I just serviced it- new timing and oil pump chains, oil change, tire rotation. The engine runs very strong, burns very minimal amount of oil (per the owner's manual it is normal for this turbo car to burn 1qt between oil changes, this one burns less than 1/2qt). The AC is ice cold.

(TOTAL for prices listed: $3100)

Included for free but not installed: High performance clutch with an aluminum flywheel ($800)

The car was dynoed at Central Florida Turbo (03/01/2011) on a 13PSI tune and put down 328WHP and 324WTQ. It should have at least 345WHP and 350WTQ with the new 17.9PSI tune (conservative numbers), this translates to 380HP and 390TQ at the crankshaft. The car pulls VERY hard, will occasionally spin the tires even in 3rd gear. The transmission shifts very nicely, the quality of the ride is very impressive- the progressive springs give it a comfortable straight line ride and excellent cornering characteristics when pushed hard. I have always used the factory-recommended 0W40 MOBIL-1 full synthetic oil. The paint is shiny, interior smells like new, everything works as it always did, reliable and fast hot hatch. There are no oil leaks of any sort, no rattles or squeaks. The doors function like new, power windows as well. The sunroof drains are clean and it does not leak inside the car. All 13 KICKER speakers are performing as new, the sound system is very powerful and crisp. As expected from a Florida vehicle, there is absolutely ZERO rust on the car, not a single detail has any rust on it.

The bad- there are two exterior dents on the car caused by envious people at shopping plazas- one dent on the driver's side rear door and one on the passenger side quarter panel. Both can be repaired via paint-less dent removal. There are three small cracks on the driver's side seat left bolster. The factory dual mass flywheel chatters at idle, I had the car checked by Airport Dodge of Orlando and they recommended driving it until it shows a defect, 50 000 miles later it is still good, plenty of clutch pedal and its only audible at idle. I am including a slightly used aluminum flywheel/high performance clutch with the car. It can be changed right away, however I do not see a need until the factory clutch shows a defect. The factory wheels have been striped off the clearcoat (it was cracking) and since then they have been polished by hand. Their condition is 9 out of 10 in terms of shine, no curb damage or bending. Tires have about 50% thread life left, no plugs or patches. Everything else on the car is in excellent condition and perfect working order. The car is an absolute blast to drive, I get compliments on it everywhere I bring it.

Repairs done to the car since I have owned it are: replaced throttle body at 43k miles, replaced left front strut, wheel bearing and fender (small accident involving the front left wheel ~50k miles, unsure if CARFAX will show this but I am being honest), replaced oil pump at 53k miles, replaced MAP sensor at 53k miles (I broke the original sensor while working on the oil pump replacement). There is no other damages or items that are not as I have already described. I encourage any buyers to come, look at the car, take it for a test drive and even bring it to a shop and get it inspected if desired. My goal is to have a 100% satisfied buyer.

I have priced the car at the Kelly Blue Book private party selling price for "very good condition" at $ 12600. My price is firm, all of the modifications and the clutch(worth $3900 new or at least $2000 used) come with the car for free.

Please "Buy Now" the vehicle only if you have cash on hand or you are pre- aproved for a car loan on this specific vehicle, I have included the VIN number needed for a car loan application. I will not waste your time and I ask the same of you. No joy rides or tire kickers please. The vehicle currently has a lien and I will work with you to get you the title as soon as possible.

Chrysler Recalling 700k Vehicles For Ignition Switch Woes

Tue, Jul 1 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags. There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date." To fix the problem, Chrysler will install a new detent ring in the vehicles. It will begin contacting owners soon, and obviously the repair will be free of charge. This isn't the first time this problem has cropped up in these models. Chrysler issued a recall for 248,437 vehicles in 2011 for certain 2010 model year examples. A few weeks ago, NHTSA also began investigating the 2008-2010 model years of the affected models for ignition switch problems. At this time, it's not clear whether that evaluation and this campaign are linked. Chrysler told Autoblog that it has no reports of injuries related to the problem. Scroll down to read the company's statement and the NHTSA recall report. Statement: Expansion of Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) safety recall July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Out of an abundance of caution, Chrysler Group is expanding a previous safety recall to install a more robust WIN module detent ring. A previous recall in 2010 included 196,000 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Dodge Journey vehicles built August 2, 2009 through June 17, 2010. The expansion includes an additional 695,957 vehicles manufactured January 29, 2007 through August 1, 2009.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
