my dad has like a 96 beater stratus
original motor trans etc
thing runs amazing still at like 259k miles

im amazed lol

i had two stratus'. One, the 99, i used for going college for my a&p certification. It was 100 miles round trip every day for a couple years. After college, i traded it in and bought that hemi charger.

Last year i bought another stratus, a 2002 as a winter beater but decided to just fllip it. Got it for $1200 cuz it needed a timing job and water pump. I paid like 200 for a new belt and pump, spent 2 hours and put it in, and sold it the following week on craigslist for 3500 cash. lol

Stratus was a secondary vehicle as i dont drive the spirit r/t in winter. Ive always had 2-3 vehicles my whole life lol. Like right now, i still dont drive the spirit r/t in winter, so i drive my new 2014 challenger as my winter beater lol.

But regardless, as i stated before, i buy vehicles for a reason. My reason for the stratus was for going to college cuz i dont drive the r/t in winter. Easy to work on car, cheap to fix, tank of a motor and trans. Had over 200k on the 99 when i traded it in and it ran like a champ.

You don't trade cars with 200k in, sorry

I mean, you can, but they won't give you much more than a pat on the back.

well, i kind of ptsd raged on it one day and the entire dash, gauges and vents, and airbags, were all stabbed out, i smash 2 fenders and on it and threw my combat knife through the rear drivers side door. Was a big slit all the way through it.

Ran great, looked like shit. Gave me 750 for it. Not bad considering i put 60k miles on and only paid 1200 for it 3 years earlier. All though, it did have fairly new winterforces on it haha.
