1996 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"Great, cheap, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC/Compressor went at 128,000. Cost to repair? 200$
Master cylinder went at 131,000. Cost to repair? 400$, which included new rear drums and brake assembly, new front rotors, and all the work was completed the same day.
General comments?
This is a great car! Two problems in 9 years, both of which were cheap to fix.
I bought this car for 1400$ last year. The body is in almost perfect condition, and the interior is in perfect condition.
The ride is very nice, especially when you're used to riding in cheap foreign cars, which have a crappy ride and a lot of road noise.
The engine is LOUD! I've put a new intake on it and its very very loud, sounds very nice.
I will be buying a 2005 Stratus as soon as I have the cash, I love these cars.
