3.6 Pentastar?

Honest question for you sir.
You are one of the most prolific experienced automechanics on this forum.
You could build a slant 6 or 318 Mopar A body for less than a new car; why chose a new Mopar with a 3.6? Is it because financing is a faster path toward your goal? I know you could build anything, am not trying to be sarcastic or mean either. thanks

It's because I have a WIFE. She wants something newer, with P/S, A/C and power "stuff". She kinda wants to maybe do a little traveling...maybe see the mountains....beach....that kinda thing. The 04 Escape we have has been a fantastic car, but it's gettin some age and mileage on it now.

All THAT, plus, I'm not gettin any younger. I don't have any "heavy" help. Kitty is all I have and while she's a great helper, there are just some things she doesn't have the strength for. My local friends all have lives and other interests....or just plain aren't interested, so there's "THAT" limitation.

But you're right....and I have mentioned that we could do something older. And I know she would like it.....but I know she wants something new "more".
