Greetings,

You are bidding on a 03 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Now, before you start yelling "200,000 MILES", there are some things you need to know. First, this vehicle has been owned by my family since the day it was new. 90% of the miles that are on this vehicle are highway miles. We drive from Ohio to Florida at least 5 times a year, so the up-keep on this vehicle needed to be top notch. To keep from getting stuck on the road, anything that looked anywhere close to needing repaired or replaced was done right away, and with attention to detail. It had to be with the amount of miles this vehicle traveled in the course of a year.

The engine was replaced with one that had less than 4000 miles on it at 160,000 miles. So the engine has around 46,000 miles on it. Also replaced at the time was the timing belt, water-pump, plugs, wires, most of the gaskets, and seals, starter, engine mounts and struts, all fluids, all engine sensors, injectors, and a complete diagnostics of all systems to ensure quality work and operation. 

The Transmission was replaced at 140,000 miles. So the transmission has around 63,000 miles on it. With its replacement came a new torque converter, complete flush of the service lines and cooler, and a new control module.

Also replaced was the radiator, hoses, cooling fan, brakes to include calipers and rotors, front struts, rear shocks, rear anti-sway bars, front anti-sway links,  headlight lamps (White Light) Air Conditioning serviced, K&N Air filter, Axle Shafts, front wheel bearings, 4 wheel front end alignment, battery is one month old.

The vehicle was repainted one year ago and shows no signs of rust anywhere (probably because it has been garaged its entire life, even at work). Other than a few chips, it looks like new. New front windshield, and no issues with any other glass in the vehicle.

Tires are 80,000 mile Michelin and have approximately 50% wear on them.

A rear hitch was installed with a pre-wired 4-way flat connector.

Now to the entertainment and interior. Since I spent so much time on the road, I wanted the top-of-the-line entertainment center that included not only standard am/fm/cd radio, but also a back-up camera, DVD Player, XM Radio, Turn by Turn Navigation, IPod connect, and bluetooth that includes an external mic. This is all accomplished within one well installed unit that has a flip-up screen.  Also included is a amplifier that is pre-wired to the back of the vehicle to except add-on speakers. Two aux 12v power sources were installed both front and rear as well. 
The driver seat was rebuilt by the Chrysler dealership to include a new seat cushion and some hardware. It seats just-like-new. The rest of the seats show just as well with no stains, rips or tears. Carpet and headliner shows just as well as the seats do. Rear seats are removable and really open up the back of the vehicle to hauling options.

You will be hard pressed to find another vehicle in as good of shape as this one with half of the miles on it. I kept this vehicle nice and well maintained out of necessity, and someone is going to get the benefit of the work that has been done to it. Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I will go out of my way to make sure they are answered. I want you to know what you are buying and further confident about purchasing this vehicle. The only reason I am selling it is because I need more travel room to drive back and forth to Florida. Fuel economy is within the 24-26 range.  The vehicle is available for local sale. 
Good Luck
Eric

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
