No I bought it at 135,000 miles twelve years ago for $1800. Since then I've done less than $1000 in maintenance outside of brakes, tires and fluid changes..... A pretty good car I think. Dodge seems to have done a good job on these cars. My dad had one a year newer. It turned out to be a fantastic car too.

It's a 3.3L car which has always run flawless. I've changed both O2 sensors at $120 at 180,000, timing gasket at about 225,000, a fuel pump $80 I think at 255,000, and a crank sensor $15 at 305,000. I've always changed the oil myself about 3,000 - 5,000 miles and the trans fluid about 35,000 miles. Coolant gets changed every other year with the plugs. I changed the radiator $120 and three tie rod ends at about $20 somewhere in there.

It's really been a great car though it's not as nice or as well optioned as yours. It's the same color with a great big crater in the hood where a buddy danced on it The headliner is missing too, but otherwise it's not a bad looking car for the age.

I loaned it out last week, it come back with a broken transmission, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to drive it.... If you can help let me know:
