Considering one of these for summer.

Mid-to-late 1990's mid/full size sport-coupe, 2.5l v6.

Dodge's NASCAR base car for the past 12 years or so.

Anyone with experience?

Any tales of horror or enjoyment?

Thanks in advance.

I have seen some nice looking black Avengers...not sure if they were all stock or modded though.

I love how they look.

Keep in mind on the newer ones that they can come with 17" rims, and 17" tires aren't cheap. Just a heads up when looking for one, if it says "needs tires" check out the cost first.

These are rebadged Mitsubishi.

I don't think that'll help much.

One of the least reliable components in Chryslers for years was the transmission, which was made by Mitsubishi.

The turning radius on the Sebring coupe are horrendous, you will notice it trying to park.

I've been in the hunt for a car for a couple months (finally settled on a prelude.. which looks like it's gonna bite me in the ass for insurance.. but that's another thread)

anyway, i test drove both (pretty much same car) and they're shitboxes, seriously.. you're gonna waste a lot of money in repairs. yes, the engines are pretty good, but everything else is still chrysler and totally unreliable. front end, brakes, electrical... terrible.
