The Avenger had been slowly fading into the shit box category since I got it back from my stepson. Things just started to fall apart on it. I made the subconscious decision to let it fall apart further, and see how far it would go. It took me far enough to get it's replacement, a Chrysler Town & Country of the same vintage, 2008. Didn't notice both had flared styling until after I arranged to look at the van, Widebodys before their time.
It has 207,250 on it, and has multiple little issues like the blower actuator makes noise when you start the vehicle. The auto open sliding door doesn't work on the driver's side, nor does the window go down. (I didn't even know the door window went down!) The map lights are touchy, a wiper didn't want to stay in, cruise doesn't work. But all the things I care about, work fine. Drives down the road smoothly even with the original struts, radio works, and it's got Sto-n-go seating, so I can haul all the crap I've done with all the cars I've owned in the past. I didn't want another cramped small car, and the prices for them were too high in my opinion. So I looked at vans, and they are the cheaper option, and more practical for what I want. Plus I've got the dogs and they're not toy poodles, they're big guys, so it just made sense. Sure, it's got rust, it's a Minnesota car with over 200k on the clock. I'm also glad it has the black wheels on it, most had crappy steel wheels or hubcaps that looked like garbage.
After I told a coworker I got this, he told me he had a 2013-2014 for backup. Has a coolant leak, and the front blower motor doesn't work, but he will let it go for cheap. Gonna take a look at it, and see if it's a keeper, a flipper, or a run awayer. Haven't had a side hustle for a while, maybe I'll become a van flipper.
