You can for $40 bucks but not sure what information you're looking for on a 200k mile vehicle.

You obviously want to buy it, do it. Just don't be mad when you start having issues a few weeks/months down the road.

If you buy it, betting electrical gremlins show up first.

I've owned vehicles from all 4 US produced brands and I can say without a shadow of a doubt Chrysler has the worst electrical systems. GM and Ford are about equal, and Toyota is slightly ahead of those two. They all put out some bullshit in the 90's and it cleared up by the early 2000's for the most part.

The only electrical issue on our cruze at 115k miles was a bad coil pack. I replaced it for $60 in 5 minutes time.

My corvette hasn't had any electrical issues that can't be attributed to mods and the design of that system is bananas.

Crown vic is still chugging along. Window motors are shot.

2014 silverado is like new still

My Formula is on jackstand but it had no issues at 100k.


If you don't buy a shitty base model econo deal or expect a fully loaded luxury model to have no issues with all of the electrical widgets at 15 years/200k miles you won't be disappointed.

F-body window motors are bad too. They are probably from the same supplier lol.
