I will attempt to represent my PT Cruiser to the best of my ability. This car has some mechanical and cosmetic defects and needs servicing, but is still in good running condition. However, the antilock breaking system is not functioning because I believe a wheel speed sensor has failed. The paint, body and interior may need professional servicing if you are not a do-it yourself, mechanically inclined person. The tires match and have about 50% or more of tread. As far as I know, this car is free of major mechanical problems but will need some reconditioning. Its paint and bodywork will require minor and major touch-ups, with repairable cosmetic defects. It's engine compartment may have minor leaks but nothing I am aware of. There are body scratches, dings and minor interior blemishes. The car has Zenon front and rear bumper covers. It has a clean title history, with some service records available, and has just passed New Jersey emission inspection.

The car has been kept in the family. I bought it from my sister.

It's been extremely reliable. It has always started and ran flawlessly.

The air conditioner has weak to no cool output. It has never been recharged so perhaps that's the problem.

The timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Service receipts are provided.

I was hit from behind on I-95 at slow speed in stop and go traffic by a Ford Explorer. He veered off and clipped the driver side. I replaced both tail lights and thought I would do the body work. I decided not to finish the job. I have posted a good number of photos to illustrate the degree of damage.

The handle to adjust the recline on the driver side seat broke off during some freezing cold weather. I have the handle. It's in a good position for me so I never bothered to fix it.

The fog lights don't light. It could be he bulbs or a fuse. I haven't checked.

It could use a good cleaning inside and out.

The car was not in NJ during SuperStorm Sandy. It was in Richmond Virginia with me at the time.  

To sum it up:

This car has been one of the most dependable vehicles I have ever owned.

This is a car for someone that is mechanically handy that can fix it up for themselves or to re-sell.

Thank you for reviewing my no reserve auction. Email me with any questions you may have. If you have a low or zero ebay feedback please contact me before placing a bid. Thanks

Fiat Chrysler’s Sergio Marchionne throws more cold water on Tesla, EVs

Tue, Oct 10 2017

Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has once again sounded off on industry upstart Tesla and its wunderkind boss, Elon Musk. In the process, he doubled down on FCA's reluctance to follow its competitors headlong into electrifying its vehicle fleet, saying "we're not betting the bank on going fully electric in the next decade. It won't happen." Marchionne made his comments on Monday during remarks at the New York Stock Exchange, where he was marking the 70th anniversary of Ferrari. They come as Tesla struggles to ramp up production of its Model 3 sedan, its first mass-market offering, and the company continues to hemorrhage money. Here's what he said: "We still don't have a viable model for delivering an electric car. As much as I like Elon Musk, and he's a good friend, and actually he's done a phenomenal job of marketing Telsa, I remain unconvinced of a new economic viability of the model that he's pitching. So I think we need to be careful, because when we embrace electrification, and I made comments on the fact that we lose money on every Fiat 500, the electric that we sell in the U.S. Now that's reflective of the 2011-2010 costs in terms of components. Those costs have come down. If I were to do it again, I would certainly reduce the amount of the loss, but I would not make any money. And you can't run economic entities on losses. It doesn't happen. "So how do we find a convergence of technology bringing prices of components down and allows us to price accordingly — or we need to navigate through this process in a combined way between combustion and electrification to yield at least a minimum of economic returns that allows for our continuity? The last thing you want is me to be successful selling cars for 24 months and then go bust. That's not a good story. Especially in a place like this which rewards economic success. Let's not sit here and design our own future in the tank. Let's try and do it properly. We will do all the right things. We are investing without making a lot of noise on electrification. We will combine it with combustion to yield the right level of CO2. But we're not betting the bank on going fully electric in the next decade. It won't happen." It's not the first time Marchionne has publicly expressed doubts about Tesla's business plan.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.
