Used Dodge Stratus......yeah or neah??

[redgtxdi]

Have an opportunity to pick one up on the cheap......(but after some quick research looks like they ALL go cheap).

EDIT: It's a '97

I suppose the only advantage I'd have is knowing who owned this one before & knowing that it's been well taken care of. New struts, tires. Auto, A/C power, etc. Has 110,000 miles on it.

Was asking $5K, now $4K, and I can probably widdle down to $3,500.

Worth it?????

Or stay far, far away???????

my dad had one, it actually wasnt too bad, what year? I dont see that mentioned...

Damn, only 110k miles?

Our 2001 Swift has 150k, kilometres though.

Ive got a 2002 stratus SE. Its a pretty solid car, I can't really commplain about it.

Doh sorry..........'97!! (I'll edit the original post)

I have 108,000 miles on my '98 Camry so I don't think the mileage is out of control or anything but I know NOTHING about Dodges so even less on any specific model.

i'd look for something else. at that price you can get a second gen altima.

In that mileage area I'd start looking at Japanese cars.

Get a subaru.

Look at used car auctions or something, you can get something newer than 2000 easily for that price. Friend got an 02 Stratus SE (6 cylinder model) for about $5k a year or two ago

There is no way I'd pay more than $1000 for a > 13 y/o car unless it was a classic.

nay nay nay, my friend has a 98 stratus, he paid $4k a year ago and it has ~85k, it has been nothing but problems...these are money pits
