Key Disclaimers:

1] The AutoCheck history indicates "3 owners" because in March 2012, we changed the title from both Grandparents' name, to just my Grandma's, thus, the 3rd unique (titled) owner.

2] There have never been any accidents or structural damage/impacts, floods, etc. to this PT Cruiser. 

3] I've driven this car consistently, but minimally this past 12 months, more to keep it moving and running for good health than anything else . . . meaning just for errands around Foley. For example, the odometer was 69,245 in June 2012, so I've only hovered at around adding 4,600 miles from July - July.

4] RE: the odometer "711" discrepancy...It seems obvious in the car history report, that there was at some point at a dealer service center, a typo or some such when they notated the odometer (at time of service). Just look at the mileage both before & after this "typo". It clearly shows there was no tampering, and all the mileage accrual is consistent. I have all of the vehicle maintenance paperwork from 2005-2013 if you are 'concerned' about it. I have no problem giving it all to you.

5] they purchased this on 10-18-2005 from Southern Chevrolet in Foley, AL. I have all of the original purchase paperwork. Mileage on that day was: 11,919.

Situation Context :

Hello, I am handling this vehicle sale as part of my late Grandparents' estate; I have just received the Court Letters granting me the vehicle as sole beneficiary. I don't personally profit from this however, as the proceeds are vital to finish paying off my late Grandfather's nursing & medical obligations.

They were only the 2nd owners of this PT Crusier, having purchased it from Foley's Southern Chevrolet dealer in 2005, as indicated above.

It is in truly stellar condition, and mechanically and aesthetically is quite "young" for its age! At only 73,851 miles, that's an avg. of a mere 7,385 miles per year - rare. I've put a lot of elbow grease into their car since July, polishing and shining the baby. For a while I had thought I was going to keep their car in lieu of my own vehicle, hence some of the repairs & long-term maintenance I have applied to it this past 12 months. 


Best,

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Marchionne urges industry consolidation, again

Fri, May 29 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't just an instigator of mergers – he's also a staunch advocate for their need in the industry. And he seems convinced another big one will happen in the next few years. "I am absolutely certain that before 2018 there will be a merger," said Marchionne. "It's my personal opinion, based on a gut feeling." Though the terms "absolutely certain" and "gut feeling" would seem to convey vastly different degrees of certainty, his chief's statement would seem to suggest some inside knowledge of an impending deal. Marchionne, of course, brokered the consolidation of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire over which he now presides, and has been actively seeking another merger to help reduce redundancy and overhead between major automakers in the industry. With which automaker he might be seeking such a merger, however, remains a big question. He was recently reported to have approached Mary Barra regarding a potential merger with General Motors, but was said to have been rebuffed. The Italian-Canadian executive may not be alone in his advocacy for industry consolidation, though. Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said that "In principle, Marchionne is right – the auto industry develops the same things ten times over." Bringing major automakers together would ostensibly reduce that redundancy. Marchionne had been linked to a potential takeover of Opel when GM was shedding brands post-bankruptcy, but in the end the Detroit giant opted to keep its European division in-house.
