$10K+ invested in the last 500miles. About 30K miles on the rest of the mods.

The interior is quite nice for its age, but not perfect. 8 or 9 out of 10. Drivers side seat bolster has the typical wear and you will find a few smudges and scuffs here and there. Does not look brand new, but looks much better than your typical 90K mile car.

Potential items of concern:

The traction control recently went inop. I replaced the Yaw sensor, but that did not fix it. Since most people owning this car would want to disable the traction control anyway, I'm going to pass this issue (or benefit) along to the new owner.

The exterior paint condition on the front end and front doors is not good. The paint is good everywhere else excepting minor scuffs here and there. The bumper cover is rock chipped and has a few scrapes. The upper corner of the grill area has some cracks in the paint. I removed the side moldings and you can see some ghosting were they used to be.

I was going to re-paint the front end, but figured it would invariably get scratched during transport to its new home, and the new owner might rather do a color change or vinyl wrap, so I'm leaving it as-is and discounting the price accordingly.

At parking lot speeds, the suspension creaks a bit. The suspension feels solid with not clunks or rattles otherwise.  May just need some strategically placed grease.

Everything has been built to the hilt, so if you want to add more power, you have a solid base to work with.

Perfect car for street or track fun, but needs some paint to please the show crowd.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

Marchionne to take his sweater and go home after 2018

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

The end is in sight for Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne, who confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg that once FCA's sweeping five-year plan is completed, he'd be stepping down from his post to "undoubtedly" do something else that didn't involve turning around global corporations. That would mean he should finish up after 2018 if all goes according to plan.
"It's as important to walk away from the table as it is to sit down," Marchionne told Bloomberg.
Marchionne has been at Fiat since June of 2004 and is one of the chief architects behind the Italian company's acquisition of Chrysler. Despite his successes, he does sound quite ready to move beyond the auto industry, rhetorically asking his Bloomberg interviewers if there "are other things I like to do apart from this?"

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
