#369 of 409 Need suggestion by srikp Aug 04, 2008 (4:47 pm)
I am contemplating buying a used 2001 Sebring Convertible LXi.   The positive:   1. As per the seller, the car has done only 59K miles 2. The seller seems genuine and has openly admitted to what is/was wrong and whether or not she has fixed it 3. She is willing to share the receipts and is open to anyone getting their own mechanic to inspect the car (could work both ways - you play with the psychology of the person or you are confident that the car will pass inspection) 4. Willing to sell for $4500 (much less than KBB price of $8000+)   The negatives:   1. The car has had 2 owners 2. As per carfax report, the car was involved in an accident and quotes structural damage. The seller has admitted that the dealer she bought it from did tell her about the accident but said it was repaired and re-certified to factory standards 3. The car requires 2 new rear tires 4. And the BIG ONE:   a. As per carfax, the last odometer reading in May 2007 was 64K miles b. As per seller, the odometer reading now is 59K miles c. She says the dealer who send the update to carfax must have sent 54K instead of 64K and it was entered incorrectly   So I would like your advise....is this a good deal or what?

2003 Sebring convertible. Front passenger seat (non-electric) is jammed as far back as possible. Pulling up the release bar at the front of the seat doesn't help. How can I release it? Replies to this message: urbanaguy (Aug 30, 2008 7:21 am)

#373 of 409 car cover. by mumble88 Sep 16, 2008 (1:52 pm)
I got a chrysler 300C and i was just wondering if the cover will damage my paint by any chance. Becuz I got myself a new cover for my car from carscover.com and just worried that it might scratch my paint and i really don't want to see that happen to my car.

Replying to: bogie01 (Feb 23, 2008 2:21 pm) I am new to forums and new to this one. The reason for mounting resistors close to the circuit board is to draw heat away from the resistor using the circuit board to dissipate the heat. It is not a good idea with ceramic resistors (which tend to run fairly hot) and not with cheap circuit boards. The combination is trouble with a capital T. Your fix seems sound as long as the resistor doesn't end up near plastic.

Replying to: ohldepharte (Sep 29, 2005 8:35 am) I know that you posted in 2005 but I am faced with the same problem now. What was the fix? If there is a reservour, where is it and did your system just need a good burp?

Replying to: mlcryslr (Jun 15, 2005 9:55 am) I have a 1998 Sebring Convertible who's top is not coming up without help. The dealer say's the fluid has leaked out and to replace the pumps and motor (which are still working). Have you received any replies to your problem. Is there a way to fill the system without replacing ? Thanks Ron Replies to this message: isaachernandez (Oct 16, 2008 11:34 am) isaachernandez (Oct 19, 2008 12:50 pm)

Replying to: hartinger (Oct 14, 2008 7:43 pm) Ron, I have not received any replies. I just checked the fluid level at the pump in my car and it looks plenty full. I was thinking that a place that specializes in hydraulics might have a better way to burp the system and/or find leaks. The reservoir may not be higher up than the rest of the system. Before getting too involved, I lubricated all the joints with a spray lubricant. My personal choice was white grease. It worked for a few months then the problem came back. In my 2002 the motor/reservoir is behind the rear seat. The seat bottom pulls straight up from the front and easily pulls forward and out. The rear is easily pulled up and out after removing the two nuts (17mm) that hold the seat belt/lower bracket plate in the center of the backrest on the floor. I also removed the two bolts (T50) that secure the seat belts to the floor at each end. I will keep you posted. Isaac Replies to this message: isaachernandez (Oct 19, 2008 12:50 pm)
