Hi Scotty iv be watching your YouTube videos and i was interested in a 2011 Dodge Caliber SE mainstreet it has 95,000 miles on it and in good to very good condition they want $3,500 for it what do you think? Thanks for the great videos
Stay away from the Caliber. See below:

Owned one for 2 yrs, wouldn’t recommend if you want this vehicle for the long haul. If this vehicle is just a temporary fix till you upgrade pay them $2500 and drive it. Of course I’d have a thorough inspection on it before you buy it. I’d make sure transmission is in good shape and make sure you keep clean oil in it and coolant flush every 60k mi.
Thank you I'm just looking for a good reliable car that I can put some miles on it before I buy a new car I want to buy a 2021 honda hybrid but the corent job I have I don't want in know what car would you recommend looking for a honda car or Toyota car?
Nothing made by Dodge could be considered reliable.
@kalvin I’d stick with Toyota personally but if you found a good Honda with a manual transmission that’d be just as good. The Japanese focus is cars. That’s why they are so great at building them. American cars have never been really that great because that is not what our focus is it’s trucks and SUVS.
the oil changes on those things can cost $75
Run. I know somebody that has one of these. Endless money pit for him. His continues to have major cooling system failures amongst other major mechanical issues that are continuously popping up shortly after they were just repaired. He swears the new parts are as bad as the old parts coming out and he gets his work done at the dealer. I drove a brand new one as a rental car in Hawaii in 2007; I should have spent more money and upgraded...what a horrible car.
Okay so if you wanna buy this car for long period of time I say don't even think about it and run far off
But if you wanna buy it as Walmart grocery cart or present for ex wife/girlfriend go for it {black}:smile:
