1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Don't Know (maybe LE?) review from North America
"Junk in a pretty package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission problems that could never be found - even with numerous trips to the shop.
Windows didn't seal properly and leaked.
Head Gasket blew, resulting in approximately $4,000 in repairs.
Starter had to be replaced. (She left me stranded 60 miles from home!)
We put a lot of money into repairs, which when coupled with the monthly loan payments, made the car very expensive to own.
General comments?
The Sebring was a fun car if you had the money to throw away on it. I still owed $4,000 on it when I traded it in on a brand new car. Of course, that meant the loan for the new car shot up by the additional $4,000! Even with financing in the additional $4,000 on the new car loan, my husband and I agreed that it would be cheaper in the long run.
