    That reminds me. Didn’t we have a deal for a trailer a couple yrs back? Still interested. Lol. Still can’t believe I passed up a new Stoughton for $34k in March of 2020.

    I recently came on a good used car deal from a private party.
    1997 Chrysler Sebring LXi convertible for $2,500.
    Brand new Pirelli tires, no dents or rust, shiny red paint, and only 61,000 miles on it.

    I
    You did good cause that car ain't worth much more. If its the Mitsubishi 2.4 replace that rubber timing belt asap. It goes the engine is scrap. I have exact car. Has 194,000 on it and 90% of the crap on it doesn't work anymore. Conveniently jack up and remove left front tire to get to battery. Dash panel for hvac is the worst. Gauge cluster will go out around 150,000 no matter what. Always fills with water and smells like mold for days after a wash or rain. I Inherited it. Worst car I ever did not pay for. I keep it around only to drive it in the crappy weather so i don’t mess up my classics. Lol!
    Good thing is in June it is 25 years old so I can put a $50 5 year antique plate on it and bypass inspections forever.

    The seat belts are the best. Sometimes they cannot be pulled out of the seat backs for 15 minutes or half hr after you start up and drive. Electric sensor part for it is unatianium through crysler. You can constantly hear the sensor for the belts clicking as long as weight is in the seat even with key off. Runs battery down if you leave something of weight in the seat while parked. Lol
