I've sold a few things on ebay, as you will see in my feedback, including whole vehicles. I've only ever had one buyer unsatisfied, and that was because I refused to offer a refund AND let him keep the item. Everybody else has been happy. I aim to keep it that way.
This car is stock and unmodified. It appears to have been used for nothing more than normal transportation.
The engine sounds good from the moment you start it, with no particular vibration or hesitation at any time. The transmission makes no noises and goes into every gear easily. These cars don't have a lot of do-dads, but everything it does have seems to work. There are no codes stored or pending in the computer. None of the warning lights are lit. The air conditioning is cold. I would put your odds of a successful cross-country trip in this car very high.
I will spend most of my time describing what is not perfect about the car:
1. The hood has some damage near the front edge. I have taken a closeup picture to illustrate.
2. The windshield is cracked, and there is some rust near the edges of it. It is what I would consider repairable, but to do it right you'll want to fix it while the glass is out. Shown in pictures.
3. Just ahead of the driver's side rear wheel there is some rust. Again, repairable, but I'd rather let you see it and decide how to approach it, than just cover it up and pretend it isn't there.
4. Although there is no evidence of a crash, the headlights have been replaced with aftermarket units. Presumably the original ones became too opaque. At least the new ones closely resemble stock.
5. The clearcoat on the wheels is peeling. Fortunately they are not particularly corroded. Any amature could bring them back to perfect.
6. The adjustable Koni struts that these cars are born with are still present in the back, but have been replaced up front with some of unknown pedigree.
7. The original leather wrapped shift knob disintegrated, leaving a nice non-leather wrapped knob in it's place.

Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
