Dodge Nitro. Far too expensive for a box on wheels.

Interesting comment as I have to say we have received emails from owners of these vehicles who love them.

The Dodge brand is marketed to have an aggressive look and is very Americanised which appeals to those who wish to step outside the square so to speak.

What lets them down in my opinion is their overall fit and finish in comparison to their competitors but as I say for some buyers it fits their image perfectly.

Price wise I think it would depend on your negotiating skills. It's a very tough time for all manufacturers at the moment and I suspect most dealers would be reluctant to let potential buyers walk away without trying to negotiate a sale.

Depreciation on a vehicle like this would be very high I suspect as well.
