36K new?There is no way in hell that car listed for anything that began with a 3 and would be shocked if even in the 20’s especially since it’s seems to be the base model.Free bump no less.

D
Edit:MSRP: $14,235 - $16,110 from carsdirect.com

36k miles when it was new to him… re read i think

nah it says it was 36,000(really) when new.What else could it mean?I know it’s not Karu’s car but Bernard seems a lil off.
D

Ummm?!?!?!?!?! Anyone else see a problem with this?

Yeah, I can’t believe Chrysler is still using that cheap rust-prone plastic. I drive a Dodge Stratus!!! JK, good luck w/ the sale.:beer:

gasket between engine and transmission is probably a rear main seal or input shaft seal… Not an easy fix, really. but for 1500… :gotme:

LOL!

i actually asked him about this. i couldn’t believe it too.

he really bought that car at 36K miles.

then drove it to 150K…unbelievable.

i guess he did a delivery job for some time. plus lot’s of commute here and there.

indeed…

strange as it is.

well, i think it happened after he got bumped by somebody (mentioned above) and had to replace the hood.

somehow the old bumper managed to get rusted because of that accident. therefore he replaced it with an unpainted one.

bumped.

car needs to go! remember, price is negotiable…

good beater here!

No, the base models came with the 2.0 SOHC I4 and no pw/pl/pm.

bumpity bump.

weekend bump.

bumpie before christmas.

ill give u 500 cash a.s.a.p

thank you for the offer!

if you don’t mind, can you please contact him through email?

i’m sure he’ll be happy to talk about your offer… :slight_smile:

ROFLMAO, are you serious?

excuse me, dude, i really don’t know what happened…

i just tried to put what he’s saying on words.

for more detail, please contact the owner… don’t scold me…
