This is an extremely well maintained, clean car, always driven by non smoking adults, without kids or pets. It has never been wrecked or abused

I am the second owner, the original owner having been a personal friend, from whom I purchased it 6 years ago.

The car has always been serviced by professionals, mainly at a Chrysler dealer by the original owner, or by me, the second owner, a life long auto service tech.

They say about real estate that it's all about location, location, location. With cars, in my experience, it's not about the year the car was built, or even how many miles it has travelled. It's about condition, condition, condition. And condition is determined by three things: maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. Could you buy a car for less than my reserve? Yes, you could. Could you buy a car in this condition for less that will pass Maryland state inspection? I don't believe you could.

The exterior color is Steel Blue Pearlcoat. It has a tan cloth interior.

Features include:

Dual front air bags

Air conditioning
Power steering and brakes
Keyless Entry with 2 remotes and keys
Power door locks
Power windows, fronts with "auto down" feature
Power mirrors with defrosters and "fold in" feature for on street parking
Factory color keyed carpeted floor mats
Dual front vanity mirrors
Luggage compartment shelf/cover
Reclining/adjustable front seat backrests
Split folding rear seat back rest
Multiple possible seating arrangements for hauling/moving large objects (see photos)
AM//FM/CD/Cassette stereo sound system
Rear privacy glass, great for filtering out the heat of summer sun

I am not a dealer, but I am a professional auto tech. It has had routine service with an oil/filter change at least every 3000 miles, usually more frequently, never less.

Recent service history is as follows:

At 102,000 miles, I went over the car carefully and did the following:

Replaced timing belt, and tensioner bearing
Replaced water pump
Replaced serpentine belts and tensioner bearing
Replaced both front wheel hub bearings
Replaced both front lower suspension arm bushings
Replaced front sway bar bushings
Replaced rear shock absorbers
Installed zerk (grease) fittings in lower ball joints to permit periodic lubrication
Drained, flushed, refilled cooling system

Most recently I went over the car carefully and did the following to it to bring its maintenance up to date:

1. Installed new front brake pads

2. Overhauled both front brake calipers

3. Completed fresh engine oil and filter change, and a check of all fluid levels, tire pressures, etc.

4. Replaced spark plugs, checked engine compression (excellent), cleaned throttle body

5. Checked battery condition (good), cleaned/serviced terminals/clamps

6. Completed a general check of car under hood and underneath

7. Installed new wiper blades, front and rear

8. Installed four brand new tires

This car is equipped with the 5 speed manual transmission, which makes it fun to drive, and provides better fuel economy. If you have never driven a PT with the 5 speed, you will be surprised at the car's performance. It is smooth, peppy, and quiet, with a much more powerful feel than the automatic transmission version. If you can drive a stick, you will love this car. It has the easiest clutch and shifting operation of any car I have ever owned.

The car starts instantly, runs quietly, and drives smoothly.. The transmission shifts perfectly, the A/C system blows ice cold air, and the heater is strong.

It has no rattles, clunks, squeaks or other noises while underway.

Everything on the car works as it should, from the hand held remote lock fobs to the CD player/radio sound system.

The sale includes a factory cover in excellent condition.

With just over 120K and 2 careful owners in its past, this car has many miles and years of life ahead of it.

It has no significant dents but does have a few small dings and light surface scratches, nothing terrible, just things to be expected in a car a few years old. The most significant flaw in the exterior is a chip on the right side of the rear bumper. If you zoom the photo of the back of the car, and look carefully at the right side of the bumper, you will see it. It could probably be repaired, but I never considered it a serious flaw.

The interior is spotless.

I have worked on lots of cars over the years, and I think this car is every bit as good as the much sought after Asian cars, and at lower costs.. Popular Asian cars, such as Nissan, Honda, or Toyota are good, but equally true is that many domestics are underrated, and the PT Cruiser is one of those highly underrated models.

It is a very comfortable, spacious, solid, reliable car.

I have put it up for sale because I am now semi-retired, use it very little, and will be moving into less space.

If you are interested in the car, I encourage you to inspect it personally. It has a current, valid Maryland emissions inspection certificate, and if you live in Maryland and require a Maryland state safety inspection certificate, I would be happy to have the car inspected. If you live in Maryland, this is required prior to registering it as a new owner.

I am not a dealer, so I can't offer a warranty, though, from what I have read in other listings, neither do most dealers offer a warranty. I can tell you that I have owned, driven and maintained this car for years, and I do not know of a single "issue" with it. So, you would not be buying someone else's problem car traded in for reasons you will discover later!

