This auction is for a red 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXi Convertible 2 door car. The car is in overall fair condition considering it's age, it runs and gets you where you want to go. I have had the vehicle in my posession for the last year and a half and have had no mechanical problems and I drive it daily. The car is not perfect however, it has a lot of cosmetic issues but the good news about that is that cosmetic issues can be fixed or hidden with a replacement cover. Mechanically the car seems alright, again I have not had any trouble. I have driven it out of town (300 miles away) and back and it loves the open road. In "stand still" heavy traffic sometimes I notice that the check engine light sometimes flickers on and off but it goes away. The car does not have any kind of overheating issues during the stand still heavy traffic which is a good thing, I am not too sure what causes that light to flicker on.

That is the overall general health of the car. Below I will pin point specs/issues that I see in the car that might interest a potential buyer:

Has power everything, this car was top of the line in it's time: power - windows/locks/mirrors/drivers seat/convertible drop top *all working condition*
2.5L V6 4 speed automatic engine
16 mpg city/24 mpg hwy with an overall combined 19 mpg hwy & city
Clear Texas title ready to transfer to you
Low miles!!!! Only 112,663
Bucket leather seats, however they are torn & stained, especially the driver seat but seat covers is an easy fix
Fog Lights
Keyless entry fob *works* (1), factory original key (1), factory original valet key (1)
Lighted entry system
Cruise control
Power brakes - they squeak at times especially after rain
Rear window defroster
16 Inch alloy wheels
Takes regular unleaded fuel (holds 15.8 gallons)
Tachometer & trip computer
4 wheel ABS
Driver and passender front airbags
Air Conditioning available but needs an A/C service done, not blowing cold air
Radio/CD player works. Infinity Audio system w/CD changer but I don't know if it works - factory radio has been replaced with a Pioneer CD player w/detachable face. Also XM radio was installed at one time, connections are there but you would need a new system installed
Floor carpeting is severely stained, would need detail deep cleaning
Leather trim steering wheel in rough condition, currently has a steering wheel cover over it
Spare "donut" tire with tire changing jack and attachments
Center light (under rearview mirror) on passenger side works but needs a replacement bulb, also light insert that holds it in has come loose
Trunk won't stay open on it's own, you need to hold it up by hand - probably needs a replacement spring
Angler on A/C center vent on passenger side is broke, you can't change the position that outcoming air is angled
Sun visors have torn & diminishing fabric from age
New battery recently replaced in DEC 2013
The outside of the vehicle is fair, it has some dings, nicks, scrapes, but no major damage. The heat here in Texas has taken a toll on the paint. The paint is worn in some areas from the heat especially on the back trunk area, I have taken pictures so you can see what I mean. It could use a gloss treatment to minimize the dryness appearance.
The tan convertible fabric top has a spot near the rear window edge where the fabric has slightly come unseamed

I have tried to cover everything as best as I can, personally looking at the vehicle would be optimal to best form your opinion. This vehicle is being sold "as is" and I am confident you will be happy with the car and that you will find it was a fair purchase from a reputable seller.

Shipment: I am open to whatever works best for you on getting it to you. You can pay to have it shipped to you (you would have to set all of that up yourself and payment for that is completely your responsibility). Also you can come get it from Austin, TX. Or if you live close enough we might be able to arrange a "meeting half way" point for a small shipment fee paid to me.

Payment: full payment is expected before taking delivery of the vehicle. Only cash or certified funds from your bank. If you are getting it financed, your bank will usually send you with certified funds to exchange for the vehicle.

What the Chrysler 200 will probably look like in convertible form

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Since 1996, Chrysler has offered a convertible version of its Sebring and 200. As this seems very unlikely to change, it's safe to assume that a new 200 Convertible is in the works following the unveiling of the radically redesigned sedan. What it will look like, though, remains an open question.
Traditionally, the only major styling differences between the Sebring/200 Convertible and the sedan were found above the beltline. It's likely a 2016 200 Convertible would follow a similar philosophy, especially considering the dashing good looks of the redesigned sedan.
Artist Theophilus Chin has a similar idea, as shown in a pair of renderings he's released. Using a few of the stock photos from the 200 Sedan's reveal, Chin has given us our first glimpse of what a 200 Convertible could looks like. It's sharp, retaining the good looks of the sedan. The windshield looks like it's been swept back further, and obviously, there are a pair of doors missing. Other than that, it's the same attractive car that debuted at Detroit.

Wish you had a world-famous auto exec give your commencement speech? Watch this

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

We've seen some pretty great commencement speeches over the years. There was Steve Jobs' incredibly inspiring Stanford address in 2005, John Stewart's insightful speech to the graduating class of William and Mary in 2004 and Steven Colbert's hilarious 2011 address at Northwestern, but automotive executives aren't strangers to honorary degrees. Former General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner spoke at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011, and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne recently gave the keynote at Walsh College's 100th Commencement Ceremony. The executive knows a thing or two about success and following one's beliefs to fulfillment.
"I constantly encourage my co-workers at Fiat and Chrysler to go beyond the cliche and the conventional to try new approaches and change perspective each and every day," Marchionne said. "I exhort them not to repeat the same things, the same approaches, and I remind them they are indeed free. The freedom I am talking about is something inside you. It is determined by how open minded you remain, how receptive you are to the new and to the different, to the infinite possibilities that present themselves even if you don't go looking for them or could never have imagined. Being free means that you have the strength not to be conditioned by what others want you to do or by what may seem to be the easiest choice."
Amen to that. You can check out the brief press release on the address below as well as a video of a few highlights from the speech.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
