THIS PT CRUISER WAS MY PARENTS VEHICLE. I DROVE IT TO TAKE THEM TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS, ETC. IT WAS USED LIGHTLY. NEVER HAD ANY SLIPPING, SPUTTERING, NO SMOKING, ETC. RAN GREAT, SMOOTH. AFTER THEY PASSED I WAS TOLD TO PARK IT UNTIL THEIR ESTATE WAS SETTLED. WHICH I HAD NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT COULD TAKE. RIGHT BEFORE I WAS TOLD TO PARK IT, IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. WE HAD IT TOWED HOME. AND, WE WERE GOING TO REPAIR IT. WE BELIEVED IT TO BE A TRANSMISSION POSITIONING SENSOR. BUT, WE COULDN'T BE SURE. SO; WITH BEING TOLD I HAD TO PARK IT, I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW THE ESTATE IS SETTLED, BUT I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. AND WITH LOSING MY JOB IN FEBRUARY, I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO SELL MY PARENTS CAR.

THIS CAR RAN SO SMOOTH AS I STATED ABOVE. IT HAD ICE COLD A/C, GREAT HEATER, IT WAS A GAS SAVER, HAD ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR STILL SHINE GREAT. NO VISIBLE RUST. NO PAINT PEELING. IT JUST NEEDS A THOROUGH CLEANING INSIDE. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I USED IT TO STORE OUTSIDE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS. DURING A STORM A BRANCH HIT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS THE GLASS CRACKED THERE. BUT, WITH THE SEASON CHANGE THE CRACK RUNS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. BUT, ITS MOSTLY NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD.

AS A SECURITY MEASURE, A SEAT BACK EMERGENCY RELEASE LEVER IS BUILT INTO THE LEFT SIDE REAR SEAT BACK LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THE EVENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL BEING LOCKED INSIDE THE LIFTGATE AREA. THE LEFT BACK SEAT CAN BE UNLATCHED BY PULLING DOWN ON THE GLOW IN THE DARK LEVER ATTACHED TO THE LEFT REAR SEAT BACK LATCHING MECHANISM. THEN THE SEAT CAN BE PUSHED FORWARD TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE CHILD REASTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEM CALLED LATCH. ALL OF THE EXTRAS AND HOW TO'S ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROVIDED OWNERS MANUAL. IN THE REAR OF THE CRUISER THERE IS A TABLE THAT CAN BE UTILIZED IN A LOW, MEDIUM OR TALL POSITION. AT THE HOLIDAYS, I WOULD LEAVE THIS TALL WITH GIFTS UNDERNEATH IT. REAR SEATS ALSO FOLD DOWN.

UAW urging Chrysler to sell shares to investors

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

The United Auto Workers union is pushing Chrysler to sell 16.6 percent of its stock to investors in an attempt to establish the value of the shares. The UAW is currently locked in a lawsuit with Chrysler parent company Fiat over how much the Italian automaker should pay to buy shares from the trust fund. Last year, Fiat told the trust it intended to exercise its right to purchase 3.3 percent of the union's shares at issue. But the union contended the 54,154 shares were worth closer to $381 million instead of the $155 million Fiat offered.
Currently, the UAW owns 41.5 percent of Chrysler while Fiat holds 58.5 percent of the company. Currently, it's unclear whether the UAW could force Chrysler to put the shares on the open market. Doing so would be the first step toward a much-anticipated initial public offering. Chrysler has said it will comply with its shareholders agreement, and Fiat has echoed that tune. According to The Detroit Free Press, the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust has declined to comment on the situation.

Fiat To Pay $3.65 Billion For Remaining Chrysler Shares

Thu, Jan 2 2014

Italian automaker Fiat SpA announced Wednesday that it reached an agreement to acquire the remaining shares of Chrysler for $3.65 billion in payments to a union-controlled trust fund. Fiat already owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler's shares, with the remaining 41.5 percent held by a United Auto Workers union trust fund that pays health care bills for retirees. Under the deal, Fiat will make an initial payment of $1.9 billion to the fund, plus an additional $1.75 billion upon closing the deal. Chrysler will also make additional payments totaling $700 million to the fund as part of an agreement with the UAW. The deal is expected to close on or before Jan. 20, according to a statement from Chrysler. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of both Fiat and Chrysler, has long sought to acquire the union's shares in order to combine the two companies. "The unified ownership structure will now allow us to fully execute our vision of creating a global automaker that is truly unique in terms of mix of experience, perspective and know-how, a solid and open organization," Marchionne said in a statement issued by Turin, Italy-based Fiat. The deal eliminates the need for an initial public offering of the union fund's stake, which analysts had previously valued at $5.6 billion. Fiat went to court last year seeking a judgment on the price, but the trial date was set for next September. Marchionne can't spend Chrysler's cash on Fiat's operations unless the companies merge. In recent months he made it clear that he preferred to settle the dispute without an IPO, but filed the paperwork for the offering in September at the trust's request. Chrysler's profits have helped prop up Fiat on the balance sheet as the Italian automaker struggles in a down European market. The Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker earned $464 million in the third quarter on U.S. sales of the Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee, its ninth-straight profitable quarter. The results boosted Fiat, which earned $260 million in the quarter. Without Chrysler's contribution, Fiat would have lost $340 million. UAW/Unions Chrysler Fiat

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?
