NickSP Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 What an awesome place. I am Nick from Los Angeles and I own a 2016 Dodge Journey Crossroad V6 FWD. I bought this car on an impulse 2 days back and I hope you guys will back me up on my decision and not let buyers remorse set in. I actually went to the dealer to buy a new Jeep Compass Sport. Didn't like the drive. Then I drove the Jeep Cherokee Limited and then saw this sexy car looking back at me giving me a big "Hey". Naturally I had to oblige. The sales guy not only opened the car but started it from the remote and when I sat inside, she had me at "Hello"! She is fully loaded to the hilt with every possible feature and add on pre-installed from the factory. The only omission is the Entertainment system for the back. She is grey/black and I LOVE IT! Moves like a gazelle. Now my other car is a Prius so you see the excitement? LOL! So please back me up in my decision and never let any doubt set in and praise my Journey and tell me what a "wise" decision I have made!

jkeaton Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Very wise decision as long as you purchased an extended warranty! Welcome to the forum. I hear in a few years, californication will ban gas powered automobiles, so glad you got one before the ban sets in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 33K miles on the car and still have little factory and powertrain warranty left. Do you recommend I buy it from Dodge or a good 3rd party? THANKS!!

2late4u Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 most 3rd party plans make you jump thur a a lot of hoops before they fix or cover your car the Mopar one is more expensive but at least you know what you are getting check out http://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com/ cheapest i found and that is where i bought from...welcome to the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Some people on here absolutely hate aftermarket warranties. I've had aftermarket warranties through Carmax on both our Journeys. Never had an issue with getting a repair done. and covered by the extended aftermarket warranty.

NavalLacrosse Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Welcome! Coming from a Prius to a DJ? Get ready for your sweet sixteens (That being the 16mpg city mileage) hah! Anyway, I Like you , was worried about buyer's remorse. After 6 months (when the warm and fuzzies go away) I evaluated my decision to purchase the DJ. I didn't regret it! now, fast forward another 4 months and I'm still not regretting it! I do wish I had the backup camera. I've been driving the snot out of mine; me and my wife share it- and in 9 months we've done 20,000 miles. I don't think I'd get the journey again, unless offered a great deal on a pre-owned. I do think it makes a super good/comfortable daily car- and for what I paid for it, I'd never get a car with similar options, attractive interior, and as low miles.

I've been screwed by 2 aftermarket warranty providers, one of which was the one recommended unequivocally by the CAA (Canadian equivalent of AAA) . . . . well, they tried. but I am litigious and took them both to court and won both times. But it just isn't worth the trouble, so I buy OEM now. Edited April 25, 2018 by bramfrank 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armando G Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Welcome and a big CONGRATS on the purchase. Unlike you, I did some research before buying and was completely convinced that my DJ was the best value for the money. I kind of wanted the Durango, but for the price difference and what I really need it for, I'm still thrilled I went with the Journey (3 years later). Funny enough, my brother got a Durango for himself, and he is really hating the payments and not as thrilled as I am. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickSP Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks everyone. Looking forward to many many miles in my new DJ! Love everything about it so far. Edited April 27, 2018 by NickSP jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
