OT: Breeze / Stratus / Cirrus

Just wondering if anyone on the list has any experience with any of these
cars. One of our friends has a '98 Plymouth Breeze sitting in his driveway
not currently in driveable condition. He's moving in a week, so he's in "get
it outta my driveway" mode and willing to let me have it for next to nothing.
I'm going to take him up on it and use it as a daily commuter to save the
miles and fuel expense on my '95 Dakota.

He says the biggest thing it needs is brake lines. He said the pads are new
this year, but the lines have gone bad and it doesn't have any pressure at all
in the pedal. How big a job is this? Is it something I can do in my
driveway, or should I try to get some time on Jon's lift? Of course, I'll
have to trailer it down there, so I'd rather fix it at home if it's fairly
easy.

Any other common issues with these cars that I should check out before I start
driving it? He said it's the four banger, and I'm guessing that it would be
an automatic. Other than the brakes, it sounds like it'll need a new driver's
seat farily soon, plus a few other pretty minor things. I'm not sure how long
it's been sitting, but I know he was still driving it as of July this year.

Thanks.
