2002 Chrysler Sebring 2-Door Coupe LXi

Starting this auction with 'no reserve' for only $1..
.. its a dollar menu McSebring!

Worth At Least $3500! Under 130,000 Miles

+28 MPG,Cheap Parts, and Lots of Room

*The picture above does not reflect the busted out back windshield, please see the other updated picture.

Great everyday car, reliable and has many new parts (belts, breaks, tires at 75%,pump), leather seats, power everything, windows, huge drunk, full backseat, power sunroof and more. The only mechanical issue at this time is that it needs a fuel pump installed (which this auction comes with the part and its installed thru the back seat which is a breeze). The body is a chameleon wrap (few months old) that changes from purple to blue which looks awesome. The interior is also restored and is in really great shape.. leather seats (only one small hole in the back, not very noticeable).. no rips or tears in the rest. Dash looks great but has a crack in the back that you can see from one of the pictures.

So why am I selling this so cheap? Because I bought it 6 months ago to film 'how to flip a car'.. so I put this wrap on and I can't get anyone to help me finish it.. then I let it sit too long so the fuel pump goes out.. and THE DAY I get the fuel pump in a tree falls on it. Its pretty hard to show people how to flip a car when a tree goes thru it before the last film day. I'm too old for misadventure projects, I don't need the money, and my patience is beyond gone with this particular interest of mine. I'm willing to trade the whole project car for a McDouble and call it a day so the highest bid wins and I DONT CARE if it goes for $1.. its yours! The body was not even scratched by the tree branch but it took the back windshield out. The body is really awesome though -- unique & beautiful purple to blue chameleon body, premium chrome rims. Never been in a major car wreck and oil changed every 3000 miles. The car does need the oil / filters changed pretty soon, as its been sitting for a while.

THIS is the CHEAPEST vehicle on the market hands down. For what this is going to sell for I'm positive you won't be able to buy a car with this year, mileage, or condition and all it needs is about 30 minutes installing a fuel pump and around 3 hours of wrap work (which ANYONE can do without experience.. I put this wrap on myself and I had no idea what I was doing). You could even pay someone $50 on craigslist to finish it and put the pump in haha. The body is amazing but it does have a small crack on the front bumper but its so low that its not very noticeable. The dash also has a crack in it. If your willing to put in a little work then you will save a MINT. The truck DOES close.. I just had it open for the picture for some reason or another. The AC does blow but I'm sure actually sure if it blows cold as the only time I have driven this was when I picked it up in the Winter but I might test and update this listing later. When I picked this car up I drove it +200 miles without any issues at all. You won't find cars with blown engines, major body damage, or even tore out seats that will sell CHEAPER this this auction so make this your next vehicle. If you want a car that looks new both on the outside and the inside and you don't want to pay ANYTHING for.. then this is it.

Will I be showing this car? Yes.. but only if the price goes over $1,000. For under $1k its not worth showing since you could sell the tires and crush it and make your money back. It will be located in Johnson City near Science Hill, just message me and you will receive the address.

What Needs To Be Done To This Car

Install The Fuel Pump To Get It Running (Parts Included)

Finish the chameleon wrap (about 3 hours of work) which you don't need any 'skill' or tools to do. (The Wrap & Tools are Included)

Call to Install A New Back Windshield ($300 for parts/labor or about $50 if you do it yourself, you have to buy the windshield).

Read Before You Bid

The car does not run so you will need to tow it. If you believe you can get it running then you can leave it on the properly for 72 hours while you get it fixed. Tow it, drag it, push it home.. doesn't matter to me.

There is a crack in the dash, one in the front bumper, it needs the fuel pump installed, the wrap finished, and a back windshield purchased & installed.

The title is CLEAN and in hand.

The car is being sold AS-IS. The car was fully running before I let it sit for well over a month, had a mechanic look at it and the fuel pump is dead which fits the signs so pretty confident its the only issue keeping it from running.

So What Is It Worth?

Here is a snap shop of bluebook saying a fair purchase price in 'good' condition.. which I would rank it in excellent condition if the windshield wasn't the victim of a tree. Bluebook says $3371-$4022. You need $300 to professionally replace the windshield or about $50-100 to buy it do it yourself. You should be able to install the fuel pump yourself as its super easy to get to.

A Simple search on auto trader in the area doesn't have too many matches but its showing 2002 (with less miles ranging near the $4k mark).

Same on craigslist.. but take into consideration with less miles and a windshield..

So what is the cost of my car? I'm selling it for less then a cup of coffee. I think thats a deal!

PS: If I don't get a $1 bid on this then I'm installing the fuel pump and driving it straight to the crusher and putting the video on Youtube.

