Tadek If you are after a seven seater then getting what a DJ offers for the same price elsewhere will be a huge push. Mine has the BWD motor and it is loud as a mower but you get used to it. It is not as fuel efficient as I had expected a 2.0l diesel engine to be but then again it's a heavy car for the small engine and I mostly do short runs on a cold engine. I get 25MPG urban and 30ish on the motorway. Specialist parts are b1tch to get here in the UK and non-maintaince repairs will cost you an arm and a leg. I lucked out as the trader I bought it from gave me a 6 month warranty and in the first month had to shell out £3.3k in repairs (reconditioned turbo and a set of clutches) so I didn't have to. Having said all that I freaking love my Dodge, the room it offers, the DVD in the rear, the built in sat bav, rear parking cam and my Infiniti audio system. I bought it for £8.5k with 45k miles on the clock. Would've had to spend £2k more on similar spec elsewhere - at least that. So all in all, get one with warranty and you should be fine:)

Hi guys. Would hate to the bearer of bad news but my DJ had the same problem and also fluctuating revs as if the transmission couldn't decide whether to change gear already or not. It would happen in some gears only. Still had warranty with the trader I had bought the car from so they rectified this free of charge. I was glad I didn't have to shell out £2.6k they did for a new clutch set...mine is a 2008 SXT CRD.

thanks guys, I will try to post a brief description of my experiences so far shortly.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to say hi, looking forward to this journey;) A little about my Dodge: * 2008 reg 2.0 SXT CRD AUTO gearbox * 48k miles on the clock * bought Oct'2014 with 45k miles done Here's what it looks like: Thanks MM
