This could be either a great project car if you can do the needed repairs or it can be a great parts car if you have your own 1998 Sebring that needs some newer parts.
I've driven this car daily for about three years. The engine starts and runs smoothly and the transmission seems to shift smoothly as well. If I could do most of the necessary work myself I would definitely keep the car, but paying a repair shop to do the work would be fairly expensive. This car is fully drivable as is.
Here's what I've been told is needed:
- Valve cover gaskets
- Electronic Control Module in the steering column that controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, high beams, etc. The turn signals work, the wipers work, but the high beams cannot be turned off. Also when you use the right turn signal the intermittent wiper function engages.
- Upper and lower ball joints and control arm on the driver's side.
- New passenger side headlight assembly. I don't remember the exact reason, but the bulb does not light fully.
- A new connector for the rear defogger. I'm told its common for these to come off due to the movement of the glass when the top goes up and down.
- There are also two spots where rust is starting to appear. The rear passenger side quarter panel and the bottom of the driver's side door.
- The front leather seats cushions are ripped from 15 years of normal use.
Now for the positives:
- As mentioned earlier the car starts and the engine runs smoothly. I've had oil changes done about around every 3k miles.
- The transmission appears to be in fine working order.
- The convertible top works perfectly and has no leaks. It is a cloth top that was installed in 2010 and looks like new.
- Timing belt and water pump replace at 131k miles.
- Power windows and door locks all work
- Radio, Cassette player and 6-CD changer work perfectly.
- Power steering works fine with no leaks.
- All brake line tubing and rear brakes were replaced in 2011, including rotors
- The alternator was replaced in 2011
- A new fuel pump was installed in December 2012.
- New tires in 2010. Approximately 25k miles on them.

Chrysler celebrates 90 years with special trim levels
Wed, Sep 2 2015Ninety years is a long time for any business to stick around, and it's especially difficult in the auto industry. Chrysler is celebrating the milestone this year by loading on extra tech with 90th Anniversary Edition packages for the 200, 300, and Town & Country. Chrysler's 90th Anniversary Edition for the 2016 300 is based on the Limited trim, and it includes an 8.4-inch UConnect infotainment system with navigation, SiriusXM radio, and a custom splash screen. In addition, buyers get a dual-pane sunroof and floor mats with the anniversary logo. Separately, the 2016 300S is available with a retuned suspension and steering that includes increased spring rates, larger sway bars, and set of Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. The 200's 90th Anniversary Edition is also based on the Limited trim, and the package adds an 8.4-inch Uconnect system without navigation, sunroof, heated mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power seats, and custom floor mats. For 2016, the Limited also has blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection as a standalone option, and it and the S version get a standard backup camera. The 200C now comes with a heated steering wheel, as well. Finally, the Town & Country is due for a replacement in early 2016, but the current version gets to celebrate the 90th anniversary, too. Based on the Touring-L trim, the package adds a power sunroof, bright door handles, heated seats for the first two rows, a heated steering wheel, and keyless ignition. Plus, there are special logos on the splash screen and floor mats. 90th Anniversary of Chrysler Brand Marked by Nearly Complete Refresh of Vehicle Lineup September 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - With two of the brand's three vehicles either recently renewed – from the refreshed flagship and iconic 300 full-size sedan earlier this year, to the completely new 200 mid-size sedan last year – Chrysler is gaining momentum. Add to that the upcoming sixth-generation of the vehicle that created the minivan segment more than 30 years ago, coming next year, and that qualifies for a serious roll. 2015 also marks the Chrysler Brand's 90th year, which it will celebrate by offering special 90th anniversary models of its 300, 200 and Town & Country models. "Clearly 2015 is a very exciting time for the Chrysler Brand," said Al Gardner, President and CEO - Chrysler Brand, FCA — North America.
Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
