Summary:
Great, but I am looking for the rear wheel drive v8 in the future
Faults:
I have replaced the alternator (2002), water pump (2005), transmission (2004) and have to again because DJ Transmissions did not do their rebuild as well as they could have - 1st winds out and locks and third slips up until you are above 50 mph, next is to update the suspension 8/05.
General Comments:
I am having a lot of fun with the car. It is starting not to be above average for hp for a 6 popper, but can hold it’s own. It is a 3500 lb car not 4500 so for the hp it can go pretty good.
I have a model that has everything that the year came with which is why I buy used cars instead of new. 20000 seems a little insane to me even though that is the norm for a new car now a day.
I am a maintenance nut so I do a lot of work to it to keep it tip top. The only thing I am disappointed in is the trany because the chop shop that rebuilt it won’t stand by the crap rebuild they did.
I am please with the 24 mpg that it gets. I have put a lot of miles on in 3 years so I am good.
