buy it or dont buy?

Hey i was thinking about getting this 96' Breeze, same thing as a stratus. its got a 2.0L and an auto trans. it has 141,000 miles on it....what would you do? and is this engine any good. i havent driven it, but i hope its a little peppy...my alero is pretty quick so im hoping it might be a little bit like that...

The 2.0 engine is a very good engine.Only problem I know is the headgasket and that is where the oil leak is most of the time.Is it in very good shape?If it is in good shape and has been maintained ,buy it

Re: buy it or dont buy?

My parents had a 97 dodge stratus with a 2.4 and was kinda fast. we had 8mm plug wires in it. Where did you see it at? Town auto? they get all their cars from spitzer auto mart in Cleveland off of w150th. All the shit that is there is junk, Trust me on this!! I tell no lies! YOU know me!!!

Re: buy it or dont buy?

I don't know what year alero you have but i have a 99 with a 2.4 twin cam in it. They are pretty quick. But i don't think that you will like the power that the 2.0 stratus will give you.

He isn't looking at a Stratus he is looking at a 96 Plymouth Breeze and they do come with the 2.0 litre
