IIRC they came out for MY2006. I was an engineer at Chrysler at the time, and was pretty familiar with them. The early ones had really terrible interiors (thanks, Bob Nardelli.) I never liked the CVT much (it was a Jatco unit, eseentially the same as that used on the Nissan Versa, but with DCX's own calibration) and neither did a lot of customers. With a diesel (VW 2.0, not sold in the US) and a manual it was pretty OK. They've never been better than decent, I think, but they are decent. If you could get a new one for that little money and had a good reason for buying a new car like that, it doesn't sound like a bad idea.
