Well Id hope a brand new car wouldnt squeak or rattle. Give it a few years. It is a Ford afterall.

My dad’s has 47k on it. Oh yeah, the cd player fucks up alot too. I really missed my truck that day because of how his car felt compared to the truck.

I think the SES is above the ZX4. I see its got aluminum wheels and my dad’s has hubcaps on steel wheels.

$2850 with it not running, which aint bad imo for what the car is and its history lol. The most offered anywhere else was like $500-1000.

timing chain tensioners fail… throws the timing off and they eat valves like there’s no tomorrow. that and the fact that dodge cant produce a decent automatic transmission to save their asses.

Ive seen several for sale for dirt cheap needing motors. The 2.7 was definately the worst though.

I never understood the layout of those cars with the way the motor was setup like a rwd either.

Chrysler tranny’s have always been weak. My mom’s Caravan’s tranny went at 47k. I remember seeing a Ram with 29k in for a tranny at my old job.
