Only an idiot would buy a Chrysler :lipsrsealed: :grin:

You can buy cars to order and scrap the rest of it for good money in London.
A lot of people are doing this right now, sell a gearbox and other bits for a couple of hundred weigh in the rest net profit.
Its fecking annoying as this goes on outside my office window and all the sh!t gets left in the road and river :angry:

This isn't actually that difficult to figure out:

1. People want a bargain - if it's slightly broken it'll be a fixer-upper and a million and one goons will be convinced they can make good money on it.  If it's missing some history or is a bit dicey then surely everyone else will stay away from it, so you must be getting it for cheap.

2. More people love small engined, small bodied cars - cheap to run and fix, surely, aren't they?

Please no one PM me asking if I know how women work, because I don't have that answer although most of it can be covered by 'psychotically'.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

Women need friends to sit and gossip with, when a woman has someone who will sit on the sofa with them and b!tch about how fat someone is then they leave you alone to play with cars :grin:

Tell you what, I'd never buy a newish Chrysler from 2002 onwards, but this 98 Voyager 3.3 V6 has been absolutely spot on other then last year onwards it needed a few bits like a fan relay which caused the radiator to pop. Now a driveshaft seal.

Other then that it's been 100%. Been well impressed. Build quality feels completely solid up front but as soon as you go past the front seats going down the car it just drops dramatically.

Engine is strong though, towed many a van with it and it didn't struggle or even feel it slightly.

Where all my moneys went.

Always the odd one which is reliable, they are generally dire and expensive which is why they are so cheap to buy, why BMW put the neon engine in the mini is a mystery to me :grin:
