I HAVE DECIDED TO "BITE THE BULLET" AND SELL OFF A FEW OF MY CARS AND PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.  I ALSO HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER THAT I WILL BE PUTTING UP FOR SALE ON EBAY AS WELL.  THIS WAS A 3RD VEHICLE THAT I OWNED AND WAS USED AS A PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE FOR A BUSINESS I OWN.  IT HAD BEEN WRAPPED AND JUST DRIVEN AROUND LOCALLY.  I PURCHASED IT FROM A NAVY PERSON ON NOVEMBER 27, 2013 AND RECEIVED EXTENSIVE SERVICE RECORDS WITH IT.  ITS A 2003 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER GT TURBO WITH THE 2.4L ENGINE AND HAS 215 HORSEPOWER AND PRODUCES 245 lb-ft OF TORQUE AT A LOW 3,600 rpm, WITH MORE THAN 90 % OF PEAK TORQUE from 2300 to 5000 rpm. IT HAS A 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH THE AUTOSTICK OPTION.  AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT IS FULLY LOADED WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION THAT CAME ON THE GT TURBO MODELS.  IT HAS 177,311 MILES (might get slightly higher as I still drive it) AND RUNS GREAT, AND LOOKS GREAT AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT HAS THE HIGH MILEAGE BY LOOKING AT IT, OR DRIVING IT.  ITS ELECTRIC BLUE, AND HAS BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR, TINTED WINDOWS, POWER MOON ROOF, CRUISE CONTROL, FACTORY CD PLAYER, HEATED FRONT SEATS, POWER EVERYTHING, A/C, TRACTION CONTROL, TURBO, 17 INCH CHROME RIMS WITH EXCELLENT TIRES.  THE BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO DENTS AND JUST HAS THE USUAL SCRATCHES THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM DAY TO DAY DRIVING OF THIS YEAR AND MILEAGE.  THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT, AND I DID RUN A REPORT ON IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT (i will provide it to the winner), AND IT CAME UP CLEAN WITH NO ISSUES.  THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO TEARS, ALL 4 HEADRESTS ARE INCLUDED. NO CRACKS IN THE DASH, ALL THE ORIGINAL MATS ARE THERE AS WELL.  THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT FIRST CAR OR TOY CAR.

ALL GT TURBO MODELS COME WITH THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS TO SEPERATE IT FROM THE STANDARD PT CRUISER:

the PT Turbo standard features included:

- Performance 4-wheel disc brakes and ABS with traction control
- 17" Blade CHROME 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels
- P205/50HR17 all-season performance tires
- Body-color monotone front fascia with larger, lower openings

- Performance front seats with unique LEATHER interior
- Driver seat manual lumbar adjuster
- Silver-faced cluster gauges with 140 mph speedometer "2.4L Turbo" badging
- Unique instrument panel accents
- "GT" embroidered front floor mats

FROM THE RECEIPTS THAT CAME WITH IT, IT WAS CLEAR IT HAD ALL ITS REGULAR MAINTENENCE DONE AND I WILL PROVIDE THOSE TO THE WINNER.  I ALSO DID A TON OF WORK TO THE CAR AS WELL AS PERFORMANCE UPGRADES WHEN I BOUGHT IT.  THIS IS A LIST OF THE PARTS I HAVE BOUGHT AND HAD INSTALLED, AND I WILL PROVIDE RECEIPTS FOR THIS WORK AS WELL:

NEW REAR HATCH LIFTGATE STRUTS $37.00

NEW GOODYEAR BLUE RADIATOR/HEATER HOSES $42.00

MOPAR SPARK PLUG WIRE SET $37.94

MOPAR PLUGS $20.12

TIMING BELT KIT (CONSISTING OF 1 TIMING BELT (146 teeth), TENSIONER, IDLER BEARING, WATER PUMP, WATER PUMP GASKET) $132.55

THERMOSTAT, GASKET, SERPENTINE BELT, VALVE COVER GASKET $54.53

HEARTHROB 2.5" CAT-BACK DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM $359.52

EIBACH PRO-KIT 2" LOWERING SPRINGS $200.00

ON 12/10/2013 I HAD MY MECHANIC INSTALL THE FOLLOWING PARTS: WIRES/PLUGS, OIL/OIL FILTER, VALVE COVER GASKET, EIBACH SPRINGS, DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM, TIMING BELT KIT, A/C SYSTEM SERVICE, AND THE TOTAL BILL FOR THE LABOR ALONE WAS $1,104.92 (RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED).

ON 4/7/2014 I HAD THE FOLLOWING WORK PERFORMED: BRAND NEW FRONT LEFT & RIGHT CALIPERS WITH NEW HARDWARE, FRONT LEFT & RIGHT ROTORS, FRONT LEFT & RIGHT BRAKE PADS AND THE TOTAL BILL FOR PARTS/LABOR WAS $572.74 (RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED)

Some recent repairs that were performed prior to me buying the care were:

ON 6/29/2013 REPLACED ENGINE MOUNT & A/C SUCTION LINE.  THE TOTAL BILL WITH LABOR WAS $414.98 (receipt will be provided)

ON 8/03/2013 REPLACED 2 NEW FRONT TIRES, MOUNTING & BALANCE.  THE TOTAL BILL WITH LABOR WAS $235.23 (receipt will be provided)

ON 8/03/2013 REPLACED SWAY BAR LINK, LOWER CONTROL ARM R/S, TRANSFILTER KIT, STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH & ATF+4 FLUID.  THE TOTAL BILL WITH LABOR WAS $329.33.  (receipt will be provided)

THE CARS RUNS GREAT, HAS GREAT PICK-UP WITH THE TURBO AND STOPS PERFECT.  IT LOOKS GOOD WITH THE LOWERED STANCE, THE SPRINGS GIVE IT A NICE TOUGH CLEAN LOOK, AND THE DUAL EXHAUST LOOKS GREAT FROM THE REAR WITH A NICE LITTLE RUMBLE.  I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND DRIVE IT WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH NO CONCERNS.  I HAVE NOT HAD IT VERY LONG SO I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU DETAILS OF THE HISTORY WHILE I HAVE OWNED IT, BUT FROM LOOKING AT ALL THE PRIOR RECEIPTS IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. 

IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY THING IT MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED IS MAYBE SHOCKS AT SOME POINT.  THEY SEEM FINE, BUT ALL OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE LIFT KITS IN THEM AND THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE PUT LOWERING SPRINGS IN YEARS, SO IM NOT USED TO BEING SO LOW TO THE GROUND, SO ITS HARD TO TELL.

DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE, IT WILL BE SOLD IN AS/IS CONDITION WITH NO WARRANTY OFFERED.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU.  IF YOU ARE LOCAL, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME BY AND SEE IT AND BRING A MECHANIC IF YOU WOULD LIKE.  I HAVE PERFECT FEEDBACK ON EBAY AND HAVE SOLD NUMEROUS CARS OF MINE WITH NO TROUBLE, SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, BIG OR SMALL.

THE $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE AT CLOSE OF AUCTION VIA PAYPAL WITH THE REMAINING BALANCE DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.

I WILL NOT SHIP THE VEHICLE, BUT WILL ASSIST THE BUYER IN ANY WAY I CAN.

Chrysler 200 replacement coming in January

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autoweek reports the next Chrysler 200 will bow early next year. CEO Sergio Marchionne has said the 2015 model will debut next January, and Chrysler plans to cut the 2014 200 model year short to make way for the model's successor. According to AW, internal documents reveal 2014 model production will start this July and run through early January, 2014. The memos don't specify whether its Dodge Avenger twin will also see a shortened model year (the latter was originally rumored for discontinuation, but a successor is apparently back on the table). Chrysler is investing some $1 billion to construct paint and body facilities at its Sterling Heights, Michigan plant for the next-generation 200.
From what we've heard so far, we can expect the 2015 200 to bring a new design language to the Chrysler brand that will eventually bleed into the automaker's other products. Early reports have also suggested the four door will boast a nine-speed automatic transmission and return up to 38 miles per gallon.
Chrysler executed a very successful facelift in 2011, turning the flailing Sebring into the newly minted 200. Buyers responded enthusiastically, with sales jumping 44 percent in 2012. That step up was enough to make the 200 the brand's best-selling car. The momentum hasn't slackened, either, with sales up 21 percent during the first two months of this year.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.

Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
