Sawzall out rust - install flares. Fixed.

$1800 is basically parts-car money for this Jeep.

I doubt the PO installed those components. They are very period-correct for that car. Brush guard and KC Daylighters(or knockoffs) were common back then. A lot of those issues are extremely easy. The rear brakes are locking because the rear brake cylinder is leaking on the shoes and ruining them. ABS won’t work if…

NP. The price difference for this versus the David Tracy Jeep, more than makes up for all sheer torture that he went through to get that thing road worthy. It’s only $1800, It’s not like it’s five grand for a tall Civic or anything, that’s even older... Smh at yesterday.

BMW’s efficient dynamics system didn’t have a capacitor and instead used a huge deep cycle battery. I seem to recall that if you used it only on short drives it would kill the battery every couple of years and BMW eventually made it part of the annual service to replace the battery. That was fine when the car was new…

Still a baffling decision. If it really was a  money-losing proposition they would have cut it along with the other cars last year. But if they’re making money on these cars, why not keep selling them? Surely it can’t cost that much to federalize the next gen Mondeo/updated Focus ST? I just don’t get culling the…

One trick I have developed to keeping older cars is to just fix them when they break and to just replace worn out parts. I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to that are thinking about replacing their car because it needs shocks and struts. One guy said he wanted to get a new car because his current one needed…

Y’know, when you’ve had the same best-selling vehicle for the last 37 years consecutively, and there’s absolutely no reason to expect that will change, you can be forgiven for giving F-series pickups pretty heavy weighting in your current and near-future product mix.

I know, wrong car, but it has been done on a modern Dodge

Yep. The power-takeoff unit and internal water pump are the only two notable issues.

More evidence that whatever problems there are in FCA, their paint color department is perfect.

I passed a bright green 2015 with black stripes on its hiney at a random used car lot today in MA...still turned my head and thought it looked great. Not my first choice of car, but I appreciate them and that Dodge is making them. They and Ford dueling it out with insane huge V8s, RWD and 3 pedals with 600+hp in a new…

A well optioned Challenger is the best sporty GT coupe you can buy for under $150,000. It actually handles really well for a car its size, has the best engine/transmission combos on sale (this side of a V12 Ferrari), and the interior is pretty good for non-hellcat money. It also looks and sounds like a proper muscle…

I think they can owe a lot of it to its styling. They went full-retro, and arguably did it very well. It wears modifications like hood vents and intakes, splitters, and spoilers without looking awkward.

It does help that the challenger is one of the best looking cars on the market today and definitely in its segment. The front end in them is brilliant and the rest of the car is nice and clean yet aggressive in an understated way.

Age aside, keep in mind that not many cars were being sold at all in 2008,2009, and 2010. We were still trying to come out of The Great Recession. As an industry insider myself, I never thought I would ever be able to buy another new car, be able to keep my home from going into foreclosure, or even think about being…

The Challenger also has the best range of colors of any car on the market under $100,000.

“The Dodge Challenger is a muscle car that’s been around in its current form since 2008, and has roots in 1990s Mercedes-Benz architecture.”

Here’s a clue to car manufacturers: not everyone wants their new car bloated with tech nannies and “features” that do nothing to enhance the driving experience. The Challenger is still successful because it’s really good at being just a car and providing a dash of style and performance while doing it.

So they moved one of each trim level? yawn.
