hey on www.andersonautogroup.com they have an sxt with no real extra options for $14,187 i think. it's on their lot in lincoln,ne. great dealership, i'm very pleased with them, joshua starr is out sales guy.. i almost bought it, but went with a malibu maxx instead. i think theyd go down to about $12,000. great shape.

I had both a manual 1.8 and the CVT 2.0 and I can safely say the CVT ran much better than the 1.8. It was smoother and faster, had less engine issues such as stalling, tac drops, etc.

Can anyone else give their opinions on this? I wanted to stay away from the CVT because I don't really trust the technology yet. The "professional" reviews from autos.msn.com say that manual is the way to go.
 
Also what are the differences between '07 and '08?
 
Thanks

Wierd Smell on start up by canadacaliber

Just wondering if anyone has had a wierd smell coming out of the vent on startup. it only lasts a few seconds...I have tried spraying lysol in through vent in firewall as suggested by dealer, but it hasnt done anything to fix the problem. Air smell is so bad I have to open the windows....even in below zero temps here in Northern BC
Have been to the dealer a few times and they have not been able to fix it yet.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?

The smell you are having is from mildew/fungal buildup on the AC/DEFROST
evaporator which located in the dash about at its center.
The problem arises from using the ac/defrost cycle both of which
use the evaperator to remove water/humidity from the cabin area.
You can help prevent it by running the HEATER only on high for
several minutes before turning the car off.
If you spray Lysol with the fan on mid setting spray it thru the
cabin airfilter access behind the glovebox,you can spray the cabin
airfilter itself with Lysol or do as I did by placing a FEW drops of
liquid car scent (something you can live with) onto the cabin air filter.
I have owned Chrysler cars since 1984 and this crops up in some
models more than others.
Since scenting the filter and letting it run on heat only for a few minutes
I haven't noticed it all winter.

I just purchased a Jeep Patriot and I've noticed that the interior is pretty much the same as the Calibar.

I read that Chrysler intends to upgrade the Caliber platform interiors starting with the Jeep in 2009. The Caliber will be upgraded later in the cycle.
 
The Caliber platform vehicles are the Caliber, Avenger, Sebring, Jeep Patriot, and Jeep Compass.

AC Leak by gman64
Jun 08, 2008 (4:11 am)
Reply
Our 2007 Dodge Caliber RT, 13000 miles has developed a leak into the interior front passenger compartment of the vehicle. It "appears" to be AC related? Water is visibly entering the passenger compartment and can be seen more predominantly on the passenger side but also in the area of the gas pedal. There is also a distinct sound of water running when turning at a slow speeds to the left, with the sound coming from the right front area. The problem continued even after shutting the AC off for 30 miles.
 
Emailed dealer today, Sunday of course so no answer. Will follow up after repairs, hopefully?
