I can see why you fell in love - it's a beautiful car. I've always wanted a convertible, but it seems so impractical.

If you can afford it, get it. You can always dump it later if it turns out to be a PITA.

My mechanics had neons for head gaskets and my trans guy was booked solid for weeks in advance. Hardly seen a 3.0 come in for work though and most I have come in contact with had well over 100K+ but had 3 transmissions installed during that time. Hell my wife before we got married bought a 97 neon. During the 4 years she had it we had 5 transmissions and the head gaskets done on it and a rear main seal all in under 55K miles.

So if you just have to have it set aside money for sure on trans repaires/replace because you will need it.

This is exactly what the friend told the b/f. Head gaskets and transmissions. I guess i was just hoping that all this stuff pertains to the older cars and stuff that was after 2000 would have been better.

I will not die if I do not get this car. I mean, I have no problem with what I drive now. $24.00 to fill the tank, excellent gas mileage and $600. per year in insurance. But... might be a girl thing... there is something about this car that looks pretty to me. And when I saw this one, I went ..WooHoo.. but if it suck, i wont bother with it. I dont need a car at all...

kinda just like something I really like became available at a reasonable price and was right in front of me. If it were a good car, I would have it tomorrow. If not, then I will not stress it.

nah... dont like the way they look. I know, I know... they look the almost the same...

but... again, it might be a girl thing... ALMOST the same is NOT the same.

edit: this is the car I want. a Sebring Limited Convertible. If it is a good car, I will get it. If it is a crap car, I wont. But I wont get something like it... cause i would just not get anything.

Saying all Chrysler products suck because the early Sebrings (not sure about the newer ones) had a ton of products would be like me saying all girls suck and since you are a girl, you suck as well.

I don't know one person who has bought a Chrysler in the past few years that is having signficant problems.

Karen, what you should do instead of asking a whole bunch of people who like to make up answers, is go to a Sebring or Chrysler forum and ask this question. Those people might actually know. :)

It's just not worth it, unless you only care about looks and have money to blow.

Otherwise, there are more reliable automobiles.

I vote for the new pontiac as well, or the saturn, as much as it pains me to say it, and we should see them on the market in a little while I believe.
I cant remember the name of the pontiac, but the saturn is named "Sky"
those cars are hawt.

Sebring seems to granny-carish to me. Same with the t-bird...

I am 42yrs old. ;)

And I would never buy a new car. I would not spend the $$$ for something that is brand new. I like them 3-5 years old.

In that case, get a FIERO!

Uh.. she said 3-5 years old, not 23-25 years old. :p

Hahaha!! i have no intention on paying that price. The friend of the b/f has already said that it was approx. $1,000 off. And he should know, as he has been selling cars forever.
But having said that... in my area... the cost is something more like $14,326. and $15,537 if certified.
