'02 Stratus R/T 3.0L 126,000 miles.
-Just bought it, in non-running condition (body in mint condition), for $800. Replaced the clutch as well as head, valve cover, intake and exhaust gaskets. Timing, power steering and serpentine belts and pulleys. Water pump, spark plugs and wires. Distributor/rotor, battery, tires, all sway bar links, lateral link. Did oil change, hydraulic fluid (manual transmission) flush, coolant flush. Its like a new car now!

Did you have to replace the timing belt and water pump? I heard you have to replace them at around 100k. Mine has 111k on it now and I'm worrying.

planning on moving down to the fl keys in the end of august and driver it all the way down from northeast pa, bout 1500 miles in 24 hours. gonna have it looked over completely to get the okay from a mechanic but i already know it can handle it.
Anyone one on here ever put a trailer hitch on their stratus? thinking of doing it but have my doubts cause my motor is just a 4 cylinder.
