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 AWD		 Most features I was looking for the money I wanted to spend,0% financing
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.

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.
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

2011 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic AWD		 Lowest
2009 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched.
2008 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD		 Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 lower than the mazda
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value.
2002 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards
Price of the Ford Escape: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
