Only 100700 miles on it too.

Right now it's at the dealership cause we worked out a deal where they had to fix the exhaust and oil leak, whatever it may be. Turns out I'm getting new valve cover gaskets, a new oil pan, and a full exhaust. It's there for a couple days because the old o2 sensor wouldn't come out so they had to order a new one.

This will be my every day driver untill it's paid off. Then we'll see what I want to do with it. I have ideas, but still open to options.

Not a bad deal if it's in good shape. I was trying to buy almost the same car today with 81K miles on it and the other dealer wanted $5200 wholesale for it. Of course he's on crack.

My sister had one when they we brand new. She said she hated it. Too many problems. Mostly just cuz she went through like 5 batterys in like 1.5 years.

It is in pretty damn good shape for 2k, trust me. The interior's almost perfect, everything works well on it. The body has a few dings and scrapes. But it looks real good from a few feet away.


And yes, he's on crack 100%. Maybe 3-3500.

This was a Chrysler Sebring Lxi, dealer book is actually $3200. You got a better than average deal.

When I was looking at buying it after the test drive, I looked up the book value on mine even in poor condition was around 3000. I got one hell of a deal.

It still feels like a brand new car too.


EDIT: That 2k includes tax, title transfer, etc, along with the oil leak and exhaust leak fix. I told em when I was negotiating that I don't want another car that leaks anything...I already have one of those. lol

nice deal!!!

Looks nice. and looks like you got a pretty good deal

i used to have one, just make sure you change the timing belt on it and you will be fine. for another 60k. don't beat on the trany too much either, give it fresh oil and don't get it over heated and it will be fine for many trouble free miles.

oh and on a nother note, never close the door by pushing on the window, if you do after a short while it will leak by the side mirror and door seal.

There should be still a white avenger driving around with GTR sticker in the back... wave to it if you see it ;p
