2013 Dodge Dart SXT Sedan 4D

Yes, it's a thirteen-year-old compact with 111,547 miles on it, and you should ask hard questions about a car like that before you spend a dollar — so here's what we know and how you can check the rest.

The badge on the back of this Dart is SXT, and on this generation that badge is what turns a basic sedan into one you'd actually want to live with. It brings the 2.0-liter 160-horsepower Tigershark four-cylinder (the 1.4-liter 160-horsepower MultiAir turbo was the other choice), 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a four-wheel independent suspension that makes the trip up I-35 or out to the coast a good deal less tiring than the numbers suggest. Inside, you get power windows, power locks, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, and air conditioning that earns its keep in a Central Texas August. Automatic transmission, white, and 111,547 miles works out to roughly 8,581 a year — under average for its age.

At $6,069, we'd rather you verify all of that than take our word for it. Take the Dart to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection — your shop, your choice, and we'll hand you the keys to make it happen. Ask us for the Carfax vehicle history report and read it start to finish. We invite that kind of scrutiny because we expect the car to hold up under it.

When you're ready, we make the rest easy: extended warranty options and GAP coverage if you want the extra protection, financing for every credit situation, and cash buyers are just as welcome. No pressure, no runaround — just a friendly conversation. Come drive it and see what you think.
