CarHub · Dodge
The Dodge Avenger is an American mid-size sedan with a straightforward, honest character — roomy, comfortable and, in V6 form, surprisingly punchy.
Model profile
The Avenger name has two distinct lives. The original 1995-2000 Avenger was a Mitsubishi-based coupe. The car most buyers mean today is the second-generation four-door sedan sold from the 2008 to 2014 model years, built on the Chrysler JS platform it shared with the Chrysler Sebring and later the Chrysler 200.
Powertrain and equipment
Early 2008-2010 sedans used the 2.4-litre World Gas Engine four-cylinder (around 173 hp) and offered a 2.7-litre V6 and a 3.5-litre V6 higher up the range.
The Avenger was sold only as a four-door sedan.
Vehicle selection
As a mainstream, high-volume sedan, the Avenger is plentiful and inexpensive in the US, and many were fleet or rental cars — so history checking matters.
The Avenger suits an enthusiast who wants an affordable, roomy American sedan with genuine V6 performance and a look you simply will not see on every German street.

Pre-purchase review
The Avenger uses well-understood Chrysler-group hardware, so parts and knowledge are widely available. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 is generally robust, though early Pentastar engines (around 2011-2013) were known for a left-bank cylinder-head issue that could cause a ticking noise and a misfire; many were replaced under warranty, so confirm whether the head has been addressed. The 2.4-litre four is durable but modest in power.
Germany and Europe
US cars use amber front side markers, US-spec rear lighting, mph-primary instruments and North American infotainment.
Typical Vollabnahme work includes adapting front and rear lighting to European specification, confirming a functioning rear fog lamp, and confirming the speedometer reading in km/h.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
Selection: choose a documented car, ideally a 2011+ Pentastar V6 with service history.
Questions and answers
Yes. USCar Trader arranges the complete import as your broker, from sourcing through TUEV and registration.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The 2011-2014 cars with the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 offer the best interior and the strongest, most refined engine.
The hardware is well understood. Confirm the early-Pentastar cylinder-head fix, check the TIPM and keep the transmission serviced.
No. It was a North American model, which is part of its appeal as an unusual import.
Yes, once the TUEV single-vehicle approval is complete and lighting and documentation meet German requirements.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
