my mom has owned 3 avengers she has bought brand new (04, 08, 14) and the only real problem she has ever had has been the a/c compressor quit working in the 08. the interiors are cheap as hell but she hasnt had any problems with them either. she did have a jeep liberty with the trail rated badge (dont know if that matters) and it got some rain water on the back seat one day that left horrible looking places on the fabric. that was a big let down with a name like jeep on your vehicle. i didnt like the way it drove either it was way to touchy

i think the liberty was like an 05 or 06 she got it after she totaled the 04 avenger.


Oh god the Avenger is a failed abortion

After years of inflation I doubt you'd even break even, not to mention paying for a car you wouldn't drive the piss out of.

Its a good mom car. Theres nothing spectacular about them and the 4 cylinder gets bad mpg compared to other 4 bangers which is typical. Theyve been reliable for her and the 04 she took out like 5 fence posts head on and walked away fine. It was a 2 door sxt

I would never consider that car an investment unless you are going to buy the car and literally never drive it. Thats not factoring in the cost of storage or inflation or the fact that it will take at least 25+ years for this car to become "worth it", and even then who knows if it would be worth it.

The truck was finished and sold. I never even pulled it. A guy in iowa owns it now. He was pulling in the badgerland series from what i was told. All i know is he blew a turbo at one of the very first events and i havent heard of him being back. I live in houston now so i dont really know what goes on unless im told.

He was leading the bracket for the first month... Pockets got empty fast i guess lol

I was going to keep it and turn it into a strip truck since they dont pull down here but the money invested in parts specifically for pulls was pretty overwhelming to just throw away at 1/3 cost. I just got out of the truck for a small loss. couldnt have asked for a better outcome considering half of the parts were paid for twice...
