Default RIP Dodge Dart

Well I guess the Dart name is going away again.

Yep...it's a complete washout on the used market. I've seen 2015 models with less than 15,000 miles selling at auction in the low $8000 range. same thing in a Hyundai Elantra brings $10-11k

Was not Al Bundy driving a Dart? "A fine American made car!" (Cue the canned laughter!)

Dart has been a tough pill to swallow. In fact, Dodge is a tough pill to swallow right now. No long-term product plan. But, hey, at least we have Chrysler and Jeep to balance things out. Feel bad for any Dodge and Ram standalones left (few, but there's still one not far from my hometown in the Detroit area).

After 2017 model year Grand Caravan is gone, Journey replacement TBD... we will see what happens.

As for 2015 models bringing $8,000 at the auction, just wait until customers who are doing 0% for 84 months on these things start to attempt to trade out of them. 0% for 84 has been available in most regions for the last six months ago, as long as it's an SXT or high trim level...
