Greetings,

You are bidding on a 03 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Now, before you start yelling "200,000 MILES", there are some things you need to know. First, this vehicle has been owned by my family since the day it was new. 90% of the miles that are on this vehicle are highway miles. We drive from Ohio to Florida at least 5 times a year, so the up-keep on this vehicle needed to be top notch. To keep from getting stuck on the road, anything that looked anywhere close to needing repaired or replaced was done right away, and with attention to detail. It had to be with the amount of miles this vehicle traveled in the course of a year.

The engine was replaced with one that had less than 4000 miles on it at 160,000 miles. So the engine has around 46,000 miles on it. Also replaced at the time was the timing belt, water-pump, plugs, wires, most of the gaskets, and seals, starter, engine mounts and struts, all fluids, all engine sensors, injectors, and a complete diagnostics of all systems to ensure quality work and operation. 

The Transmission was replaced at 140,000 miles. So the transmission has around 63,000 miles on it. With its replacement came a new torque converter, complete flush of the service lines and cooler, and a new control module.

Also replaced was the radiator, hoses, cooling fan, brakes to include calipers and rotors, front struts, rear shocks, rear anti-sway bars, front anti-sway links,  headlight lamps (White Light) Air Conditioning serviced, K&N Air filter, Axle Shafts, front wheel bearings, 4 wheel front end alignment, battery is one month old.

The vehicle was repainted one year ago and shows no signs of rust anywhere (probably because it has been garaged its entire life, even at work). Other than a few chips, it looks like new. New front windshield, and no issues with any other glass in the vehicle.

Tires are 80,000 mile Michelin and have approximately 50% wear on them.

A rear hitch was installed with a pre-wired 4-way flat connector.

Now to the entertainment and interior. Since I spent so much time on the road, I wanted the top-of-the-line entertainment center that included not only standard am/fm/cd radio, but also a back-up camera, DVD Player, XM Radio, Turn by Turn Navigation, IPod connect, and bluetooth that includes an external mic. This is all accomplished within one well installed unit that has a flip-up screen.  Also included is a amplifier that is pre-wired to the back of the vehicle to except add-on speakers. Two aux 12v power sources were installed both front and rear as well. 
The driver seat was rebuilt by the Chrysler dealership to include a new seat cushion and some hardware. It seats just-like-new. The rest of the seats show just as well with no stains, rips or tears. Carpet and headliner shows just as well as the seats do. Rear seats are removable and really open up the back of the vehicle to hauling options.

You will be hard pressed to find another vehicle in as good of shape as this one with half of the miles on it. I kept this vehicle nice and well maintained out of necessity, and someone is going to get the benefit of the work that has been done to it. Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I will go out of my way to make sure they are answered. I want you to know what you are buying and further confident about purchasing this vehicle. The only reason I am selling it is because I need more travel room to drive back and forth to Florida. Fuel economy is within the 24-26 range.  The vehicle is available for local sale. 
Good Luck
Eric

2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Speaking with Wards Auto at this year's Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles said that the next-generation Chrysler 200 will launch a whole new styling direction for the brand when it arrives for the 2014 model year. Gilles did not reveal any specific design cues or elements that will be found on the next 200, only saying that the new car "shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we've ever seen."
Indeed, the current 200 isn't exactly setting the world on fire with any sort of clever, emotive design, but Gilles knows that. "The current Chryslers on the road today certainly don't reflect where we're headed," he told Wards Auto. Instead, Gilles said that "we are deviating from where we are today, completely. It's a very different feeling (and) look."
The launch of the new Chrysler 200 will officially mean the death of its Dodge Avenger counterpart, though Gilles says that the company is working on an all-new product to replace that vehicle down the road. Still, Chrysler will need a successful player in the popular midsize segment, and Gilles fully expects the new 200 to be up to the task. "I think it's going to be a beautiful and relevant vehicle."

Chrysler purchases remaining shares from VEBA Trust, announces funding plan

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

It's official: The Detroit Three is now The Detroit Two and The Fiat Subsidiary, Chrysler. Both the Italian carmaker and The Pentastar announced the completion of cash payments and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on future payments necessary to make the Chrysler Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat. As previously detailed, Chrysler made a cash payment of $1.9 billion and Fiat North America made a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the Voluntary Employment Benefit Association (VEBA) run by the United Auto Workers union.
On top of that, Chrysler Group signed an MOU that agrees to payments of $700 million to the VEBA in four installments, the first of which was made concurrently with the other cash payments. And for you trivia mavens, the full name of the UAW is the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. So go impress your loved ones with that nugget after you check out the press release below.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.