If you are looking for a nice, meticulously maintained car for an affordable price, this is an opportunity. I live just outside Washington, D.C. If you have a question, email me and I will do my best to answer. I would ask that you bid only if you are serious about buying the car. I have advertised the car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thank you for your interest!

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo

Mon, Jul 3 2017

When Diamond Star Motors, a Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint venture, came online in the late 1980s, the first products to come out of the Normal, Illinois assembly plant were versions of the first-generation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse. There was the Eclipse itself, the Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. Here's a somewhat tattered example of the latter type, spotted in a Northern California self-serve yard. This car is unrelated to the Chrysler Laser of a few years earlier, which was based on the K-platform-derived Dodge Daytona. The Plymouth Laser was a pure Mitsubishi design. This one has the DOHC turbocharged 2.0-liter Sirius engine, rated at 190 horsepower. That was plenty of power by 1990 standards, a year in which the wildest possible Chevrolet Camaro (the IROC-Z, of course) packed just 230 hp under the hood. The IROC-Z weighed 3,149 pounds versus the Laser's 2,483, giving the Laser a slightly better power-to-weight ratio, not to mention a price tag more than $500 lower. CD players in cars were still uncommon in 1990; this Laser has the much more mainstream "computer controlled deck" cassette player, complete with nine-band graphic equalizer. Badging in futuristic typefaces was all the rage when this car was new. The all-wheel-drive Eclipse/Talon/Laser didn't hit dealerships until the 1991 model year, so all the '90s are front-wheel-drive only. The torque steer experienced in these cars could be exciting.

Mopar-modified Chrysler 200 reappears in Chicago

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Chrysler made what was one of the biggest debuts of the 2014 North American International Auto Show last month when it debuted the heavily redesigned 200. While impressive on its own, the sleek sedan's Mopar counterpart, which was tucked away in a corner during the Detroit show, adds even more visual flair.
Based on the Chrysler 200S, the showcar had already benefitted from Lunar White Tricoat paint and meaty, 19-inch wheels (now in Satin Lite Bronze finish). White leather seats with bronze stitching accented the cabin treatment.
For Chicago, Chrysler added a Mopar body kit and new upper and lower grilles, both of which give the four-door a considerably more menacing look. The rear fascia is set off by a new bumper and a revised set of exhaust tips. The cabin is unchanged from the Detroit car.

Why Chrysler made the Pacifica Hybrid

Tue, Jan 12 2016

There were a number of important details missing from Chrysler's debut of the Pacifica Hybrid yesterday. Pricing and availability, for example. We still don't know those specifics – Chrysler just says it will all be announced closer to launch Â– but we spent some time with Kevin Mets, the chief engineer for the Pacifica Hybrid, to learn more about the powertrain and why Chrysler decided to offer this vehicle at this time. "This could be a primary electric vehicle for someone." We started with the big question: why build a plug-in minivan at all? "It brings the ability that if you want an electric vehicle, a hybrid, you don't have to compromise size to get there," Mets said. "For instance just a few minutes ago I was talking to someone from Canada and they were saying in the US it's two vehicles per household is kind of the norm. In Canada it's not that way, it's more like a vehicle or even less than a vehicle. There's a lot of people that want an electrical vehicle in Canada but they can't make it their primary vehicle. This is a vehicle that could be a primary electric vehicle for someone in Canada, or anybody else for that matter, who wants a plug-in vehicle, an electric vehicle that doesn't have to compromise in size." So, was the development of the Pacifica PHEV influenced more by customers saying they wanted a plug-in hybrid minivan or was it driven more by green vehicle regulations? "That's a tough one to answer," Mets said. "Certainly you have to meet all the requirements. There's a little bit of everything there. You also can pick what vehicles you want to do it on. You pick which vehicle is the best opportunity and this is the one we chose. It's a little bit of both." As for when the Pacifica Hybrid will reach dealerships, all we know is, "late 2016." But Mets said that the minivan will at some point be available in all 50 states. Initial availability might be limited to places like California, but, "The idea is to sell it nationwide," he said. Chrysler decided on the "Pacifica Hybrid" name instead of the more-accurate "Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid" for simplicity. Anyone who might care that the minivan plugs in will find out that it, indeed, has a plug, the reasoning goes, but when Chrysler talks to the average mass market shopper, "hybrid" tells them everything they need to know. Under the hood (and the floorboards, where the batteries are) there are a lot of new bits.
