1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible LXI review from North America
"Sporty, fun, half-way dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small things, until I made my last payment, at about 70000 (60 months). It started with the starter going out.
Then, bearing went out.
For several years, I have also had a problem with cranking, but not turning over. Eventually, it starts, but it is in the shop now because it just won't turn over.
General comments?
Overall, a sporty car to drive, and to look at. Doesn't seem aged at all, even though it is a 1998. The interior is leather bucket, so not that comfortable to drive. But performs very well.
The starting problem is my biggest frustration. Any suggestions??
