Looking at buying an '04 Dodge SX 2.0 Sport. Anything in particular I should ask the owner about? Anything to be concerned about?
Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer, My name is XXXX XXX I will be assisting you.. May I ask you what kind of Vehicle this is? Avenger, Stratus? Thanks!!
Would you happen to have the last 8 of the VIN?
Ok, Do you know if the timing belt has been replaced?
How about the mileage?
Ok, that is only about 60,000 Miles.. The timing belt is a issue with any vehicle that is timing belt driven. The maintence schedule is 105,000Miles
So you are ok for now...But get it changed before 105,000Miles along with the water pump....
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles and wires
Transmission should be serviced at 60,000Miles
Make sure check engine light isn't on..
Check brakes..
Make sure oil has been changed every 3,000Miles
I understand.. These are very good vehicles.. If you keep up the maintence, you should have very little trouble...
That is only 125,000 miles and I do not see any reason why you will need a transmission before then.. Make sure the transmission fluid and filter has been changed...
Service transmission every 60,000Miles
No, if there is a shaking at highway speeds that will be a tire issue.. That is not the timing belt.
I have not heard of the shaking issue...
Just a sec, im looking for you..
There are issue about the vehicle skipping-Misfiring.. You will need a software update to the Computer to correct this.. An issue with a popping in front suspension, the repair is Installing a rubber gasket to CV axle....
And the factory radio won't play burnt cd's...
That's about it....
Have I answered all of your questions?
No, all the repair (If needed) will be less that 500.00
The main issue is customer's not keep the maintence up on these vehicles..
You are very welcome!!!!
Thank you for choosing JustAnswer!!!
