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.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
