This auction is for a red 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXi Convertible 2 door car.  The car is in overall fair condition considering it's age, it runs and gets you where you want to go.  I have had the vehicle in my posession for the last year and a half and have had no mechanical problems and I drive it daily.  The car is not perfect however, it has a lot of cosmetic issues but the good news about that is that cosmetic issues can be fixed or hidden with a replacement cover.  Mechanically the car seems alright, again I have not had any trouble.  I have driven it out of town (300 miles away) and back and it loves the open road.  In "stand still" heavy traffic sometimes I notice that the check engine light sometimes flickers on and off but it goes away.  The car does not have any kind of overheating issues during the stand still heavy traffic which is a good thing, I am not too sure what causes that light to flicker on.

That is the overall general health of the car.  Below I will pin point specs/issues that I see in the car that might interest a potential buyer:

  • Has power everything, this car was top of the line in it's time: power - windows/locks/mirrors/drivers seat/convertible drop top *all working condition*
  • 2.5L V6 4 speed automatic engine
  • 16 mpg city/24 mpg hwy with an overall combined 19 mpg hwy & city
  • Clear Texas title ready to transfer to you
  • Low miles!!!! Only 112,663
  • Bucket leather seats, however they are torn & stained, especially the driver seat but seat covers is an easy fix
  • Fog Lights
  • Keyless entry fob *works* (1), factory original key (1), factory original valet key (1)
  • Lighted entry system
  • Cruise control
  • Power brakes - they squeak at times especially after rain
  • Rear window defroster
  • 16 Inch alloy wheels
  • Takes regular unleaded fuel (holds 15.8 gallons)
  • Tachometer & trip computer
  • 4 wheel ABS
  • Driver and passender front airbags
  • Air Conditioning available but needs an A/C service done, not blowing cold air
  • Radio/CD player works.  Infinity Audio system w/CD changer but I don't know if it works - factory radio has been replaced with a Pioneer CD player w/detachable face.  Also XM radio was installed at one time, connections are there but you would need a new system installed
  • Floor carpeting is severely stained, would need detail deep cleaning
  • Leather trim steering wheel in rough condition, currently has a steering wheel cover over it
  • Spare "donut" tire with tire changing jack and attachments
  • Center light (under rearview mirror) on passenger side works but needs a replacement bulb, also light insert that holds it in has come loose
  • Trunk won't stay open on it's own, you need to hold it up by hand - probably needs a replacement spring
  • Angler on A/C center vent on passenger side is broke, you can't change the position that outcoming air is angled
  • Sun visors have torn & diminishing fabric from age
  • New battery recently replaced in DEC 2013
  • The outside of the vehicle is fair, it has some dings, nicks, scrapes, but no major damage.  The heat here in Texas has taken a toll on the paint.  The paint is worn in some areas from the heat especially on the back trunk area, I have taken pictures so you can see what I mean.  It could use a gloss treatment to minimize the dryness appearance.
  • The tan convertible fabric top has a spot near the rear window edge where the fabric has slightly come unseamed

I have tried to cover everything as best as I can, personally looking at the vehicle would be optimal to best form your opinion.  This vehicle is being sold "as is" and I am confident you will be happy with the car and that you will find it was a fair purchase from a reputable seller.

Shipment:  I am open to whatever works best for you on getting it to you.  You can pay to have it shipped to you (you would have to set all of that up yourself and payment for that is completely your responsibility).  Also you can come get it from Austin, TX.  Or if you live close enough we might be able to arrange a "meeting half way" point for a small shipment fee paid to me.

Payment:  full payment is expected before taking delivery of the vehicle.  Only cash or certified funds from your bank.  If you are getting it financed, your bank will usually send you with certified funds to exchange for the vehicle.

Chrysler UConnect wins AOL Autos Technology of the Year Award

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The first annual AOL Autos Technology of the Year Award has been won by Chrysler's upgraded UConnect system.
Over 35 entries were considered and narrowed down to six finalists in three categories: Connectivity, Telematics and Active Safety. The judges, which included editors from AOL Autos, Autoblog and Engadget, as well as a number of other auto and tech journalists and luminaries, chose UConnect over the MyFord Mobile app, Audi Connect with Google Maps, Cadillac CUE, Honda's LaneWatch technology and Nissan's Tire Pressure Alert and Refill System. Even readers who were polled on which technology should win chose UConnect.
AOL Autos Editor in Chief David Kiley remarked that Chrysler's UConnect deserved the first Technology of the Year Award not because of what it does, but for how UConnect performs every time it's used. Kiley went on to say UConnect works the way it's supposed to, fills a need and puts a smile on your face. By meeting those requirements, UConnect very much deserved AOL Auto's first Tech of the Year award.

Four-horse race opens up for next Chrysler-Fiat CEO

Mon, 16 Dec 2013


There are some companies that could change leadership overnight and still remain more or less the operations that they are. But some have built themselves up around one central figure. Just ask Carlos Tavares, who found he couldn't escape the long shadow of Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Tavares recently left to find his own limelight. But Ghosn isn't the only executive who presides over two disparate automakers on opposite ends of the globe.
Having built up Fiat and Chrysler around himself, we can hardly imagine either automaker getting along without Sergio Marchionne. But the day will come when the famously sweater-clad bigwig will step down. The pressing questions remain when when that day will come, and who will take his place. The only solid clues we have are in the statements made mostly by Marchionne himself, but those statements have been all over the place. When speaking to Automotive News in 2012, he said he would step down "no earlier than 2013, no later than 2015." But a year later, he had already seemingly changed his tune, indicating he could still be at the helm in 2016. Fiat chairman John Elkann seems to think Marchionne, 61, could and should stay on longer.

Chrysler purchases remaining shares from VEBA Trust, announces funding plan

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

It's official: The Detroit Three is now The Detroit Two and The Fiat Subsidiary, Chrysler. Both the Italian carmaker and The Pentastar announced the completion of cash payments and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on future payments necessary to make the Chrysler Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat. As previously detailed, Chrysler made a cash payment of $1.9 billion and Fiat North America made a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the Voluntary Employment Benefit Association (VEBA) run by the United Auto Workers union.
On top of that, Chrysler Group signed an MOU that agrees to payments of $700 million to the VEBA in four installments, the first of which was made concurrently with the other cash payments. And for you trivia mavens, the full name of the UAW is the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. So go impress your loved ones with that nugget after you check out the press release below.
