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

2015 Chrysler 200

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
