Default 2005-2006 Stratus SXT

Hey all,
I am planning to get my 1st car ever - getting good pricing on used 2005-2006 Stratus SXTs - ~20K miles for $9K-$11K.

Do you guys recommend getting the Stratus (i know Dodge has discontinued making them now). Anything in particular i should look out for?

Any inputs/comments will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Coupe or Sedan? Even though they are both Dodges, the Coupe is made by Mitsibishi and the Sedan is made by Dodge. So there are some major differences between the two.

I have a coupe, so I can't really help you. The only thing I have heard about the Sedan's was oil sludging in the 2.7's.

I would go for the sedan i have a 05' sxt, i paid 10K for it, got it a year ago and not one prob with it sofar, had 30k miles on it.

The only prob i had was my fault, i didnt screw the radiator cap on tight, and all the antifreeze leek out and nearly overheated the engine, luckly i pulled over and turned off my engine before it hit the red line
