Welcome to the Stratus area here, Nice truck by the way

Good luck with it. Do you know which engine and trim (Se/Es)you got? The 95-00 came only as a sedan, but had either a 2.0l (auto or 5 speed), 2.4l, or 2.5lv6 (auto-stick, Mitsubishi engine). You'll see a lot of asking if it's a coupe or sedan as you browse around here, but this only applies to 01+, as the sedan is a Dodge, the coupe is a Mitsubishi Eclipse, sharing only the name and some styling cues.

hmm...i dunno which model it is. It has a 4 cyl. auto in it, nothing fancy. seems like a base model but with power windows and locks. Yes, its the 4 dr model. Its not a bad extra car for us, but its going to need a few things. ill try to get a pic up soon. Ive been driving it everyday so far because the truck is in the body shop for a while.....

Most likely an SE since you have a 4cyl (95% that it's the 2.4l). Personally I LOVE the handling of the 1g Strat. Something about quad wishbone suspension that just feels right on the road
