I will attempt to represent my PT Cruiser to the best of my ability. This car has some mechanical and cosmetic defects and needs servicing, but is still in good running condition. However, the antilock breaking system is not functioning because I believe a wheel speed sensor has failed. The paint, body and interior may need professional servicing if you are not a do-it yourself, mechanically inclined person. The tires match and have about 50% or more of tread. As far as I know, this car is free of major mechanical problems but will need some reconditioning. Its paint and bodywork will require minor and major touch-ups, with repairable cosmetic defects. It's engine compartment may have minor leaks but nothing I am aware of. There are body scratches, dings and minor interior blemishes. The car has Zenon front and rear bumper covers. It has a clean title history, with some service records available, and has just passed New Jersey emission inspection.

The car has been kept in the family. I bought it from my sister.

It's been extremely reliable. It has always started and ran flawlessly.

The air conditioner has weak to no cool output. It has never been recharged so perhaps that's the problem.

The timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Service receipts are provided.

I was hit from behind on I-95 at slow speed in stop and go traffic by a Ford Explorer. He veered off and clipped the driver side. I replaced both tail lights and thought I would do the body work. I decided not to finish the job. I have posted a good number of photos to illustrate the degree of damage.

The handle to adjust the recline on the driver side seat broke off during some freezing cold weather. I have the handle. It's in a good position for me so I never bothered to fix it.

The fog lights don't light. It could be he bulbs or a fuse. I haven't checked.

It could use a good cleaning inside and out.

The car was not in NJ during SuperStorm Sandy. It was in Richmond Virginia with me at the time.  

To sum it up:

This car has been one of the most dependable vehicles I have ever owned.

This is a car for someone that is mechanically handy that can fix it up for themselves or to re-sell.

Thank you for reviewing my no reserve auction. Email me with any questions you may have. If you have a low or zero ebay feedback please contact me before placing a bid. Thanks

Fiat Chrysler CEO Marchionne's health crisis forced succession scramble

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Former Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne for more than a year assured investors that he and the automaker's board were working on an orderly succession plan ahead of his expected departure in 2019. But a health crisis that left 66-year-old Marchionne incapacitated in a Swiss hospital set off a transition last week that was sudden and rushed, banking and industry sources said. The company announced on Wednesday that Marchionne had died, succumbing to complications from surgery. It emerged that Marchionne's successor was far from settled. Indeed before last week's crisis, many company executives remained in the dark, four banking sources who spoke to Fiat Chrysler executives told Reuters. The scramble to replace Marchionne led to the resignation of a senior executive who was passed over for the top job, the sources said, and exposed fissures between the Italian and North American sides of the world's seventh-largest automaker. Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann named Michael Manley, head of the company's Jeep and Ram truck divisions, to replace Marchionne at an emergency meeting in Turin, Italy on Saturday. In doing so, Elkann followed Marchionne's wishes to appoint Manley his successor, two sources said. The company has portrayed Manley's appointment as the product of lengthy deliberation. "Sergio and John have always been totally aligned on the choice of Mike Manley," Fiat Chrysler's main spokesman Mike Keegan said on Tuesday, when asked whether there were differences over the succession. Elkann's office declined to comment. Manley could not immediately be reached for comment. This description diverges from what Marchionne himself told investors on June 1 during a day-long strategy presentation in Balocco, Italy. Marchionne said that he and Elkann "from time to time have these chats" about succession, but the issue would not be decided until next year. "It's a 2019 issue," Marchionne said. "So it's not going to happen until we close '18. It just won't happen." He went on to say that the company's board would not engage in a "rubber stamp process." Some analysts have also expressed skepticism that a final decision had been made. "My view is Marchionne and Elkann were still arguing about succession and had different views on the right candidate," Sanford Bernstein analyst Max Warburton said in a note on Monday, referring to the June 1 presentation.

Fiat to list on New York Stock Exchange?

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Citing the ever-nebulous "two sources close to Fiat," Reuters is reporting that the Italian automaker and owner of the Chrysler brand is likely to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange. The move could reportedly happen as soon as 2015, marking the end, at least in the minds of investors, of Fiat's 115-year base in Turin, Italy.
The Italian government is not likely to react favorably to Fiat's potential move from Italy to the United States, despite initially positive reactions to Fiat's landmark final purchase of Chrysler, the third-largest automaker in the US. Fiat spent $3.65 billion to buy out the 41.46-percent stake in Chrysler that had been owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund.
With little sign of a swift European recovery, Fiat has little choice but to focus on markets outside its traditional home, and a listing in New York could potentially be a boon for investors. According to International Strategy and Investment analyst George Galliers, speaking to Reuters, "People [would be] more likely to think of the entity in the same context as they do Ford and GM" if it were listed on the NYSE.

Strike looms for FCA workers as soon as Wednesday night

Wed, Oct 7 2015

A strike is on the very near horizon for at least some United Auto Workers members at FCA US. On October 6, the union sent a letter to the automaker that officially announced the termination of its agreements with the company as of 11:59 PM on Wednesday, October 7. Assuming that a deal or extension hasn't happened by that time, workers could hit the picket line. While neither side is talking much publicly, it does appear that negotiations are still underway. In a very brief statement, the automaker simply says: "FCA US confirms that it has received strike notification from the UAW. The Company continues to work with the UAW in a constructive manner to reach a new agreement." The UAW seems equally receptive, and it says in a post on Facebook: "Negotiations with FCA continue. Your bargaining team is hard at work and we will continue to post updates when there is more to report." If a strike happens, it could put a serious financial burden on FCA US. Economist Sean McAlinden from the Center for Automotive Research estimates the cost at as much as $40 million per week, according to Reuters. The union hasn't clarified at this time whether all of its workers with the automaker would stop working or if the picket lines would only be at specific plants. The first tentative agreement posted to UAW members working with FCA US utterly failed in voting. Raises and a healthcare co-op would have been among the new benefits. However, the employees were upset that the proposed deal retained a two-tier wage structure, and they also didn't like the lack of details about rumors of major production changes.
