Hello everybody, I am new here, I signed up as a member of this website because I am trying to find out how to do something...Back in 1989, I purchased a used Dodge Raider from a friend of mine. I don't really recall the exact model year, but my Dodge Raider was a short wheelbase model with a gasoline engine, a four cylinder, it was a three-door model and it had a manual transmission. Early on, I had some kind of an electrical problem with it, but once I found someone who was able to fix that I drove it until I had about 350,000 miles on it and it developed a serious engine problem that was going to be really expensive to fix. I ended up trading it in on a pontiac. As they say, hindsight is 20/20 and if I had it to do over again, I would have simply bought a rebuilt engine for it and I might still be driving it today. I would love to have a similar automobile today, but they no longer import the Montero into the U.S. and I have no idea if the SUV's that they currently sell are as tough and as rugged as my little Dodge Raider. I never see any of the three-door short wheelbase models anymore. Are the new Outlanders a modern day version of my Raider? And if not, what SUV (that is currently available) is the closest thing to what I used to have (in your opinion). I have even thought of trying to find one in Mexico and just drive it home, which is North Carolina) but I have had some people tell me that doing something like that is not legal and that I would not be able to register it here and buy tags for it. Thank you, in advance, for your reply.

 

my first advice, is find the key labelled "return" or "enter" on your keyboard.
second: comprehend the definition of "paragraph"
thirdly, combine your new found knowledge from steps 1 & 2 to post something a grumpy old ***** can be bothered reading, if you want any help.
