Personally I'd go for a 1994-96 Impala SS or a Caprice (especially a 9C1) and make it look like an Impala. The LT1 is a good engine IMO- only issues are with the distributor (opti) but if you take care of it and keep the waterpump from dripping on it it'll last a long time. My dad has a 96 Imp- average mpg is in the low 20's. Last time I drove it to Tennessee I was getting 26mpg cruising at 80. Drove it through Deal's Gap also lol. Does pretty good for a big car

I like going sideways too much to buy a Fwd "hot rod."

well I bought the aurora , its too nice to pass up under 1300 from poor condition . gets 22 mpg for the v8 . and power is there actaully put me back in my seat when it hit 3k lol

if I get a good deal on my truck its gone if it was a quad cab I would keep but with baby coming I could use the money in my saving and get a newer ram within a couple years

well i bought the car and sold it already . guy as sneeky and sold it with a bad head gasket and being a caddy motor it would have xcosted more to replace than what i paid for the car ..

anyhow im going to look at something else

im thinking about going to go look aty a 2004 dodge durango , my gf has 2 girls and we have a baby coming in may. my s/c ram doesnt have room for evreyone. i would love to keep it but family will be first. we need a family vehical

this is the truck im gonna look at .im wondering what you guys pay for yours and how many miles and how many it currently has. i want something that will last for a bit .

is the 2004 a relaible truck and i think the hemi was better built than the previous hemi .

my truck has the 5.9 with goodies and hope the durango will have a lil more pep

You ain't lyin'... My step-dad had a mid-90s Civic and I did wheel bearings in the thing twice in the five years he had it.

My vote would be for a modest size, 4 door, 4 banger import though. I had an '89 Sentra wagon that was my work car when I had my business. EVERYBODY who worked for me drove the hell out of it. Had 155k on the clock in '96 when I bought it and when I sold it with the business in '04 it had 320k on it and it still ran like a top, burned a bit of oil, and took a new clutch and two water pumps and needed a timing belt while I had it, but you couldn't kill the thing. Side note, I bought it for $2150 and sold it for $1300 - eight years and 165,000 miles later. Can't beat that cost of ownership!!!

Those durango's are stinkin UGLY, but they are great vehicles. It might have the 4.7, but either the 4.7 or 5.7 are good motors. Like everything else, if not maintained, they won't last as long.
