This could be either a great project car if you can do the needed repairs or it can be a great parts car if you have your own 1998 Sebring that needs some newer parts.
I've driven this car daily for about three years. The engine starts and runs smoothly and the transmission seems to shift smoothly as well. If I could do most of the necessary work myself I would definitely keep the car, but paying a repair shop to do the work would be fairly expensive. This car is fully drivable as is.
Here's what I've been told is needed:
- Valve cover gaskets
- Electronic Control Module in the steering column that controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, high beams, etc. The turn signals work, the wipers work, but the high beams cannot be turned off. Also when you use the right turn signal the intermittent wiper function engages.
- Upper and lower ball joints and control arm on the driver's side.
- New passenger side headlight assembly. I don't remember the exact reason, but the bulb does not light fully.
- A new connector for the rear defogger. I'm told its common for these to come off due to the movement of the glass when the top goes up and down.
- There are also two spots where rust is starting to appear. The rear passenger side quarter panel and the bottom of the driver's side door.
- The front leather seats cushions are ripped from 15 years of normal use.
Now for the positives:
- As mentioned earlier the car starts and the engine runs smoothly. I've had oil changes done about around every 3k miles.
- The transmission appears to be in fine working order.
- The convertible top works perfectly and has no leaks. It is a cloth top that was installed in 2010 and looks like new.
- Timing belt and water pump replace at 131k miles.
- Power windows and door locks all work
- Radio, Cassette player and 6-CD changer work perfectly.
- Power steering works fine with no leaks.
- All brake line tubing and rear brakes were replaced in 2011, including rotors
- The alternator was replaced in 2011
- A new fuel pump was installed in December 2012.
- New tires in 2010. Approximately 25k miles on them.

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.
