Hello Guys.
Recently, with my brother, we bought a 21 Dodge Durango SRT for our... mother
She love big fast cars We bought it form salvage auction, so there is a lot of small things to handle.
I hope I will find some help here.
Thank you in advance

I was stolen, so it has some interior damage, we didn't get OEM keys and there was small body damage (already fixed)

Welcome at first 🍻

Was it stolen in Poland or in America before the export?

In 2021 there 424 Durangos sold in Europe. So there's a chance that this is an original European car that was stolen and purchased at auction.

However people in Europe likely don't know all the "Detroit tricks" that can be used to steal Hellcats, etc. Which means there's a very good chance this one was stolen in America and shipped to Poland + sold at auction.

I believe the Vin would show where it came from. Don't write it down and add as a comment I don't care. Just letting you know in case you wanted to look it up and figure out the country of origin.

@shadash: the Durango was never officially exported to Europe, so all cars came over here by private or small business importers.

The amount of Durangos over here is exploded in the last one, two years - and the reason is not very nice 🫤

In 2020, when I bought my Durango, about a dozen were offered in the whole EU - now, if you look at mobile.de or similar platforms, it's over 300 cars.

Actually masses of used cars came from USA to Europe, although the bad $ rate, often high end BMW, Audi, Porsche, but also Charger, Mustangs, Corvettes and also RAMs and Durangos - all CarFax wrecks.

Hopefully you will find nice news here:
