Doesn't sound bad, I was looking at one about two years ago, $1500. I wonder why they're so cheap...

FWD Mopars have lots of potential.Im sure alot of people will not like it because its a Dodge but I d say go for it.They had a few electrical gremlins but those are cheap fixes.There is also quite a bit of support out there for them on various forums etc.
