94 TT Dodge Stealth with 99 VR4 front bumper FTW.
I think I would like a 4 door car again.EDIT, Also, I have been looking at GTP's, SC'd rivs, SC'd Regals, but around here they are priced very high and a lot of them have a ton of miles. Plus, I don't like the interior of the GTP's.
I'm going to look into a 2.5RS, I think it ight be a good choice.
I have been looking at saller SUV's, like Durango's, since with gas prices you can get them for dan cheap. However, The gas mileage SUCKS on one of those.
I think I'm going to really consider a 2.5 RS. I want something safe in the winter, and something I can go hunting in. We usually just go pheasant or grouse hunting, so I just need something that will do well on snow covered dirt roads witht he very occasional "Off-roading" if you will.

Like the color, and the 2000-01 are my favorite body styles in the RS. As long as everything is ship shape with it having that rebuild title looks like a great deal.

I don't know if I would want an automatic or not, thats the only problem. -

I was thinking something like this, only in manual. It would be perfect. How would the modability be on soething like this, IF I got the mod bug....
LINK!!!You'll be happy with that as long as its not a auto.
I must say I do love the Durango in the show. The only downfall to ours is its full-time 4wd which even with the small engine, gets 14 in town and 18 on the highway. In the winter tho, 4WD LOCK FTW!!! We've never had any problems with it and they are relatively cheap. I actually almost bought one for myself after my parents got theirs.
95TSi, are you selling your VR4 already?

The only think that is keeping me from getting a durango is the gas mileage. I found a 2000, with under 80K that I talked him down to $7K. That is a damn good deal if you ask me. He told me he has had a hard time selling it because of the price of gas.Also, I've been thinking that maybe an auto isn't such a bad idea. From I've been reading in the past couple of days, the auto's are stronger than the manuals, and people have less problems with them. That might be a plus because I am looking at this car to be reliable. I have the Trans Am for fun when I want it. Plus, the GF would be able to drive it (hasn't driven a stick YET).
But....slamming gears sure is fun......

Nope.

In stock form, the auto is a little stronger in a 2.5 RS than a 5 speed, however a 5 speed is much easier to rebuild if it does break....and more fun to drive.I'd recommend the 5 speed, and this is coming from someone with a built auto.

Didn't paying for gas on it suck though? Thas the only thing preventing me from getting a durango.
I remember jims moms durango got lik 9 in town and 13 on the higway... paying that much for gas will quickly make up for how much money u saved on the price of the vehicle -
if u get one with the I6 youll get better milage(less cylinders and available 2wd). actually thursday was the 1st time i drove it in 3 months, i took insurance off it and parked cause im driving the 240. but i filled it up from just over 1/8th tank and it was $50, but my tank is somewhere in the low 20 gallons, i know i have put 21 gallons in it once, and there is a reserve in there to off acouple off gallons not shown on your electonics or gauge, at least thats what im told. and i get better mileage then my moms 05 with hemi and MDS with her driving. ive got to get it fixed or do something cause im running really rich right now. we have got 20mpg on the highway between here and montana at 75. but big tires and stuff ruin that opertunity. i have seen base models in the paper for around $4k right now, and good wranglers are expensive.
i can get about 280-290 miles on a tank, been so long since ive driven it. and the electronic stuff for mileage on mine is way off have no idea how but what ever i always check it the old fashion way. ill let you know what i get on this tank, its getting parked when the 240 runs again. and then when winter comes itll be out for some fun:icon_bounce:
