A/C Blows COLD!

I bought this car in September of 2007 when it had about 28,000 miles on it and have kept up with all the maintenance meticulously according to Chrysler's schedule. The oil has been changed every 3000 miles with no exception. This car runs like a top. The other thing to note here is that the vast majority of these miles are highway miles. Here are some of the recent maintenance items:

-4 brand new Cooper tires at about 95K miles, with much tread left
-New Front Struts at about 88K miles
-Rear Shocks at 88K miles
-Upper control arms and all the bushings at 88K miles
-Lower control arms and all the bushings at about 75K miles
-Rear gear box oil change at 104K miles
-Air filters at about 110K miles
-Transmission flush at about 100K miles
-16 new spark plugs (HEMI engines have 16 instead of 8) at about 100K miles
-All new wires and coils (Each cyclinder has it's own coil) at about 100K miles
-All rubber boots connecting the coils to the spark plugs at about 100K miles
-Coolant flush at about 99K miles
-Power steering flush at about 100K miles
-Hood and trunk struts (so neither will close on your head like on most older cars)

This car runs great and is in good mechanical condition. I would have no reservations getting in it right now and taking a cross country road trip.

There are some cosmetic issues to note.

The biggest issue is the front bumper. It is cracked on the lower part and some of the paint has chipped. The bumper is functional as intended but if you want the car to look nice it will have to be replaced. The bumper can be bought for about $200 and I'm sure if you are handy you can have a shop paint it and put it on yourself for not much money. The reason it is cracked is because I pulled into a parking space, went up to far and scraped one of those concrete blocks at the front of the parking space.

The rear bumper on the driver side has some scratches on the lower part which can be remedied WITHOUT replacing bumper, which was caused the same way the front bumper was cracked.

On the hood and fender near the passenger side there are some small dings, again which can be repaired at not much cost.

The rest are your basic wear and tear that you would expect on a 9 year old car.

The interior is good. No tears in the seats and no cracked door panels. Seats are gray leather and the carper is black. I religiously, for years used Mother's leather cleaner and conditioner so there is NO dry rot to the leather either.

Blue Book gives this car a value of about $9100 for it's current condition but I think it might be a little higher than it should be due to some of the cosmetic issues. I am asking $7000 OBO and will entertain any reasonable offers and welcome people who would like to see the car in person first. I am asking this amount because I have recently replaced many of the expensive maintenance items that are needed around 100K miles like tires, shocks and struts.

The title is clean and the car will easily pass inspection. This is a luxury car with a touch of sport! The car can average about 23 to 24 miles per gallon on the highway. But it is a HEMI and does haul! Merging onto a highway is a breeze. These HEMI engines take very high mileage and last a long time if properly cared for, which this one is. It still has all of its power and runs like it did the day I bought it.

The accident reported that you can see on the CARFAX was a cracked rear bumper that was replaced. I was hit by someone going the wrong way up a one-way street while backing out of my driveway. There was no other damage other than the rear bumper being replaced.

Any questions, just email me and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

There are no existing warranties on this vehicle and it is sold as-is, and all sales are final. I have described in detail every single issue I know to exist with this car to help any prospective buyers make an informed decision.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Fiat Chrysler will pay $70M to settle safety disclosure suit

Thu, Dec 10 2015

FCA US will pay a $70 million civil penalty to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to submit Early Warning Report data going back to 2003. The automaker will also provide any missing data since that time, and an auditor will monitor future compliance. NHTSA says the failures to report this information "stem from problems in FCA's electronic system for monitoring and reporting safety data, including improper coding and failure to account for changes in brand names." There are no allegations of any intentional deception by the automaker. NHTSA will wrap up the latest fine with the previous consent order against FCA US earlier this year for the automaker's handling of 23 recalls. The company will know owe the safety regulator a total of $140 million in cash, and there will be possibility of $35 million more in deferred penalties if FCA doesn't comply with the agency's requests. In a statement about the fine to Autoblog, FCA US said the automaker "accepts these penalties and is revising its processes to ensure regulatory compliance." The company strongly believes that it didn't miss any safety problems over the time with this problem. Early Warning Reports include information on deaths, injuries, crashes, and other potential safety concerns, and NHTSA often uses the data in investigations for possible recalls. In September, the safety agency first announced the automaker failed to submit these documents. At the time, the regulator's administrator Mark Rosekind promised to "take appropriate action after gathering additional information on the scope and causes of this failure." FCA US also released a statement then about the lapse and said the company notified NHTSA immediately after discovering the problem. FCA US is not the first company to run afoul of NHTSA's reporting requirement. The agency fined Triumph Motorcycles and Honda this year for similar lapses. It also punished Ferrari in 2014. U.S. DOT Fines Fiat Chrysler $70 million for Failure to Provide Early Warning Report Data to NHTSA WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has imposed a $70 million civil penalty on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) for the auto manufacturer's failure to report legally required safety data. The penalty follows FCA's admission in September that it had failed, over several years, to provide Early Warning Report data to NHTSA as required by the TREAD Act of 2000.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?
