that is what i mean i like it but trying to get dodge or at least the dealer where i bought it new to do something about it is a feat in its self my wife and i are in our 40s so it is not like we hotrod it it has been well maintained and cared for we took it in to the dealer a year ago for the brake recall and when they brought it back to us it had a broken windsheild and they denied doing it after alot of arguing with them they finally put a new one in i guess what my problem is with resale value is we traded in a 95 s-10 blazer ls with 50000 miles on it and got $18000 trade in and it was 5yrs old at the time now here is the durango that is only worth 12 to 13000 i have always been a gm person but i liked the look and with the way gm trucks look now there is no way i would buy one and the problems with the durango i might go ford this time .

maybe ford or gm will teach you to use punctuation in your posts so they are somewhat intelligible. you write like youre not old enough to drive. funny thing is that i just checked the blue book value on a 5 year old 4x4 blazer ls with all the trimmings in excellent condition with 50k on it. kelly says $9650. look it up www.kbb.com . i think youre full of it mr. troll. --mike that is what i mean i like it but trying to get dodge or at least the dealer where i bought it new to do something about it is a feat in its self my wife and i are in our 40s so it is not like we hotrod it it has been well maintained and cared for we took it in to the dealer a year ago for the brake recall and when they brought it back to us it had a broken windsheild and they denied doing it after alot of arguing with them they finally put a new one in i guess what my problem is with resale value is we traded in a 95 s-10 blazer ls with 50000 miles on it and got $18000 trade in and it was 5yrs old at the time now here is the durango that is only worth 12 to 13000 i have always been a gm person but i liked the look and with the way gm trucks look now there is no way i would buy one and the problems with the durango i might go ford this time .

i think it is pretty sad when you have to criticize someone to feel better about yourself. i guess i didnt realize this was an english class group i write how i write some of us did not do as well as you in school. and as for the price i got out of my blazer i dont need you to believe me i have the papers i know what i got! to the ones who overlooked my english and did not make me feel bad i say thanks as for you it must be lonely to be so perfect maybe you should consider looking at a humanity group .
