One of the most popular trunk mounted bike racks for your 2009 Dodge Avenger is the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT. This bike rack will be compatible with your small factory spoiler.

This meets your price point and has some really neat features like the cushioned and anti sway cradles which will help prevent any bike to bike or bike to car contact. The Passage mounts to the rear of your Dodge Avenger with six integrated straps and Thule's patented Fit Dial system, which adjusts the rack base to ensure a snug fit.

If you plan on transporting any alternative framed bikes, like most women's bikes are, you will need an adapter bar like # UB01 to mount them properly in the cradles. If you wanted to lock the rack to your vehicle Thule offers a security strap # TH533.

I have linked all the above mentioned parts as well as an installation video of the Passage to this page for your convenience.
