I’ve always been a firm believer in inclusivity when it comes to automotive enthusiasts. Regardless of what you drive or how much you know, you’re always welcome to park next to me at Cars and Coffee. However, Bring A Trailer’s latest listing has me reconsidering my stance. They’re auctioning off a remarkably low-mileage 2008 Dodge Avenger SE, a car that’s not exactly known for its greatness. So, how does a 16,908-mile 2008 Dodge Avenger SE sound to you?
Currently listed with no reserve and bidding at $1,250, this Avenger appears to be in excellent condition, which is consistent with its low average mileage of 1,127 per year. Even high-wear areas like the driver seat bolsters and door handle look brand new. As a commenter pointed out, this Avenger might just be the most photographed one in history. The seller even took the time to use a paint meter to prove that the Dodge Inferno Red Crystal paint has held up evenly over time. The included CarFax report confirms that the car has zero accidents.
The Avenger’s interior is quite plain and lacks in visual appeal. However, it does have one interesting feature. Above the glovebox, there’s a storage cubby called the “Chill Zone” that can hold four 12-ounce soda cans. The air conditioner is designed to divert air around the Chill Zone, keeping its contents frosty.
Unfortunately, the Avenger’s performance is also quite cold. Equipped with a 2.4-liter inline-four engine producing 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque, the base SE model relies on a dated four-speed automatic transmission to deliver power to the front wheels. Sixteen-inch steel wheels and standard anti-lock brakes don’t contribute to an exciting driving experience. According to reviews from that time, the SE model was considered to be unimpressive and meant for basic rental car purposes. Quite harsh, isn’t it?
Despite these shortcomings, this is likely one of the best examples of its kind out there. So, if you’re a smart bidder in search of something affordable and shiny, without any higher expectations, this Bring A Trailer listing could be just the change of pace you’re looking for. That being said, some cars meet unfortunate demises for a reason, and this plain base model Avenger might just fall into that category.
