Car was acquired from a relative that was trading it in on a new car last fall, and I offered more than the dealer did for it. I have just cleaned it up and decided to sell it in the spring - I own several collector and hot rod style cars and this does not really fit in. I have not driven it very much, but it seems to be in pretty decent driving condition.

From what I can tell everything seems to work OK - top goes down, radio sounds good, drives around the neighborhood nicely. Tires have perhaps 50-60% life left. Should be a cute little cruiser for a second car or for a newer driver. Its pretty cool being a convertible - and should still be easy on gas since it's a 4 cylinder.

It has aftermarket aluminum alloy wheels, and is missing one of the wheel centers - visible in the photos and probably easy to get.

The reserve price is rational, and just in there to protect from low ball prices if I screw up the listing...

I can cut & paste some generic stuff below...not really specific to this particular one but gives you some background on PT Cruisers...

With retro-styling inspired by the 1930s panel vans that were later converted to surf wagons and hot rods, the front-wheel drive 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser mixes classic styling cues with modern fuel efficiency and convenience. The versatile seat arrangement in the PT Cruiser wagon allows for more rear space than most vehicles its size, and the back seats can either fold forward or be removed completely for expanded cargo space and to accommodate objects up to eight feet long. The convertible model, with its power-retractable soft top, also bows to those who want a little more practicality in an open-air car. The top is insulated for a quieter interior, there is a small back seat, and the trunk is reasonably roomy. The PT Cruiser wagon is available in three trim levels--base, Touring, and Limited. The convertible is only available in base trim. A 150-horsepower, 2.4L four-cylinder engine is standard on the base and Touring models, while the 180-horsepower, turbocharged 2.4L engine comes standard in the Limited and is optional in the Touring. A five-speed manual is available on the base only, while a four-speed automatic is the transmission of choice in both Touring and Limited models. It is an option on the base. The entry-level model has power locks and windows and rides on 15-inch steel wheels. Front air bags are standard on all 2005 PT Cruiser wagons. The 2005 PT Cruiser convertible is outfitted much the same as the base wagon, though it gets power mirrors and driver's seat, air conditioning, 16-inch wheels, and the special cloth seating of the Touring model.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
