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.

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.

A closer look at the 2015 Chrysler 200

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

When the doors of the Detroit Auto Show open to the public tomorrow, there's no doubt that the Chevy, BMW and Lexus booths will attract plenty of foot traffic with flashy sports cars. But when it comes to relevance as it relates to sales volume and in-market shoppers, the 2015 Chrysler 200 could end up being one of the more important introductions from the show. Positioned in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, Chrysler has quite the challenge ahead of it, so we asked Andy Love, product chief of the 200, to give us a closer look at the new sedan to see how it will stack up against cars like the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord.
All of the pertinent information about the new 200 was revealed during the on-stage introduction, but Love gave us a first-hand look at the sedan's more intricate details. This includes some of the exterior design elements such as the wide use of LED exterior lighting and the strategic placement of the side marker lights, and even interior cues like electronic shifter, which allowed for extra storage space in the center console. Aside from the name, the 2015 200 started from scratch riding on a similar platform as the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee, based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
Scroll down to watch Love talk us through the 2015 Chrysler 200, and you can find more information about it at our original post from earlier in the week.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
