1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible In Orlando, Florida on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
Top-Down Driving Just in Time for Summer! I am the second owner (since February 2005) of this metallic red/black top 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible. It is powered by the Mitsubishi-built 2.5 liter V-6. I am selling to make room for a Lincoln Town Car I have purchased. For the last year I have used the Sebring primarily as my commuter car to and from work averaging less than 20 miles per day. It currently has roughly 108,500 miles on the clock. I have used Premium gas in it for best performance. The car is mechanically sound and shifts smoothly. Power driver’s seat, power driver mirror, and power windows and door locks, of course. Head lights, tail lights, brake lights and turn signals are fine. The Michelin tires are less than one year old. Inner and outer tie rods were replaced in 2013. The car received a complete front brake overhaul in 2012 with new rotors and calipers. Entire brake system was inspected recently and front pads and rear shoes have plenty of mileage left. A new battery was installed eight months ago and a new alternator installed last month. The A/C compressor was replaced in 2011. The blower and compressor operate, but the control switch to turn on the blower and regulate speed is not working properly. The Riker’s A/C technician confirmed compressor and blower are fine. A replacement switch module from the Chrysler dealer is over $300 but you can get one from the salvage yards for about $50. I have the receipts for all this work. Appearance and Interior The car received a complete premium paint job by Maaco in November 2010 That same month the Sebring received a new, high-quality convertible top. The rear window is glass and is defogging. At that time all new vinyl seating was also installed to replace the cracked and damaged leather. All this came to nearly $2000 in upgrades. All seatbelts work properly. I have used a reflective sunshield to protect the dashboard surface and it still looks new. One or two of the interior shots to show the dash and doors were taken before the new vinyl interior was installed; the front seats had seat covers at that time. The other shots show the newer interior. The convertible top operates perfectly, but I did not use it often so the top shows little wear. The seal is tight along the windshield edge and convertible top. (see photo) Issues The engine has a minor oil leak from the rear main seal, so I just watch the oil level periodically. The cylinder head gaskets are tight with no leaks. Power steering pump and power brake lines were checked just this month. Front passenger power window does not lower. The rear windows work fine. The driver window does lower and raise but the rear guide track is loose and you have to adjust the window in the up position to get a good seal with the top rubber molding. A recent parking lot ding on the right rear bumper removed some paint. There is an electronic module that controls the tachometer and the digital odometer, and this works intermittently. I recorded the mileage last week when it came on. A little humor here is appropriate! The speedometer, gas gauge and coolant temperature work properly. The horn does not work; may just be a bad electrical connection. The original CD player is inoperative. The title is clear and waiting to be signed over to its new owner. I live in southwest Orlando off Dr. Phillips Drive. The license tag has been transferred from the Sebring to the Lincoln. You are welcome to test drive it outside the neighborhood if you bring a current tag. Feel free to email me with any questions. Cash is best for this transaction. No checks. |

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education
Mon, May 4 2015The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Former Treasury boss unaware auto task force fired GM's Wagoner
Wed, 14 May 2014We dig a good political tell-all every once in a while (how else will we get our political fix while waiting for House of Cards' third season?). Today, we get just that from former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's new book, "Stress Test," which details, among other parts of the 2009 financial catastrophe, the structured bankruptcy that allowed Chrysler and General Motors to emerge as competitive players in the auto industry.
In the book, which is nicely recapped by The Detroit News, Geithner discusses the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner while explaining how much trust he had in the auto industry task force that executed the move without his knowledge.
Auto Czar Steve Rattner "didn't even consult me before he fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner; if anything, that move increased my confidence in Team Auto," Geithner wrote.
