I BOUGHT MY 2001 STRATUS R/T USED. NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER I HAD BOUGHT IT, I HAD TO PAY OVER $100 TO GET IT TO IDLE RIGHT. THEN I WAS IN A NOT-AT-FAULT ACCIDENT 6 MOS. LATER WITH OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGES TO THE FRONT END AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. AFTER THE WRECK I HAD TO PAY OVER $ 1,300 TO GET THE SHOCKS & STRUTS FIXED JUST TO HAVE IT MESS UP NOT EVEN 4 MOS. LATER. IT ALSO AS A ROTTEN ODOR COMING FROM IT OCCASIONALLY. I ALSO PAID ALMOST $200 FOR A NEW BATTERY TO HAVE IT START TO DRAIN NOT EVEN 6-7 MOS. LATER! AND WHEN THE BATTERY HAD TO BE CLEANED, I HAD TO GET IT RE-IDLED AGAIN! NOW IT WON'T STAY STARTED UNLESS YOU'RE GIVING IT GAS. I LOVE THE LOOK, BUT WORST CAR I EVER BOUGHT. AND IT'S NOT EVEN PAID OFF!!!! *E.G.* *TR
