Up for sale today is a one of a kind Dodge Stratus SXT unlike any you will find used. I am selling my Dodge Stratus SXT that had a 2008 Avenger 2.7L V6 professionally installed by reputable shop. It is 100% mechanically flawless, and has a new 14k Mile Avenger engine in it. I am the second owner of this 2006 Stratus, and it comes FULLY loaded with Traction Control, smooth as butter automatic transmission, and every power option you could want. Including 4 Wheel Anti Lock Brakes, Power Door Locks, Windows, and Mirrors, Cruise Control, Factory CD Changer & Premium Sound, plus much more!

I bought this vehicle from the dealer in 2009 with 43k Miles on it. I heard all the horror stories about the 2.7L engine they put in these cars, but it lasted me all the way until June of 2013. I talked to a shop that explained the benefits of the 2.7L V6 they used in the new Dodge Avengers, a nearly bulletproof engine that I found with 14k miles for only $2,000. As I was planning on keeping the car quite a few more years (it is truly flawless,) I decided to have the shop install it, and fix any other problems it had, such as brakes and suspension, axle shafts, and a catalytic converter. They charged $2566 total to make it like a new car, plus the $2,000 engine I bought.

I scanned a copy of the engine replacement receipts at the bottom, as well as the carfax. The body of the car currently has 97,000 well cared for miles on it now, and with the new engine, it sounds and runs like a brand new car. The transmission shifts as smooth as butter, and all the electronic options work properly.

The body of the car looks great for its age as you can see from the pictures. The interior is very nice and extremely clean as well, and all electronic options work and there are no trouble lights on the dash. The car runs and drives great in the city and on the highway with NO ISSUES we could find. Just passed eCheck last week. The only imperfection is a small rust bubble on the hood as you can see. 2 weeks ago, the front lower control arms, bushings, tie rods, and wheel bearings were replaced as well.

This is probably the most well maintained and ONLY Dodge Strauts you will find with the upgraded 2.7L Avenger engine. If you love the looks and reliability of a Stratus and want a brand new bulletproof motor, I highly doubt you'll ever find a used car as nice as this. I promise in this price range, you will not find a car with only 14k miles that will last another 10+ years. Please do not contact me unless you have the funds available and are looking to buy. My number is 614-522-9626.

I would trust this car to drive across the country with NO ISSUES. I also work for a business that owns a vehicle transporter broker program, and can ship the vehicle anywhere in the United States for a few cents a mile if you'd like it shipped. Contact me for a rate, and check my feedback! I've sold a few of my previous cars on eBay, and everyone has been flawless with not a single issue.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving 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.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
