    Ive kept my upkeep on it up to date. Bought with 98k miles 5 years ago. Now has over 265k and its still going strong. Comfortable, and appealing, its a dream to drive!

  • Nightmare on wheels! - 2000 Chrysler Sebring

    Worst car ever!! Had so many issues and spent so much money fixing numerous problems that the last time it broke down, I just called a towing company and let them take it for $100. A year later my newlywed daughter drove up our driveway in another Sebring Convertible! And three months later thats exactly where it is waiting to be taken to the shop for repairs. Horrible car. DO NOT buy.

  • dont buy - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Nice car until hit 170,000 miles. Had to drop 2000 dollars into it. Wouldnt start. Had timing belt, coolant flush,New muffler, I dont remember what else. After having a bunch of things fixed, I still have problems with car starting. Takes 3-5 tries before car starts. Mechanic cannot figure out what is causing it. Engine light stays on because of cylindar 1 misfire. All cylinders have been cleaned, and still get that code show up when engine light is on. Car doesnt run different. Was suggested o2 sensors but those are impossible to find. I suggest wording parts for that car at amautopart.com. cheaper! Else where parts for that pos car can be expensive.

  • Still enjoying the ride - 2000 Chrysler Sebring

    I bought this car new in August 2000 and have driven it for 11 years. Thats 11 years on the streets of Chicago -- cold winters, hot summers, wheel-chewing potholes -- you name it, we have it. I hit 100,000 miles at the end of 2006, and now its over 186,000. Took a road-trip to Seattle circa 2008 what a way to travel! The car was totally reliable through about 2008. After that, problems started creeping up, but thats hardly surprising for its age, mileage, and driving conditions. Given a choice, Id buy this car again in a second. Ill be driving it till it stops.

  • Great car for the money. - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The car now has 159,000 miles on it, its really been a gem. Still runs great. Isnt really fast off the line, but has plenty of high end torque, which makes passing maneuvers easy. Many people badmouth Chrysler, but Ive had really good luck with them, this is my 7th chrysler, and one of 6 to go well past the 100,000 mile mark. The only one thats really been problematic is my PT Cruiser GT, but even when its transmission went bad, it still didnt leave me stranded. I drove it to the repair shop. I wish the same could be said of the MINI Cooper I purchased brand new. It left me stranded twice in its first 17,000 miles. Needless to say, I went running back to Chryslers.

  • Worst Car ever - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have never had more problems with one car in my life. It only had 32,000 miles when I purchased it and now only 73,000 3 years later. Constantly in the shop for tie Rods and ends mostly the right side. Also blew freeze plugs and ac out twice, fuel pump went out and left me stranded. Front passenger seat almost threw my passenger thru the window due to cam not matching for seat. You name it and it has happened. I would never recommend anyone buy this car. I also paid only $10,000 and got 3 years extended warranty. I have only 800 miles till it runs out. It is in the shop as we speak. I have acquired gastritis and ulcers from this car and no health insurance cost thousands for med

  • Goodbye Chrylser - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have had nothing but problems with this car since I purchased it. The speed sensor went three times, in addition to other repairs - control arms replacement, door lock attenuator, replaced all the rims (got money back in the Class Action Lawsuit), headlight is foggy (from inside), etc. I have been adamant on keeping up with the maintenance book but have run out of room to write in all the extras that were needed. I am maticulous with the exterior (looks new) but have been battling rust that is coming from the inside of the hood leaching out. Most mechanics do not want to work on Chryslers and the parts (Mopar only) are difficult and expensive. My next car? Something foreign!

  • The best American car Ive had - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This car has done great mileage for me. I drive it in the city. I get 20- 23mpg. Im on my second battery and second set of tires. It has been in the shop only once with something more major -- the starter went and I decided to replace the water pump just in in case. This happens at 85,000 miles. Recently, it has developed a water leak and the AC blower is only working on high, but Im fixing to trade it, anyways. Otherwise, it hasnt had any problems in 8 years!

  • Love of my life - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The joy I get from this car is a first for me from a car. I am amazed by its handling, great gas mileage and lack of need for repair. I will never own any other car. I am getting the E85 next.

  • Poor Workmanship - 2000 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Paid 10k, spent 4 k in repairs over 3 yrs Leaking problem-coolant, transmission, oil Brakes problem: Fixed over and over, still squeaky, bad parts A/C Heating: A/C use shuts down engine in summer. Heat wont work unless you put it on level 4 Reliability: Say a prayer everytime you leave your driveway and hope it doesnt shut down. Overall: With regular maintenance, there is always a minimum $600-1000 cost of repairing something. Went broke with this car, all other bills started being paid late because I put all our money into keeping this car on the road
