19. No, he really does.
But the true status symbol in our house is the minivan.

Yeah, baby.

21. oh yeah it is and it's expensive although their is a down market line now for jcp penney
and when i say donmarket that means the jeans are $80 there instead of $300 like at the Hardy stores.

I don't like his stuff at all, it's just got way too many tings happening on one garment.

5. As I understand it, you can get a fantastic deal on Chrysler's products right now.
It's like a fire sale right now.

Do I like it? Not particularly, but you're not buying it for me. Or are you? That's sweet.

Seriously though, if you like it, and you can get a good, livable deal on it then why not?

12. oh is it a dodge? I can't see and don't know "cars"
but I would never buy a dodge on purpose. I've had three pick-ups due to various extenuating circumstances and um, NO.

14. It's a Chrysler 300.
Funny you mention that. I always had the opinion that Dodge trucks were very good.

I've never owned a Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth product. My dad turned me off of them when I was about knee high.

22. everybody around here has diesels and mine have all been gas
Edited on Mon May-25-09 07:55 PM by Kali
so that may be part of it although the nieghbor had to replace the engine within a year or two of buying it.

My opinion of the big 3: Chevy - not very expensive and things break, but parts are always in stock and you can fix them with your tools.

Ford - better product but parts cost more and sometimes you need special tools.

Dodge - parts are unavailable, very expensive and you will need two or three special tools, IF you can even do it yourself.

Oh and Japanese? Who needs tools or parts? - they never die.

6. Sure, if you're in your early 70's and...
are trading in your Mercury Grand Marquis.

There's a lot of the similar Chrysler 300s sold around here, and that's who buys them. The local dealer only has one of the big Dodges in stock. And he's had that one for a long time.

7. how does it do in the brush? Looks kind of plastic/fiberglassy.
That shit falls off of my vehicles too fast. Clearance? Looks low to the ground - probably can't make it on my roads. How many people/sacks of feed will it hold?

9. You shouldn't have to ask. If you like it, buy it.
I'm not wild about the style, but I do like the size. I'm not one of those who opts for mileage over safety.

Personally, I think it's a bit graceless, but if it has the features you like that's all that matters.

34. This is a joke, right? The post. And the car. It's a piece of shit.
What is it that you like? The color? The manly macho grille? The fact that it is a Fiat? Take a deep breath. For $19,900 you can get a Honda Insight and get 44MPG. And it goes just as fast.

38. I really like the car
I noticed it as soon as it hit the streets and admired it. I once managed to get a ride in one that was being used as a taxi. I'd buy it. Should be a good deal.

39. How is it equipped?
I've driven a couple of RWD v-6 rentals, and they were nice. Issues i had were pretty esoteric, and could likely be "tuned" out in the computer. If this is a HEMI, they are fast, the NH State Police love 'em as cruisers.

It's got to be a gas guzzler.

42. I had a former coworker that had one.
She seemed to like it alot. Apparantly it drives/handles very well. A bit too tankish for me, but I've heard its a nice car and seems to be fairly reliable for that class.

48. Piece of Shit
Drove one end of last year ( rental ) with just 1800 miles on it...

The transmission was already jacked up, when pulling from a toll booth it would hit about 3-4mph and CLUNK and then start moving. Passenger's side mirror had a horrible vibration and would make you dizzy if you tried to use it. Power steering had a whine in it as well....

Pure trash, although- the seats were pretty comfy :rofl:
