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. |

Fiat-Chrysler alliance in jeopardy due to Pentastar's IPO filing?
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The four-year relationship between Fiat and Chrysler has thus far been beneficial for both automakers, but it has also proven to be a complicated battle between Sergio Marchionne and the United Auto Workers - the latter controlling the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler. With the recent filing for a US IPO, it looks like Marchionne and the UAW appear to be playing a billion-dollar game of chicken, with both sides far apart on how much the union's shares are worth. If it comes down to Chrysler's remaining stake being publicly traded, it could act to drive a wedge between the two companies.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat's chairman John Elkann says "if the IPO will take place, there will be two companies, and that's different than having a single one." Now, we're not great at math, but this sounds like the complete opposite of the full merger that Marchionne has been pushing for since taking the helm at Chrysler. Bloomberg notes that the UAW's shares should be worth around $5.6 billion, but Fiat could end up paying as little as $4.9 billion for Fiat to gain full control of Chrysler. A story by The Detroit News points out that Marchionne's "alleged low-balling" is just the latest hurdle the Auburn Hills-based automaker must overcome as its ownership is being fought over for the fourth time in 15 years.
Chrysler 100, midsize CUV and plug-in hybrid minivan launch bid to go mainstream
Tue, 06 May 2014The news just keeps on rolling from Auburn Hills today, as Fiat Chrysler continues to detail its five-year growth plan. This time round, we're talking about Chrysler. The troubled American brand has been limited in the past few years to the lamentable Sebring/200, the Town & Country and the 300, although that's likely to change in the coming years.
"The Chrysler brand is not luxury - it's not premium. Chrysler is the mainstream American brand," brand CEO Al Gardner said during today's presentation.
Gardner set a sales target of 800,000 units by 2018, which marks an increase of 350,000 units compared to its 2013 sales results. That's a pretty big ask for a brand that's struggled to define itself over the past decade.
Fiat Chrysler shares get a boost after revised Stellantis merger deal with PSA
Tue, Sep 15 2020MILAN — Shares in Fiat Chrysler (FCA) rose sharply in Milan on Tuesday after the car maker and French partner PSA revised the terms of their merger deal, with FCA's shareholders getting a smaller cash payout but a stake in another business. FCA and PSA, which last year agreed to merge to give birth to Stellantis, the world's fourth largest car manufacturer, said late on Monday they had amended the accord to conserve cash and better face the COVID-19 challenge to the auto sector. Milan-listed shares in Fiat Chrysler rose almost 8% by 1000 GMT, while PSA gained 1.5%. Under the revised terms, FCA will cut from 5.5 billion euros ($6.5 billion) to 2.9 billion euros the cash portion of a special dividend its shareholders are set to receive on conclusion of the merger. However, PSA will for its part delay the planned spinoff of its 46% stake in car parts maker Faurecia until after the deal is finalized. That means all Stellantis shareholders — and not just the current PSA investors - will get shares in a company which has a market value of 5.8 billion euros. Based on Stellantis' 50-50 ownership structure, FCA and PSA respective shareholders will each receive a 23% stake in Faurecia. Analysts welcomed the 2.6 billion euros in additional liquidity for Stellantis' balance sheet as well as the increase in projected synergies to more than 5 billion euros from 3.7 billion. There was also further reassurance as the two companies confirmed they expected the deal to close by the end of the first quarter of 2021. "All told, the two players emerge as winners," broker ODDO BHF said in a note. "Of the two, FCA might be a bit more of a winner in the short term given the structure of the deal and the numerous payouts to shareholders to come in the quarters ahead (potentially close to 5 billion euros versus the current capitalization of around 16 billion euros)." The special dividend for FCA shareholders had proved contentious after Italy offered state guarantees for a 6.3 billion euro loan to the company's Italian business. "These announcements should, at last, end the debate over the financial terms of the merger, which had become a big topic and was still penalizing the two groups' share performances," ODDO BHF said. PSA and FCA said they would consider paying out 500 million euros to shareholders in each firm before closing or else a 1 billion euro payout to Stellantis shareholders afterwards, depending on market conditions and company performance and outlook.
