1987 Dodge Raider 2 Door review from North America
"Excellent through anything you or mother nature can throw at it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump was replaced at 198000 when I first bought the car for a measaly $500 Dollars.
I had a problem where the frame rotted through and the shock mount broke off, but I had that welded back on for $100 dollars and she is back on the road.
I replaced the valve cover gasket at 198000 because it had a mild leak.
General comments?
When I first purchased my Raider the idea was to make it my second vehicle because I was heading to college and my Dodge Charger was no longer practicl. A few cheap fixes and she has been golden for 8 thousand miles in only 3 months. I think the clutch is on its way out, but I believe I can baby it for a few thousand more miles, but other than that the car is absolutely nothing, but reliable I would definitely buy another one!
