First off, I LOVE this car!
I bought a 09 Journey SXT over Valentine's/President's Day weekend. It replaced an 01 Ford Escort that's seen better days. At first I wanted a minivan but with 2 kids & 2 dogs, I couldn't really justify the reason for one.
My husband said to check out the Journey. He's a Dodge fanatic with an Avenger. For some reason I confused it with the Caliber & didn't want to. We saw this one & I fell in love. This car so suits me. Love the ride & the handling, the storage space, & of course the "sometime" seats. Before, I'd have to pick a car that I could afford, whether I liked it or not. We got lucky with this one, found it with decent miles at a decent price. He's mad because I won't give him credit for picking it, lol.
Still trying to figure some of the features & find replacement parts for a couple of things because it was pre-owned. I've been to the dealership to get a quote on parts like the illuminated vanity mirrors (why the mirror covers were removed, I don't know) & weatherstripping around the driver door (it look like they tried to use a hanger to unlock the door or something). I replaced the fob because it didn't come with one. Are there suppose to be liners in the floor compartments? The dealership didn't have a part number for them. Or is there somewhere I can get a good price on parts?
I plan on keeping this one for a while but when I'm able to go New-New, I want an R/T with all the bells and whistles!!
