Hi,
So a bit of back story first, I order my Dodge Dart Rallye 1.4L back in September 2013. I love the car, had no no issues and the fuel economy is still amazes me everyday. Getting 49MPG highway and around 29MPG city, if you can call where I live a city.
The wife and I recently had our third child and well the Dart is a little cramped.. we are looking at getting a SUV. So i went into the local Dodge dealership to get a trade in price for my Dart. 20,000 miles just over 2 years old and in Amazing shape, backup camera, fully loaded -Bluetooth.
I was offered $7500... I payed $26,000 for it.
The salesmen then told me I was lucky to get anything for the car, as they no longer made the Rallye with the 1.4L DDCT.(this was news to me..)
I thought he was crazy and went to 2 other dealerships.. $7500 was the highest I could get on trade for my dart.. All the dealers claiming it was because of the 1.4L.
So dodge/fiat seems to have screwed me with the changes to the motors..I have two choices, to sell the Car at a almost $5000 loss, not counting the $12,000 trade from my Charger. Or keep it till she dies...
Not a happy camper..
