Hello all. My name is Neil, i am a machinist. I recently(3 days ago) purchased a 1988 dodge aries 2-door, 2.2L 3spd auto with 84,292 miles. This car is going to be my daily driver and my other car(1993 mustang gt) is coming off the road for a while. I have a few questions about the car.
1)seeing that i recently purchased the car, any common problems that i should look out for? Along with every car i buy ill be doing an oil change tomorrow, any prefrence on oil and do you guys recommend any additives? As of now the valve cover is leaking from the gasket which i plan to fix as soon as possible.
2)i may be mechanically inclined but electronics arent my best, how easy/hard is it to install an aftermarket radio? I plan on getting one that will have a USB/Aux input.
3)What kind of headlights does the car use, as of now the passenger side headlight is out.
4)as i will be mainly driving the car ~80 miles a day highway, what can i look at for fuel economy going between 60-65mph(how many mpg)
5) any other suggestions? all is appreciated.
