    Question about buying 1999 Challenger 1800

    Thanks for the reply. It will live on the trailer. Is this something that can be fixed properly so I would not have to worry? It is well below the water line.

    1998 Challenger-Why would you paint it?

    That is what I thought as well. Same money could be used to just buff the heck out of it at a shop. Unless its full of spider cracks or there was some body work done and the paint is hiding it.

    Questions On Buying a 1998 Challenger 1800

    Good day. I am thinking of buying a challenger as the title says. It has some flaws and I was hoping I could get some answers to see what it may cost to repair. 1. Back seat bottom center cushions are toasted. It looks like the foam is still in good shape. 2. Right side mirror has been busted...
