was shot, as it still ran, but it would run rich, almost like it was "choked").. My sister also bought one.. From a tow yard for $400 with some front damage (was abandoned and they towed it in, her boyfriend worked there, and we had to give scrap price for it).. We straightened it out, tossed a rad, bumper, grille, headlights and she drove it for 3 years with just things like brakes, tune up, tires, etc.. It had nearly 200k when she sold it, but no history of maintenance either (may have had a new engine, trans, etc before it was abandoned).
Again, thanks for helping the decision making process.
