97 w/ 2.0 and 5 speed manual has 403,386 mile on the original motor and transmission. Never been rebuilt.

 

You drive a lot. 28,000 miles in a year and a half?

 

the car is 21 1/2 years old so 400k/21.5 is less than 19,000 per year.

 

2005 Dodge Stratus SVT with the V6 2.7 flex fuel engine, 77,500 miles.

 

 

2002 Stratus R/T 278k 5-speed car.

 

Stratus RT Coupe 3.0 / 2002 /
98 000 miles

 

2001 Stratus ES 2.7 Autostick, Full sized spare, Factory lease - got it with 15K miles on it.
249K miles on body. About 80K on Jasper reman and local reman transmission - Always synthetic fluids, but thrust bearings on the crank still wore out and took out the crank.
One year ago:
SACHs struts, new bushings all around, Dorman front strut mounts (Extra compliance for the bad New England roads), gas tank fill neck, battery, radiator support bracket (Rusted through)
Two years ago:
EBC Green-Stuff pads, BFG G-Force Sports (Summer)

To fix:
Front cover leak (have parts, no time)
P0442 code (despite new fill neck and new gas caps), nothing visible anywhere!
P1684 code
Driver's seat won't go up/down (There's one in a yard close by)
Heater Blend mechanism sticks if it's not lubricated every three months - Took the dash back to the firewall to find this out!
Various rusty spots (Rockers, fender, hood, rt-rear door)

Or, I'll sell it, not sure. Runs strong, corners beyond the capabilities of the tires, lots of misc replaced over the years. Do my own work (except tranny and engine these past 10 years)

Other rides:
'91 SHO 254K miles, '06 Grand Caravan, 197K miles
