Even though the 2012 Dodge Journey went through major revisions last year, that didn’t stop the crossover from dropping its base price significantly making it more affordable than ever.

Because of the new American Value Package, the base 2012 Dodge Journey drops more than $3,000 in price, which really is the bottom line when deciding on a new car. If you love technology, then you’ll be happy to know that the Uconnect Touch 8.4 multimedia system with navigation gains song tagging, voice-recognition, and an eco-routing feature.

The 2012 Journey is available in four trims: SE, SXT, Crew, and R/T, and with three different engines. A 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, followed by a 283-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6, which is also available in a flex-fuel E85 version. Both V-6 engines (the gas and the flex-fuel) are paired to a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is also available, but only with the V-6s. Maximum towing capacity is 2,500 pounds. Fuel economy is decent at 16-19 mpg in the city and 24-26 on the highway.

Exterior styling took on a more aggressive look last year with a larger air dam and crossbar grille. Sixteen-inch steel wheels and power heated side mirrors are standard, while 17- and 19-inch aluminum wheels, roof rails, LED taillights, front fog lights, and a power sunroof are optional. The 2012 Journey seats between five and seven passengers in either two- or three-rows of seats, and the Tilt ‘n Slide second-row seating feature allow easy access to the back row.

Standard features abound inside the 2012 Dodge Journey including illuminated cup holders, auxiliary input jack, USB port, and 4.3-inch touch-screen for the audio system. The previously mentioned optional Uconnect Touch 8.4 system boasts an 8.4-inch touch-screen interface, which controls all kinds of functions such as audio, Bluetooth® connectivity, Garmin navigation, and climate controls. Other optional features include leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, automatic air conditioning, built-in second-row booster seats, and a six-speaker, 368-watt Infinity premium audio system.

Dodge takes safety seriously with a suite of airbags including side-impact airbags for the front seat, side curtain airbags, driver’s knee airbag, antilock brakes, front active head restraints, and a stability system with electronic roll mitigation and trailer-sway control as standard equipment. Rear parking sensors and a backup camera are optional.

With so many features now available at an even lower price, you won’t stop believing in this 2012 Dodge Journey.

These additional manufacturer savings programs can help you get your best deal.*

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
