Dodge Durango's have horrible resale value, in fact just about any Dodge/Chrysler product has horrible resale value. They are also a dime a dozen.
I think 20K is all your gonna get and thats the very top end. You might only get about 17-18 for it. You have to remember something, right now it does not make sense for anyone to buy a used car, unless you sell it very cheap so you have to be prepared to take a beating when you sell. With all the great new car interest rates and rebates, it just doesn't make sense to buy a used car, unless you can basically "steal" it for a great price.
You Durango is almost 4 years old (when the 04's come out) so you better sell it now for whatever you can get or your gonna lose more money.
Also, no one in thier right mind would pay 30k for a 3 year old SUV, regardless of the mileage.
I know thats not what you wanted to hear, but I have family in the car business and thats the honest truth.
Good luck..

. their quality is HORRIBLE. The 94 ram we ALWAYS had the f#*king truck in the shop. the dang drain plug on the front diffenential fell out as we were going down the road and spun every bearing on the way home from a snowmobile trick(of course it's snowing like crazy)(yeah we were pissed) (it cost 1500 bucks to put a new front axle in it) then if that's not bad enough you can't keep fluids in it. the dang thing pissed oil,or something all the time. we took it to 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS and they were either too stupid or something and never found the leak. then Dodge is always known for sucky gas mileage. I finally at the end of '01 got pissed and traded it on a new Tundra. haven't had a problem with it. THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T BUY DOMESTIC

BTW i forgot to tell you about Sherri's brother:
He had a 95 Dodge Ram 1/2 ton 4x4 bought it brand new. in the matter of a year (he didn't pull huge trailers, or hot rod it ) just pull a trailer occassionally and drive it around. HE BLEW UP 8 TRANSMISSIONS. after he blew up like the 3rd transmission the dealer started scheduling him to for a new transmission about every 1.5 month
by the time he blew his 6th one he wasn't suppose to go out in the service bay while they were servicing his pickup and he did He took a look at the transmissions the Old tranny vs new tranny IT'S A CAR TRANSMISSION IN A 1/2 TON TRUCK
(anyone that has 1/2 of a brain knows you can't put a car transmission in a pickup because the extra weight,HP,and the towing:shakehd: )
