133k Black 2005 Dodge Stratus R/t W/ Sport Auto Shift In Need Of Some Easy Fixes on 2040-cars

Year:2005 Mileage:133600
Location:

Irving, Texas, United States

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.

2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop hits the pavement ahead of Detroit

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Dodge is getting ready to spread the Blacktop-themed love to the smallest member of its lineup. Last year, the automaker offered up Blacktop versions of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey. And now the Dart, too, gets its dark on for 2014, with the $295 package offered on Dart SXT models equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group. The Dart Blacktop will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.
As with the other Blacktop special-edition models, the Dart Blacktop gets glossy black accents for a "sporty, sinister look." The blacked-out treatment spreads across the 18-inch wheels to the crosshair grille, grille surround and headlamp bezels. The interior sees a similar treatment, with black and light tungsten or black and ruby red cloth to go with red accent stitching on the instrument panel, center console and seat bolsters.
For the 2014 model year, all Dart SXT and Limited models receive the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark engine with 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and since the Blacktop is based on the SXT, that's the powerplant buyers of this special-edition will get, too. Expect the 2014 Dart Blacktop to hit dealers in the first quarter, and while you're waiting, feel free to read more in the official press release below.