Marchionne recruiting activist investors to prompt GM merger

Tue, Jun 9 2015

Sergio Marchionne may have been rebuffed in his previous advances at General Motors, but he's not about to give up that easily. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Fiat Chrysler chief is now turning to activist investors to help coax GM into joining forces. Marchionne has been a staunch and ceaseless advocate of the need for consolidation, arguing that the industry needs to amalgamate into larger groups that will share resources and reduce overhead. Under his leadership, the Fiat group consolidated its own operations, and officially merged with Chrysler last year. But he's also been pursuing additional mergers with the likes of Volkswagen, Peugeot, Ford, and Opel (to name just a few). Now he's pursuing a merger with GM, which has not shown much enthusiasm towards the idea. For one thing, GM is a much larger company, and probably doesn't need FCA as much as FCA needs it. For another, it has a troubled past with Marchionne, who in 2005 dissolved an agreed merger (of sorts) with GM, yet still managed to get the General to pay Fiat some $2 billion in the process. However, Marchionne is evidently hoping that the intervention of activist investors could compel GM CEO Mary Barra and company to proceed with a merger anyway. For precedent, he's looking at the recent negotiation between GM and some of its stakeholders that prompted the company to buy back $5 billion of its own shares, demonstrating Barra's willingness to deal with investors. The more compelling precedent, however, may have been set in 2006, when activist investor Kirk Kerkorian locked arms with Carlos Ghosn to get GM to consider joining the alliance between Renault and Nissan. GM ultimately declined, and Ghosn turned instead of Daimler (which of course has its own history of having merged with Chrysler). Only time will tell if this initiative will prove more successful, but one thing's for sure, and that's that Marchionne isn't about to relent in his pursuit of a major merger partner.

Chrysler Town & Country plug-in hybrid minivan coming in 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Among the multitude of models that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced as part of its five-year production plan in May was a plug-in hybrid version of the Town & Country minivan for sometime in 2016. However, according to the latest pronouncement from company CEO Sergio Marchionne, that timetable may have been moved forward quite a bit.
Marchionne told Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show that the PHEV minivan would now be launching in late 2015. That strategy does seem a bit confusing, though, because the next-gen platform for the T&C isn't supposed to hit the road until sometime in 2016, according to the plan. So it's not clear whether the boss means the PHEV rides on the current chassis or if the new model is going on sale early.
The technology underpinning the new plug-in hybrid has been shrouded in mystery. However, during the five-year plan meeting, FCA claimed the model could earn fuel economy figures around 75 mpge. Chrysler previously tested a 25-unit fleet of them as part of a demonstration test in Auburn Hills, MI, in 2012, but that didn't go so well.

Are old airbags killers?

Sat, Jul 25 2015

Takata airbags may not be the only ones with some very serious problems. A new report from TheDetroitBureau.com claims that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened its second investigation into bad airbag inflators, and this time, they aren't from Takata. The focus of this latest case is on the airbag inflators in some 500,000 older Chrysler Town and Country minivans and Kia Optima sedans, all of which come from ARC Automotive. While the Takata case looks at problems stemming from the engineering and production process, the ARC investigation focuses on the age of the inflators. As TDB explains, airbag inflators are essentially what the military refers to as shaped charges, sort of like Claymores (for fans of the Call of Duty series). In combat, they blow up in a specific direction, protecting those behind the explosion, although in the case of airbags, the explosion "[creates] a precise rush of hot gases" that inflate the bags. NHTSA's worry is that with the increased average age of today's vehicles, years and years of being bounced, jolted, and shaken about and exposed to often-radical temperature changes have altered the nature of the explosives in these vehicles, causing too big of an explosion. "It may be a reasonable assumption that as these things age they deteriorate." – Analyst George Peterson "It may be a reasonable assumption that as these things age they deteriorate," analyst George Peterson told TheDetroitBureau.com. NHTSA boss Mark Rosekind backed up aging angle. "Cars are lasting on the road a lot longer than ever before," Rosekind told TDB, adding that seals could start breaking down. "Is aging now an issue? That's part of the investigation going on." NHTSA has only identified two "incidents" so far, although according to Center for Auto Safety Director Clarence Ditlow, there's genuine concern that there could be additional unidentified cases. "Could we have missed more? That could be the case," Ditlow told TDB, citing the misidentified deaths in the Takata investigation. Ditlow was quick to point out that, even in older vehicles, airbags are much more likely to protect than harm. "No one is saying you should disable your airbags," the safety advocate told TDB. "You're far more likely to be helped than hurt by one if they go off." At least one automaker, meanwhile, has already been advised of the investigation by NHTSA and is checking its airbags.
