Don't do it. You'll regret it. Keep shopping for something that's proven to be more reliable, less problematic.

Is this a DOHC 2.4l or SOHC 2.4l? Crucial information.
How many doors does it have?

Doesn't matter which version, both are going to be nothing but problems for as long as you own the car.

That's because you're in denial or just happened to get the only amazing trouble free car.

A little maintenance goes a long way
I cant speak for the DOHC (sedan) because I dont have one, but the SOHC has treated me (and a few others I have met) very well.

Or maybe he's looking at a 2.4 Stratus like he specifically mentioned in the original post.
