How Many Miles On Your Stratus???
I have done 15 miles on it.
But it has 207,597 almost all highway. Needs a little TLC but I'm gonna clean this sucker up and return it to DD glory!!

Bought a '98 2.4L, still not sure on variant. Has 338k, not sure of what was done previously other than new basttery and shocks, but I just replaced the fuel pump and filter (oem was still in it!) and am replacing cat soon (actually going to run catless). Body and under body in pretty good shape, engine seems pretty clean other than some oil very slowly leaking out the trans, and theres a leak in poerr steering, but so far no indications anythi g else is faulty, although at this many k's on it im saving money incase something happens.

2003 SE, 2.4
Bought in Jan. 2009 with 133,000 miles
Now resting in 2015 with 197,000 miles.
In that time I've rear ended an Alero (2009), a Lexus (2013), and hit a brick mailbox in a rural area that was reinforced with a steel beam (2014). For the cars I've hit, I definitely was going 30+ mph, and they were going 0-5 mph. For the mailbox, I was only going 5mph, but it was extremely icy and the road slanted just enough that I gained momentum.
Needless to say I've replaced the plastic bumper and front inner plastic fenders twice. Ready for the third time. Now it needs the radiator support and A/C condenser from the mailbox fiasco. I already replaced the metal bumper that runs in front of them.
Also replaced Camshaft Position Sensors twice over the last 6 years, the fuel pump and the radiator replaced, also replaced a brake caliper that froze and destroyed my rotor on one side. Replaced foggy headlights twice. I've replaced the sun visor clips twice, they still break every time. Driver's window and passenger's rear window don't roll down anymore, trunk hinges are shot, front fenders and hood/hinges are shot, radiator core support is mangled and need replaced before the bumper goes back on. Needs shocks/struts all around, just snapped a ball joint on the driver's rear this past week. Leaks oil and transmission fluid like a stuck hog. Hasn't had a proper oil change since 175,000 miles because I have to add oil so often. Even with all that, it runs and drives daily. Except my current ball-joint problem. A/C still blows cold, shifts good, lots of power, super zippy. It's held together well for how badly I've neglected it.
My only complaint about the stratus is the poor, poor quality of the interior plastics. Especially around the window controls. UGH. Love it to death!
