98 Dodge Stratus - Leaking Head Gasket, Worth Fixing?
I have a 98 Dodge Stratus, with the 2.4 DOHC engine. It has about 73K
miles on it. I've been told by the dealer that my head gasket is leaking. The estimate for repair is $700 - $1000. Is it worth fixing? At 73K miles, if I fix this, will there be any other big repairs waiting in the wings? Or should this be the last of it? Is it reasonable to expect to get another year out of this car? I don't understand how the head gasket can go, as the car has never over heated the entire 6 years I had her. And I've always kept up with recommended maintenance with the vehicle. On another note, I must admit that my experience with this Stratus precludes me from ever buying another Dodge vehicle. Has Chrysler cleaned up its act since Daimler bought them out? I'd like to still buy American, but if I have to buy an import I will.
