I'm looking into a 2002 Stratus with the 2.7L engine. It only has 88,000 miles on it and has rear disk brakes and looks to be in great shape. It's from a used car dealer and not a private party. He is asking $4,000 which is down from $5,000 he was asking a couple weeks ago. After some on line research it appears these engines were known for sludge issues and water pumps going out. I'm just wondering if anyone has some advice on things to look for or perhaps to run away fast! I've been looking at this vintage of Stratus because of the prices and lower insurance and licensing fees than newer cars otherwise I would like a new Avenger R/T or Chrysler 200. Thanks for any advice!
