Re: Thinking about buying a sebring

the only trouble spots you'll need to be concerned about is the transmission; early model Chrysler tranny were notorious for failures; maybe she's already had a tranny failure and this is either the rebuilt unit or a new one. Make sure the timing has been replaced w/in the 60,000 mile range; b/c when the belt snaps on that 2.5, all hell breaks loose and you're in for quite a wild ride. The ball joints; if not properly maintained will fail causing clicking/clunking sounds as well as tie-rod ends. Other than those factors, the Sebring convertible is a great car, good in gas 22/29 EPA rating, I believe, and has been the most popular convertible around; better than a Mustang convertible.
