Cars that share the same platform and thus have *potential* for parts interchangeability include:
* Chrysler Cirrus (2001): This is essentially the Chrysler-badged twin of the Dodge Stratus. Parts interchangeability should be very high.
* Plymouth Breeze (2001): Similar story to the Cirrus. High potential for interchangeability.
Important Considerations:
* Engine: Interchangeability depends heavily on the specific engine in your Stratus (2.4L, 2.5L, etc.). Even within the same platform, engine variations can limit part compatibility.
* Transmission: Automatic or manual transmissions will have different parts.
* Body parts: While some parts *might* be interchangeable, body panels (doors, fenders, etc.) are less likely to be directly swappable due to badging and styling differences.
* Year: Even within the same model, minor changes can occur year to year affecting part compatibility. Sticking to the 2001 model year is ideal for the highest chance of interchangeability.
In short: The Chrysler Cirrus and Plymouth Breeze (2001 model year) are your best bets for parts interchangeability. However, always verify part numbers before purchasing any replacement parts to ensure a proper fit. A parts store or online parts catalog can help with this verification.
