Greetings,

You are bidding on a 03 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Now, before you start yelling "200,000 MILES", there are some things you need to know. First, this vehicle has been owned by my family since the day it was new. 90% of the miles that are on this vehicle are highway miles. We drive from Ohio to Florida at least 5 times a year, so the up-keep on this vehicle needed to be top notch. To keep from getting stuck on the road, anything that looked anywhere close to needing repaired or replaced was done right away, and with attention to detail. It had to be with the amount of miles this vehicle traveled in the course of a year.

The engine was replaced with one that had less than 4000 miles on it at 160,000 miles. So the engine has around 46,000 miles on it. Also replaced at the time was the timing belt, water-pump, plugs, wires, most of the gaskets, and seals, starter, engine mounts and struts, all fluids, all engine sensors, injectors, and a complete diagnostics of all systems to ensure quality work and operation. 

The Transmission was replaced at 140,000 miles. So the transmission has around 63,000 miles on it. With its replacement came a new torque converter, complete flush of the service lines and cooler, and a new control module.

Also replaced was the radiator, hoses, cooling fan, brakes to include calipers and rotors, front struts, rear shocks, rear anti-sway bars, front anti-sway links,  headlight lamps (White Light) Air Conditioning serviced, K&N Air filter, Axle Shafts, front wheel bearings, 4 wheel front end alignment, battery is one month old.

The vehicle was repainted one year ago and shows no signs of rust anywhere (probably because it has been garaged its entire life, even at work). Other than a few chips, it looks like new. New front windshield, and no issues with any other glass in the vehicle.

Tires are 80,000 mile Michelin and have approximately 50% wear on them.

A rear hitch was installed with a pre-wired 4-way flat connector.

Now to the entertainment and interior. Since I spent so much time on the road, I wanted the top-of-the-line entertainment center that included not only standard am/fm/cd radio, but also a back-up camera, DVD Player, XM Radio, Turn by Turn Navigation, IPod connect, and bluetooth that includes an external mic. This is all accomplished within one well installed unit that has a flip-up screen.  Also included is a amplifier that is pre-wired to the back of the vehicle to except add-on speakers. Two aux 12v power sources were installed both front and rear as well. 
The driver seat was rebuilt by the Chrysler dealership to include a new seat cushion and some hardware. It seats just-like-new. The rest of the seats show just as well with no stains, rips or tears. Carpet and headliner shows just as well as the seats do. Rear seats are removable and really open up the back of the vehicle to hauling options.

You will be hard pressed to find another vehicle in as good of shape as this one with half of the miles on it. I kept this vehicle nice and well maintained out of necessity, and someone is going to get the benefit of the work that has been done to it. Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I will go out of my way to make sure they are answered. I want you to know what you are buying and further confident about purchasing this vehicle. The only reason I am selling it is because I need more travel room to drive back and forth to Florida. Fuel economy is within the 24-26 range.  The vehicle is available for local sale. 
Good Luck
Eric

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.

FCA recalls over 200k Jeep Cherokees for windshield wiper static

Tue, Sep 1 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is issuing a recall for over 200,000 versions of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee due to a problem with static buildup disabling the windshield wipers. FCA has identified 158,671 units in the United States. Another 18,366 vehicles are estimated to be affected in Canada, a further 3,582 in Mexico, and 26,049 outside of North America. The problem, according to the first statement below, results from static building up if the wipers are operated in dry conditions. The static could mess with the wipers' control module, rendering them disabled. To fix the problem, dealers will be instructed to install a ground strap to the module. In parallel, FCA is also offering incentives to the owners of certain trucks that were subject to recall but for which remedies were not immediately available. To encourage those owners to bring their older vehicles in for the required service, the automaker will disperse $100 prepaid cards for use at their discretion. The program is offered to owners of certain model year Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Chrysler Aspen, and Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicles, as well as certain Dodge Dakota and Ram trucks. Owners of the affected Grand Cherokees will have the option instead to take a $1,000 consideration toward the purchase of a new vehicle or for parts and service. The offers are only being extended under certain specific criteria, though. So if you think that could be you, you'll want to read through the conditions in the second announcement below. STATEMENT: CONTROL MODULE August 31, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 158,671 SUVs in the U.S. to help protect their control modules from static buildup that may potentially disable the vehicles' windshield wipers. An investigation by FCA US discovered static buildup may occur if the vehicles' windshield wipers are activated during dry conditions. Significant static buildup may affect a control module that powers the wipers. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Affected are model-year 2014 Jeep Cherokee SUVs. An estimated 18,366 vehicles will be recalled in Canada, as will an estimated 3,582 in Mexico and 26,049 outside the NAFTA region. Dealers will install a ground strap to the control module to eliminate the potential for static buildup. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost.
