Hey all, new to the forum here and I'll be honest; the only reason I created this account was to get some feedback on which Dodge Journey would be the better deal. There are two local dealerships that have pre-owned Dodge Journey's available.
The first one is a 2017 Dodge Journey GT with 57,000 miles on it, it has the 3.6L engine and a few bells and whistles my wife likes (moon roof, Bluetooth radio, driver and passenger power seats, and I think it may have the leather heated seats as well?). The dealership is wanting $19,000 for it.
The second one is a 2019 Dodge Journey SE with the 2.4L engine and of course comes with pretty standard features. It only has 10,000 miles on it though and they are also asking $19,000 for it.
Which one would you guys suggest? We will only be using it as a family car and it won't get many miles put on it each year as my wife works only a couple of miles from our house. I've read great things about both engines and really everyone on the forum says you can't go wrong with either one. I know of course the V6 will have more power you can feel but have read that the 2.4L is sufficient. I currently have a 2014 Dodge Avenger with the 2.4L engine that I bought brand new and I love that car! I've put 140,000 miles on it and have only had to do regular maintenance items (oil change every 5,000-6000 miles with full synthetic oil, brakes, and tires) so I know that the 2.4L engine is a good one.
Any feedback anyone can provide will be helpful!
