There’s also something fishy when the 01-06 made more power than the 07+ 3.8L, yet there are absolutely zero changes between them other than adding a 6-spd auto.

Sorry yours was a pile. Just because you bought a POS, doesn’t mean they all are.

516whp dodge shadow, 3.0 v6:

Hope it stays that way for you.

Can’t believe I forgot this pile when I listed our F250:

I bought an entire rust free 94 Voyager that runs and drives for $120.

Which is the same mpg as the Hemi rwds get around here.

The 94 plows through snow better than most trucks around here. It’s been through over 12" many times with no issue. Pulled out my friends WRX when he was stuck in his parking spot, which coincidentally is AWD.

Here we’re stuck with an abundance of CUVs, no one offers a decent wagon anymore.

Dark Angel came 1st.

Dig it out. Build it into something you’ll enjoy. Continue with life.

Fuck Carfax.

The tauri automatically looks better. It’s all the same color and not wrecked.

It had 85k when we got rid of it. We bought it brand new in hope of having a reliable car with good mileage.

The 3.5L was and still is a great motor. When it was introduced it made more power and torque than almost all V8s.

The 3.1 and tech 4 were extremely reliable. The ride is still on par with econoboxes today.

Good riddance.

That’s the supercharged 3.3L Sport, it’s lowered now. Also have a 94 that’s getting fresh paint and lowered this spring. Working a deal on an 89 Turbo/stick as well.

Sounds more like a dealership issue than actual car issue.

Sounds like you got a lemon. That 2.5 is usually bulletproof, albeit not fast, but god they run forever. I know of many with over 250k with nothing outside regular maintenance.
