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.

Chrysler 200 configurator already online

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

A preliminary configurator for the 2015 Chrysler 200 is already up and greeting Internet visitors. The totally re-envisioned sedan that we got to know in our Deep Dive starts with an LX base trim for $22,695, which comes out to an MSRP of $21,700 plus $995 for destination. That number will get you entry to a party that comes with keyless entry, ambient LED lighting inside, a five-inch Uconnect touschcreen system with Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo, eight-way power driver's seat, safety features like brake assist and an electronic parking brake and eighteen-inch wheels on all-season tires.
The features list isn't yet broken down by model, but including destination, the other three trims retail for $24,250 for the Limited, $25,990 for the S and $26,990 for the C. All-wheel drive adds $4,200 on the S and the C.
You can build an LX pretty quickly because there aren't many options. There are two interior choices, black or black/linen, five exterior color options, and just two choices after that: you can opt for the $495 five-inch Uconnect system that adds features like voice command and a rearview mirror with a microphone, and an engine block heater for $95.

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.

Chrysler honors Arsenal of Democracy's 75th anniversary

Tue, Dec 29 2015

The Allied victory in World War II wouldn't have been possible without the Arsenal of Democracy. This phrase, originally coined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt 75 years ago today, described the war-time transformation of US manufacturing, especially the auto industry, to produce tanks and planes instead of cars and trucks. One of the earliest purpose-built facilities was the Albert Kahn-designed Detroit Arsenal, located in suburban Warren, MI, literally across the street from the future site of the General Motors Technical Center. Built by Uncle Sam, the plant churned out M3 Grant and M4 Sherman tanks with frightening speed, but it wouldn't have been possible without Chrysler. The company (which is ironically now allied to a former supplier of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy) operated the plant and applied automotive mass-production techniques to producing the government-designed tanks. The plant was so successful, according to Fiat Chrysler historian Brandt Rosenbusch, that it singlehandedly outpaced the entire Third Reich's tank production by 5,000 units over the course of the war. The Detroit Arsenal was also responsible for a quarter of all American tank production during the war. And like so many wartime factories, women formed a large percentage of the workforce, as men were drafted out of assembly work and into the armed forces. Chrysler has commemorated the 75th anniversary of the Arsenal of Democracy speech with a video on the Detroit Arsenal and its role there. And as for the site today? It built tanks up until 1997, and still serves as the home of the US Army's TACOM (Tank-automotive and Armaments Command) Life Cycle Management Command, a major site for tank research and development.
