I been looking at buying a used DJ but most I read is bad about them.

I know most of the time what most pepole will write is whats bad not the good so take wht you hear with a grain of salt.

So what is the real skinny about the DJ is a good car or realy junk.

Is there better years to get and which year to stay away from.

Is the 3.5 or the 3.9 motor a better deal I had a 3.5 in my 2006 1500 ram it was under powered but I thinlk the truck just weighted to much for the motor.

I have a 2001 Ford expendition now that get 13 MPG on a good day it a nice car but it's time for a newer car.

And I have read mixed on MPG on the DJ whats the truth.

Hey there Marvin!

Not alot bad to say about my DJ. I am quite happy with it. I know what I would by diffrent but it would not be the car its self. Just options I would add to it.

Good car in my books. I went from a 2006 Durango Hemi to the 2010DJ due to my Durango being taken from me in a auto accident. To me the only thing missing is the power... All else is great. I went with buying a used one so I escentially had no chice in options it had. All I want to add the cold start option to mine. That essintially is all I feel I need to add to it. Would like more power but I guess I am stuck with the 183hp it has which is ok for now. As for yout 1500Ram... Big problem with that small motor but is is a diffrent animal in the Journey. If I were in your shoes, I would go to the dealer and test drive the snot out of them! See what kinda deal they would give you on trade for the Ferd. I probably doubled my milage going from the 5.7Hemi to the Journey. I avarage 550km on 60L of fuel. Have never sat and worked out the milage I am getting but I really am happy with how it is so I am not worried about it.

Hope this might help you alittle.

The 2010's are better than the 2009's. The 2011's are amazing compared to those two, but you'll have a difficult time finding a used 2011 at this time since they've only been on the market since last November.

Thanks for the input so far still looking at the DJ I kmow I want the V-6 If I can find a deal on a 2011 I go that route.

But I tired of high car payments that why the DJ is a good deal so far they dont cost $30000+.

How about the brakes I read lots bad or it the drivers that ride the braqkes or on them hard are the ones saying they war out fast.,

I have a go fast car so the power thing I not worried about if I want Power I just jump in to my 1986 Vett. with a 383 SBC with 440 H/P 500 Tq .

This my car or Dads car it all mine toy I gave up the Dirt bikes got to old to ride any more but I still get the need for speed every now and then it 's not as fast of old bikes but still fun to drive.

Plus my body dont ach after getting out vett after a long day any more LOL.
