I may be buying an 01 stratus on friday. Its only got 54k on it. Its a SE coupe. Black. Nice looking car... I have a question though, the car is a V6. But everywhere i have looked it says that only the R/T's or the 4 doors have a V6 for that year. Is this true?

Also, how reliable are these cars? I checked out carsurvey.org most of the reviews were good stating no problems even after 70k. What kind of stuff should I be on the look out for or be expecting?

 

the 2 door is the r/t, 4dr is the sedan. i have a 02 se 4dr with the 2.7 v-6. has about 50k on it right now. 30k is on the german autobahn, the only prob i've had is with the a/c fan switch. still runs great. the maint i did so far: changed the brake pads and front rotors, new set of tires, and reg oil and filter changes. i've been happy with mine.

 

I drive an 01 coupe se with the 3.0 v6 and i love it, it has nice power pick up rides smoothly mine has 95k and no major problems so far i highly recommend it

 

The se and the rt in the coupe are the same thing motor wise the rt just has a finer tuned suspension
