Thanks! i am pretty impressed by 24 around town for a V6. I think that's the car i would like for her. now we just need to see what is going to happen with her car, still waiting for our mechanic to call...
Dodge has a couple good deals right now, 3000 cash or 2000 cash and 0% for 36 or 48 months. They also offer 400 cash to recent college grads.

my wife has a 2002 stratus sedan with the v6 (i wanted the v6). so far it
has been a good car. it has plenty of room and pretty decent pick up. gas
milage is around 24 mpg for the usual around town driving and her driving
back and forth to work which is all surface streets. i dont recall about
the highway mileage though. We have taken it on several trips to vegas
(about 5 hours drive) with 4 people in the car and plenty of space for all
of us.

would have to consider bob caldwell only b/c we have bought our last 6
vehicles from them. I think that should stand for some kind of discount.
They should also be running the discount for the auto show comming in a few
weeks-that's how i got my dak.
