133k Black 2005 Dodge Stratus R/t W/ Sport Auto Shift In Need Of Some Easy Fixes on 2040-cars
Irving, Texas, United States
|
Fairly low mileage car with several little fixes needed but no major mechanical issues. I've had the car thoroughly checked out by USAA as well as our local dodge specialist here in Irving and with the exception of the items listed below is in good mechanical condition given its a 2005. KBB Private Party in FAIR Condition Value is $3,600.
Engine runs strong and transmission shifts smoothly. Has an automatic/manual sport shifting technology making for some fun and spirited drives! 2.7L V6 R/T Engine Sport/Auto/Slap Shift Transmission Sun Roof (No leaks) No Oil or Fluid Leaks ICE COLD A/C Minor Dings, Dents, Scratches Serpentine Belt is loose and will need to be replaced soon. Once replaced I'd feel comfortable driving this car anywhere in the country. As a result of the belt being loose it squeaks some when first started but the annoying sound goes away soon after starting. While I had it for sale locally someone broke into the car which caused damage to the driver side scissor arm and control assembly. I still have the original door panel and electronic lock mechanism etc but the driver side power window assembly needs replacement. The driver side door handle needs replacement as all this was damaged when the car was recently broken into. Comes with an extra starter - I had an electric issue about 6 months ago and I thought I was going to need a starter so I bought one however the problem was with the alternator which I had replaced with a new part by a licensed mechanic. Car is located in Irving, TX. I would feel comfortable driving the vehicle most anywhere however knowing the serpentine belt needs to be replaced soon and is a bit loose I'd recommend replacing it before going cross country. This vehicle is well suited for the buyer who is looking for a sporty and spirited daily driver and has the time, know how, and resources to fix the many small things that need to be fixed to be considered in Good or better condition. I recently bought both a new car and a new truck and now need to let go of the car. I still find myself preferring to drive this car over my new car as its much more exciting and fun to drive. I'm not aware of anything else needing work on the car and have been as thorough as possible in describing the condition of the car. Please make deposit of $500.00 within 48 hours of auction close and arrange for the balance within one week of auction close. Plan on picking up the vehicle in a reasonable time frame (a week or two or call me to work it out) I can deliver the vehicle within a couple hundred mile radius for a minimal convenience fee. |

Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack
Thu, 17 Apr 2014While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
