**Affordable, manual, and simple to understand.**

This 2014 Dodge Dart SE/AERO is the kind of car that makes sense for someone who wants inexpensive transportation without buying something completely boring. It is a front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission, Pitch Black exterior, black interior, and 114,123 miles.

The manual transmission is the hook. Most affordable sedans in this range are automatics, and many of them feel forgettable. This Dart gives the next owner something different a simple 6-speed manual sedan that is easy to drive, affordable to buy, and more engaging than the average commuter car.

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with the 6-speed manual transmission. It is not trying to be a performance car. It is a practical sedan with a little more driver involvement than most cars in this price range. For someone who still likes shifting gears, that matters.

The size also makes sense. The Dart gives you four-door practicality, usable trunk space, front-wheel-drive simplicity, and a compact footprint that works well for commuting, school, errands, first-car shopping, or someone who just needs affordable transportation.

The CARFAX history has a few positives worth noting. It shows 13 service history records, personal-use history, no total loss reported, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment reported, no odometer rollback indicated, no open recalls reported, and no title brands reported.

There is also some meaningful recent maintenance in the history. CARFAX shows prior brake work, tie rod replacement, oil changes, tire service, and in 2023 the clutch was replaced, clutch slave cylinder replaced, clutch system bled, and flywheel/flexplate replaced. On a manual-transmission car, that clutch-related service is an important part of the story.

For transparency, this is not a perfect-history car. CARFAX shows a 2018 accident reported as minor to moderate damage involving another motor vehicle, with damage listed to the front, right front, and right side. The vehicle was towed, but airbags did not deploy. The history also shows earlier repossession records and a failed emissions inspection in 2018 that later passed.

That should all be understood up front. The right buyer for this car is not looking for a flawless collector piece. They are looking for an affordable sedan that runs the right lane: manual transmission, usable mileage, clean title history, no open recalls reported, and a price point that keeps the purchase simple.

Market-wise, affordable manual cars are getting harder to find. Most cars in this range either have very high miles, weak history, automatic-only appeal, or very little personality. This Dart gives someone a black-on-black manual sedan with a recent clutch-related service history and a lower-cost entry point.

Call or text Buss Ford and ask for a quick walkaround and clutch/driving video before you come in. On an affordable manual car, the way it starts, shifts, drives, and presents is what matters most.
