I HAVE DECIDED TO "BITE THE BULLET" AND SELL OFF A FEW OF MY CARS AND PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.  I ALSO HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER THAT I WILL BE PUTTING UP FOR SALE ON EBAY AS WELL.  THIS WAS A 3RD VEHICLE THAT I OWNED AND WAS USED AS A PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE FOR A BUSINESS I OWN.  IT HAD BEEN WRAPPED AND JUST DRIVEN AROUND LOCALLY.  I PURCHASED IT FROM A NAVY PERSON ON NOVEMBER 27, 2013 AND RECEIVED EXTENSIVE SERVICE RECORDS WITH IT.  ITS A 2003 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER GT TURBO WITH THE 2.4L ENGINE AND HAS 215 HORSEPOWER AND PRODUCES 245 lb-ft OF TORQUE AT A LOW 3,600 rpm, WITH MORE THAN 90 % OF PEAK TORQUE from 2300 to 5000 rpm. IT HAS A 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH THE AUTOSTICK OPTION.  AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT IS FULLY LOADED WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION THAT CAME ON THE GT TURBO MODELS.  IT HAS 177,311 MILES (might get slightly higher as I still drive it) AND RUNS GREAT, AND LOOKS GREAT AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT HAS THE HIGH MILEAGE BY LOOKING AT IT, OR DRIVING IT.  ITS ELECTRIC BLUE, AND HAS BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR, TINTED WINDOWS, POWER MOON ROOF, CRUISE CONTROL, FACTORY CD PLAYER, HEATED FRONT SEATS, POWER EVERYTHING, A/C, TRACTION CONTROL, TURBO, 17 INCH CHROME RIMS WITH EXCELLENT TIRES.  THE BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO DENTS AND JUST HAS THE USUAL SCRATCHES THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM DAY TO DAY DRIVING OF THIS YEAR AND MILEAGE.  THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT, AND I DID RUN A REPORT ON IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT (i will provide it to the winner), AND IT CAME UP CLEAN WITH NO ISSUES.  THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO TEARS, ALL 4 HEADRESTS ARE INCLUDED. NO CRACKS IN THE DASH, ALL THE ORIGINAL MATS ARE THERE AS WELL.  THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT FIRST CAR OR TOY CAR.

ALL GT TURBO MODELS COME WITH THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS TO SEPERATE IT FROM THE STANDARD PT CRUISER:

the PT Turbo standard features included:

- Performance 4-wheel disc brakes and ABS with traction control
- 17" Blade CHROME 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels

- Unique instrument panel accents

FROM THE RECEIPTS THAT CAME WITH IT, IT WAS CLEAR IT HAD ALL ITS REGULAR MAINTENENCE DONE AND I WILL PROVIDE THOSE TO THE WINNER.  I ALSO DID A TON OF WORK TO THE CAR AS WELL AS PERFORMANCE UPGRADES WHEN I BOUGHT IT.  THIS IS A LIST OF THE PARTS I HAVE BOUGHT AND HAD INSTALLED, AND I WILL PROVIDE RECEIPTS FOR THIS WORK AS WELL:

MOPAR SPARK PLUG WIRE SET $37.94

HEARTHROB 2.5" CAT-BACK DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM $359.52

ON 12/10/2013 I HAD MY MECHANIC INSTALL THE FOLLOWING PARTS: WIRES/PLUGS, OIL/OIL FILTER, VALVE COVER GASKET, EIBACH SPRINGS, DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM, TIMING BELT KIT, A/C SYSTEM SERVICE, AND THE TOTAL BILL FOR THE LABOR ALONE WAS $1,104.92 (RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED).

ON 4/7/2014 I HAD THE FOLLOWING WORK PERFORMED: BRAND NEW FRONT LEFT & RIGHT CALIPERS WITH NEW HARDWARE, FRONT LEFT & RIGHT ROTORS, FRONT LEFT & RIGHT BRAKE PADS AND THE TOTAL BILL FOR PARTS/LABOR WAS $572.74 (RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED)

THE CARS RUNS GREAT, HAS GREAT PICK-UP WITH THE TURBO AND STOPS PERFECT.  IT LOOKS GOOD WITH THE LOWERED STANCE, THE SPRINGS GIVE IT A NICE TOUGH CLEAN LOOK, AND THE DUAL EXHAUST LOOKS GREAT FROM THE REAR WITH A NICE LITTLE RUMBLE.  I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND DRIVE IT WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH NO CONCERNS.  I HAVE NOT HAD IT VERY LONG SO I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU DETAILS OF THE HISTORY WHILE I HAVE OWNED IT, BUT FROM LOOKING AT ALL THE PRIOR RECEIPTS IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. 

IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY THING IT MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED IS MAYBE SHOCKS AT SOME POINT.  THEY SEEM FINE, BUT ALL OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE LIFT KITS IN THEM AND THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE PUT LOWERING SPRINGS IN YEARS, SO IM NOT USED TO BEING SO LOW TO THE GROUND, SO ITS HARD TO TELL.

DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE, IT WILL BE SOLD IN AS/IS CONDITION WITH NO WARRANTY OFFERED.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU.  IF YOU ARE LOCAL, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME BY AND SEE IT AND BRING A MECHANIC IF YOU WOULD LIKE.  I HAVE PERFECT FEEDBACK ON EBAY AND HAVE SOLD NUMEROUS CARS OF MINE WITH NO TROUBLE, SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, BIG OR SMALL.

THE $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE AT CLOSE OF AUCTION VIA PAYPAL WITH THE REMAINING BALANCE DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.

I WILL NOT SHIP THE VEHICLE, BUT WILL ASSIST THE BUYER IN ANY WAY I CAN.

Sergio: Two-tier wage structure eliminated in FCA deal with UAW [w/video]

Wed, Sep 16 2015

The two-tiered wage structure that governs the way domestic car companies pay their unionized employees – and rankles many of them in the process – could soon be a thing of the past. In a tentative deal seen as a bellwether for other ongoing negotiations, the United Auto Works and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reached a tentative agreement on a four-year contract that would disband the two-tier structure, in which some workers earn higher hourly wages for performing the same job, over time. Officials who announced the tentative agreement late Tuesday in Detroit were short on details of its contents and union members still must ratify it. But FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said the two-tiered structure will disband by the end of the contract. "The team has crafted together a very thoughtful process, where the issue will go away, go away over time," he said. Further details weren't divulged. Union negotiations with Ford and General Motors are ongoing, so hammering together a deal that sheds the two-tier structure with Chrysler first could set a precedent followed by the other members of Detroit's Big Three automakers. Other key issues that emerged in negotiations with FCA included escalating health-care costs and rewarding workers for the health of the auto industry. But dealing with the two-tier structure, born as GM and Chrysler circled bankruptcy during the Great Recession, was something the UAW wanted to confront. "The UAW has a philosophy about the economic balance of this country and the inequality, and our mission is to bridge the gap in this country," UAW president Dennis Williams said. "It's gotten out of whack. ... We don't want to share anything, and I truly believe that corporations that have that set of mind have lost their way." The UAW's executive board was expected to review the tentative agreement this morning before a union membership vote is scheduled. For Marchionne, who skipped the Frankfurt Motor Show to shepherd the negotiations during their final hours, the tentative agreement means he can shift his concern back toward pushing an FCA merger with General Motors or another company and touting the idea of industry consolidation in general. "The other side of this is capital usage in this business, which is something that remains unsolved," he said. "It makes the labor side sort of pale in comparison, given the magnitude of the potential synergies and benefits we'd be deriving from an intelligent approach.

Watch the mechanical symphony of the Chrysler 200 build process

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

For those of you who can't get enough of the 2015 Chrysler 200, The Pentastar put together a short video following its new sedan down the line at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant. As with the best new-baby albums, you'll see it take its first bath, be doted on by family members, put on its first pair of shoes and get all dressed up for an introduction to the world.
The only thing missing are its first words. You can follow it down the line in the video below.

Toledo continues fight for Jeep Wrangler production, despite mayor's death

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Where will the next-generation Jeep Wrangler be built? That's an open question, but it's one that the city of Toledo, OH desperately wants to be the answer to. The city suffered a major blow, though, with the death of Mayor Michael Collins earlier this month. Collins had been the city's biggest champion during talks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, before suffering a fatal heart attack on Feb. 6. But Collins' tragic death isn't dampening the city's desire to carry on as the home of the Wrangler. "The mayor's passing is tragic. But on Monday, when I came to work, I knew exactly what I needed to do and exactly what needed to be done," the city's director of development, Matt Sapara, told the Detroit Free Press. According to the Freep, Sapara said Toledo and the state of Ohio have delivered an outline of a development plan that would give FCA the ability to buy an extra 100 acres to expand the factory. This is to help accommodate FCA's targeted output of 300,000 to 350,000 next-generation Wranglers, up from the 240,000 the factory can make now. "Our target in the proposal is to provide a way to increase the production capacity to a number that allows Fiat Chrysler to meet its business model," Sapara told the Freep, adding that the land could be available later this summer. FCA, meanwhile, has shown a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards Toledo production, with CEO Sergio Marchionne openly discussing the pros and cons of continuing to build the Wrangler south of the Michigan border. "We are going to take a very hard look at this without ignoring what these guys have done," Marchionne told the Free Press at last month's Detroit Auto Show, adding that he'd like to keep production there, provided the cost of retooling is comparable to relocating to another facility.
