This auction is for a red 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXi Convertible 2 door car. The car is in overall fair condition considering it's age, it runs and gets you where you want to go. I have had the vehicle in my posession for the last year and a half and have had no mechanical problems and I drive it daily. The car is not perfect however, it has a lot of cosmetic issues but the good news about that is that cosmetic issues can be fixed or hidden with a replacement cover. Mechanically the car seems alright, again I have not had any trouble. I have driven it out of town (300 miles away) and back and it loves the open road. In "stand still" heavy traffic sometimes I notice that the check engine light sometimes flickers on and off but it goes away. The car does not have any kind of overheating issues during the stand still heavy traffic which is a good thing, I am not too sure what causes that light to flicker on.

That is the overall general health of the car. Below I will pin point specs/issues that I see in the car that might interest a potential buyer:

Has power everything, this car was top of the line in it's time: power - windows/locks/mirrors/drivers seat/convertible drop top *all working condition*
2.5L V6 4 speed automatic engine
16 mpg city/24 mpg hwy with an overall combined 19 mpg hwy & city
Clear Texas title ready to transfer to you
Low miles!!!! Only 112,663
Bucket leather seats, however they are torn & stained, especially the driver seat but seat covers is an easy fix
Fog Lights
Keyless entry fob *works* (1), factory original key (1), factory original valet key (1)
Lighted entry system
Cruise control
Power brakes - they squeak at times especially after rain
Rear window defroster
16 Inch alloy wheels
Takes regular unleaded fuel (holds 15.8 gallons)
Tachometer & trip computer
4 wheel ABS
Driver and passender front airbags
Air Conditioning available but needs an A/C service done, not blowing cold air
Radio/CD player works. Infinity Audio system w/CD changer but I don't know if it works - factory radio has been replaced with a Pioneer CD player w/detachable face. Also XM radio was installed at one time, connections are there but you would need a new system installed
Floor carpeting is severely stained, would need detail deep cleaning
Leather trim steering wheel in rough condition, currently has a steering wheel cover over it
Spare "donut" tire with tire changing jack and attachments
Center light (under rearview mirror) on passenger side works but needs a replacement bulb, also light insert that holds it in has come loose
Trunk won't stay open on it's own, you need to hold it up by hand - probably needs a replacement spring
Angler on A/C center vent on passenger side is broke, you can't change the position that outcoming air is angled
Sun visors have torn & diminishing fabric from age
New battery recently replaced in DEC 2013
The outside of the vehicle is fair, it has some dings, nicks, scrapes, but no major damage. The heat here in Texas has taken a toll on the paint. The paint is worn in some areas from the heat especially on the back trunk area, I have taken pictures so you can see what I mean. It could use a gloss treatment to minimize the dryness appearance.
The tan convertible fabric top has a spot near the rear window edge where the fabric has slightly come unseamed

I have tried to cover everything as best as I can, personally looking at the vehicle would be optimal to best form your opinion. This vehicle is being sold "as is" and I am confident you will be happy with the car and that you will find it was a fair purchase from a reputable seller.

Shipment: I am open to whatever works best for you on getting it to you. You can pay to have it shipped to you (you would have to set all of that up yourself and payment for that is completely your responsibility). Also you can come get it from Austin, TX. Or if you live close enough we might be able to arrange a "meeting half way" point for a small shipment fee paid to me.

Payment: full payment is expected before taking delivery of the vehicle. Only cash or certified funds from your bank. If you are getting it financed, your bank will usually send you with certified funds to exchange for the vehicle.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Fiat and UAW back at negotiating table over Chrysler stake

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We knew there'd be no Chrysler IPO before the end of this year, but Fiat is determined to get the best run going into 2014 and is back at the poker table with the UAW. The delay was said to be Chrysler's desire to clean up a tax issue with the IRS; turns out that also bought the carmaker time to try and close a deal for the UAW's 48.5-percent stake in the company before the IPO happens.
Whereas the price Chrysler was willing to pay was once more than $1 billion under the UAW's asking price, the gap has closed to just $800 million of late. A recent valuation of the company at $10 billion - a valuation the UAW has disputed - means Fiat would be looking to pay about $4.2 billion instead of the $5 billion that the UAW seeks. But the UAW needs to hold out for the highest amount it can get because its pension obligations through the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) are $3.1 billion greater than the VEBA's assets, which include the Chrysler stake.
There's a clause in the agreement that Fiat can buy the VEBA shares for $6 billion, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if they even want $5 billion. The UAW, though, has more time to wait; it's Fiat that wants access to Chrysler's $11.9-billion war chest and that would like to avoid the risk of paying the full $6 billion for the UAW share if the float really takes off. With other valuations of Chrysler as high as $19 billion, a hot IPO could make that $6 billion look like a bargain.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.
