Summary

You are bidding on a 1994 Chrysler Concorde. It has been priced low with no reserve, in other words, it's priced to move! The vehicle was purchased used by my father in 2005 (I believe he was the second owner). It has been in our family ever since.  

The the car was used as a daily driver until the Fall of 2013, when my brother upgraded to a more fuel-efficient vehicle with lower miles.  It has been a good car for our family, so bid now and make it a good car for yours!

My policy when selling is to be as honest as possible, so the buyer knows exactly what is being purchased. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

With over 209,000 miles on a 20 year-old vehicle, a share of mechanical/cosmetic issues is not to be unexpected. Please consult the abbreviated list below, and read on for further details (on issues with asterisks).

- Power adjust driver's seat only works partially

Details

*This problem has only occurred since we parked the vehicle last Fall (after my brother upgraded vehicles). When he was driving it daily it did not have any problems starting. Once jump started, the car will run, however, the battery is getting old and there is visible corrosion, which leads us to believe it may need to be replaced. 

**This has been the largest issue with the car. At idle, it runs roughly and occasionally dies. It never left my brother stranded (it would start again after one or two tries). However, it was a bit of an inconvenience, especially with city driving.  It also occasionally runs roughly while accelerating up to 40-50 MPH, then starts to smooth out at highway speeds. This has been an intermittent issue over the last 12 months or so. Basically, it runs roughly at times, smoothly at others.  Perhaps this is a fuel delivery issue?  We have not had this problem looked into, since the car is getting up there in years, and it still did a good job of taking my brother where he needed to go. 

***The check engine light is mostly likely the result of the aforementioned problems with the car running roughly. The ABS light is more of a mystery. We are not sure what is wrong. The car tends to brake a bit hard, although effectively. As mentioned, it has new-er pads and rotors, so perhaps the problem is with the ABS?

****This has not been a major issue, at least not enough to cause significant tire wear or cause other alignment issues.  

Again I would like to state that I've been as honest as possible in describing this vehicle.  Any omission of problems/defects is purely accidental. Again, if you have any questions, contact me and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. 

Warranty

This car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with no warranty. 

Purchase/Pick Up Information

The payment will be cash only, paid in full at the time of pickup.

Delivery is not available for this car; it is available by pickup only. Pickup shall take place within 14 days of sale. Please contact me to arrange details.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer 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.

2013.5 Chrysler 200 S Special Edition is a Sebring swan song

Wed, 27 Mar 2013


The world is set to get an all-new Chrysler 200 next year, thereby finally putting the bones of the long-serving Sebring to rest. To tide us all over until then, the automaker has released the 2013.5 200 S Special Edition. As a collaboration between Chrysler and the Imported from Detroit clothing line, the sedan features plenty of aesthetic tweaks to give it a bit more attitude. Those include tinted headlamp and taillamp housings, body-color door sills and 18-inch gloss black wheels. There's also a revised front fascia with a black mesh grille, while the tail end gets a decklid spoiler and a revised valance.
Indoors, the seats are clad in black, water-resistant fabric courtesy of Carhartt. Expect to see the 2013.5 200 S Special Edition in dealers soon with a price tag of $28,870. While there are plenty of questions to be asked here, one is more nagging than the others. Why bother buying the special edition when an all-new model is mere months away? It's an age-old question, but it still bears asking. Check out the full press release below for more information.

Italian government to lean on Fiat's Marchionne to commit to country

Sun, 26 May 2013

With the recent chatter that Fiat is looking to move its global headquarters to the US following a complete merger with Chrysler, the Italian government is voicing its opinion on the matter. Facing the potential job loss from the automaker leaving the country, Italy's industry minister is meeting with Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne in what will likely be a plea to keep the company based in Turin rather than moving to Auburn Hills, MI - if indeed it is able to acquire the additional 41.5 percent of Chrysler currently owned by the United Auto Workers.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat is Italy's biggest private employer and unemployment is already nearing a 20-year high. The non-car side of Fiat, Fiat Industrial, is already planning a move to the UK, so it goes without saying that Fiat moving would be a pretty big blow for the Italian economy. In the article, Fiat says that the headquarters issue is "not on its agenda now," but that statement is far from a denial.
