Working on a Second Gen Dodge is like working on an old air-cooled Volkswagen. They're very simple and everything is easy to rear and/or remove.

I'd recommend the OP get a Crown Victoria (I have one). They and their parts are cheap and plentiful. The trunk is massive, the car has a 5-star crash rating, and the 4.6L V8 is capable of 24mpg on the highway. They're also like driving a recliner down the road.

Don't get a Fwd v8 car. That's a recipe for disaster. The weight + torque of a v8 on a fwd chassis will wear through and twist up front end components.

from what I been reading these are pretty reliable cars up past 180k and this one only has 75k and he's way under kbb. I could prob sell and make a profit if I wanted . its big enough for a family not looking for a race car .

talk about gas guzzling boat...get a VW TDI jetta

comes with all the hooks and such for modern child seats, airbags everywhere, reliable, do great in bad weather, and being a turbo diesel will get 40+mpg without all the extra weight and crap to go wrong with it like a ridiculous hybrid has.
