Up for sale is my 2002 Chrysler Sebring, which I have had since August 2006. It has been good for me overall as my daily driver for nearly eight years, though it has started showing signs of age and higher mileage.

For full disclosure, here are the known defects or issues with the car:

Starter fuel/ignition fuse has blown OCCASIONALLY, though this has not happened in nearly a year. If it ever does happen again, the car would not start until the fuse (a mini 20 amp) is replaced. One technician tested the system and said the alternator and starter and those sorts of things all seemed fine, but the battery was low, so I replaced the battery last June. The issue with the fuse happened once or twice since then and not for several months since. I list it merely because the true cause was never really found, and I wouldn't want anyone to buy the car and be surprised if it ever does happen again.
There is some rust under the hood of the car, on the bottom of at least one door, and on the underside of the vehicle.
The back right door does not respond well to the automatic door lock button, either on the keychain or on the driver's side door. It will sometimes lock or unlock as it should, but it is always accompanied by an angry noise.
In mid January of this year, during a particularly icy day, the car slid from the left lane of the highway into the right line, tapping into the side of a truck. This caused the dent in the passenger door frame and cracks in the windshield. This hasn't effected drive-ability of the car or use of the door at all, though it wouldn't pass PA inspection (not until October).
In the last month or so, the car developed an unknown issue which the service shop suspected had something to do with the transmission. It was almost as if the car wasn't fully shifting into drive or staying in drive. I found myself driving home one day, nearly flooring the accelerator and waiting for the gas to kick in and continue moving forward. Since I was having issues getting up to speed and staying at speed, I ended up having the car towed to the shop. After consultation with the shop crew, we decided to try some simpler fixes, such as replacing transmission sensors and fluids. Doing this supposedly fixed the issue for the technician, as he said he could drive it around for 4-5 miles without any problem. I, however, had the same issues, within half a mile of leaving the shop. I'm not looking to put any more money into this car, and I need to upgrade anyway to a bigger vehicle for my growing family. But because of this transmission issue, I can't guarantee how long the car will work properly the next time it's driven. It could go for five miles or five hundred, and since there's no guarantee I strongly recommend that anyone who buys this car should plan on getting it towed. I'm not driving it anymore and have already dropped insurance on it.

Even with all that said, there are some nice things to this car:

Smoke-free vehicle
Deep-cleaned inside and out
When the transmission does work, car has good pickup with six cylinders
6-disc CD changer is nice for having variety without manually changing CDs.
New battery as of June 2013
New transmission fluid and sensors
Fairly new brakes (though I can't remember date of installation)
Decent size trunk space
Inspection is good until October.
I have a brand new oil and air filter for this car, which I'll include for FREE.

As for the vehicle's history:

My wife and I have been the only drivers since I got the car from a dealer in 2006, though my dad technically bought the car and would probably show up as an owner in the vehicle history.
Before the dealer in 2006, I believe the car only had one prior owner, but I could be mistaken.

Shipping and payments:

Buyer will need to arrange for pickup--most likely a tow truck for reasons stated above. As this car is likely selling low and possibly just for parts, I will not be able to assist the buyer in any pickup or transfer title fees. Please consider these costs before bidding.
A deposit via paypal will be required upon sale. The remainder balance must be cash on pickup.

Thanks for looking, and I hope the length of this description hasn't overwhelmed you! Feel free to contact me with questions. Potential buyers can also stop by to look at car, but not test-drive as it's no longer insured or road-safe until some more work is done.

Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment

Wed, 22 May 2013

Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann Â— who will chair the new group Â— said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.

Are you the 2015 Chrysler 300?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

When Chrysler showed us its hand and revealed its five-year product plan to the world, we learned that the updated 300 sedan will bow at the LA Auto Show in November. Now, thanks to Allpar, we might have our first (super grainy) look at the new sedan a full two months ahead of its official debut.
Unlike its Dodge Charger platform mate, the new 300 isn't really all that different from the model currently on sale. That said, we're not sure if the changes shown here really reflect styling that we'd call "better," with the company's logo sort of floating at the top of the grille, and a more simplistic front end that lets the schnoz stick out a bit. Again, nothing drastic to talk about, but the new tweaks are kind of weak. Of course, we'll wait until we see the finished product in the metal before we make up our minds.
Don't expect things to change too much in terms of interior refinement or powertrain offerings, as well, with all the same leather and technology we've enjoyed in the 300 before, and the usual 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powertrain options. We'll know for sure when the car shows its freshened face in Los Angeles in November.
