Just look aroudn the forum.. The answers you are looking for are all over! Mainly you want to look at the headgasket, make sure its the MLS (Multi Layer Steel) gasket. Also, If its getting close to a 100,000 mile mark, has the timing belt and water pump been changed?

62,000 miles would be the ideal time for the stock head gasket to take a big dump. Search the forum on how to check if it's a MLS head gasket, that would be a good first step.

Heck I will sell you my 98 R/T for less then what they are charging you, and mine only has 87k on it. $6399 for that car is a rip no matter how you look at it. I would take $4000 for my R/T. Dont let those people rape you like that!
