What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Dodge Journey

Price of the Dodge Journey: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is by far the BEST value for an entry level or lower level 7 passenger car on the road today. Ours came in, nicely equipped at just under $27k.
2012 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We happened to come across a dealer who was selling at invoice (although I'm sure they still made plenty of money), so there was no reason waste time with a painful negotiation process.
2010 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Price was great compared to its rivals. Little cheaper materials interior wise but I can live with it saving the money we did.
2010 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the same features, it was about $10k cheaper then the competition.
2010 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Most features I was looking for the money I wanted to spend,0% financing
2009 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Low financing available at 4%. I paid just over 1/2 of MSRP with discounts/incentives
2009 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 economical price well below comparable vehicles
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Price is thousands less than comparable Toyota, Ford or GM products.
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price was close to the Kia Rondo and Mazda 5 yet it came with many more features.
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 affordable - under $25k
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 You can get into a new Journey for under $20,000
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I bought this car with 19,000 miles and paid a little more than half of the MSRP. Chryslers should never be purchased new. They depreciate too quickly
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 We got a good deal.
