    Based on what @SmallPackage said, you should sell this car for $3500 and be done with it LOL

    Its a great pimp/wife beater car. But what gets me are the one’s I run into all the time that buy a used one thinking it’s gonna be a slick back wind in the hair collector car. They soon find out the disappointment of owning a cab forward front wheel drive mitsu/crysler. Most original owners couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Research shows they had tons of bs problems and some still haven’t been fixed under warranty 15-25 yrs later.

    Funny.
    When I got back the first time for home time there was a couple inches of water on the right side floor.
    There had been a huge storm with 60mph winds and a lot of rain.
    It was frozen, then it thawed and shorted out the amplifier under the front passenger seat as it sloshed around.

    And yes, the battery.
    I had Pep Boys replace the bad one, as I wasn't going to deal with that headache.
    I made them charge me extra because of the labor involved.
    $12.50 for that job? Not fair to you...

    It has the 2.5 6 engine.

    Sure, there are issues I have to deal with.
    But, it is such a cool car! I love it.
    And, like I said, only 62k miles on it. It drives like a dream.

    I probably could.
    But I would never find a car I like better for $3,500.

    The 2.5 V6 seems to be pretty decent in the Sebring. But I know of a dozen or so of them that just purred along and then outta nowhere sheared off the oil pump drive for no reason and lose psi and instant lock up. Most were in the Dodges for some reason. That was a major recall if I remember correctly.

    Ugh a Chrysler product. Amazing they’ve been able to dupe folks into buying that junk for all these years.
