lol both my parents drive olds intrigues, (the second one, was because they were irrestibly discounted so much) one a 98 with a 3.8 and one a 2002 with a 3.5, the transmission on the 3.8 destroyed itself at 20k miles, covereed under warrenty thankgod, considering it would have cost almost $3000 without it. Other than that it's been running good though, I have thought bout buying it from him, but I kind of would like to get my own car something not handed down from my parents lol. But as far as dodge reliability, we got a caravan that's 6 years old with 70k on it, and it hasnt ever had the slightest problem at all, always starts, and runs smooth, my friend has a 95 intrepid with 100k on it, same experience, I know older dodges like the omni are bad news though, my neightbors omni started a huge friggin fire... lol Anyways how much horsepower does an eclipse have? Also Mercury cougar, how much hory's does a V6 on that got. I found some website that gave 0-60 times but i don't trust it, the Ford Mustang got about a second faster than my minivan? lol

Keep any sugestions you got comming! Preludes are out of my budget, and civics are too, plus i dun like em anyhow. Also what's the best website to look up cars for classifieds with, i use carsoup.com and cars.com i like carsoup better though.

Thanks Everyone! Keep it commin!
