I know its not a Stratus, but my ex-gf is considering a V6 5 speed Sebring. Its a 02 with 56k miles, white w/2 tone black/grey interior and they want 10k for it.

I know its mostly a Mitsu drivetrain, but is there anything out of the ordinary to look out for on these cars? I figured that since it is a manual that removes the crappy Chrysler fwd automatic from the equation, but I've never owned a Chrysler so I dont know the quirks. Thanks guys appreciate any advice.

 

its literally IS a mitsubishi, for instance, my RT is a eclipse GT with a different body and wheel.. although i didnt think that the sebrings came in manual....but anyway...

aside from clutches, i havent heard of any real issues...and there are some guys with stock trannies (with built clutches and half shafts) running 300+ whp, and ive seen one that was over 400 whp

 

I dont think the Sebrings come in a manual. The only one's I've ever seen are AutoSticks.

Otherwise it's a decent car. I've got a Stratus that's basically the same color/interior as that Sebring. Pearl white with two tone grey/black interior.

I paid 14k for mine. But it only had 42K on it and was certified pre-owned with GAP insurance and a warranty. Also came with the Etch security done to it.

Good luck with the car!

 

damn...i would have sold you mine for that, with the custom exhaust, cai, and trim work.

 

Yes, but you wouldnt have given me the 12k for the truck I owed 10,700 on.

 

yes they did come with a manual tranny. heres a link to one.

That's a Convertible model which has a different platform, different engine, etc. than the coupe model. However, the coupe does have a manual. Look it up.

 

almost every mitsu drive train with the exception of the expo (80's) & 3rd generation mirage (late 80's early 90's) drive train are very reliable. Take it from a mitsubishi man that they are well built and can take alot of punishment

 

what do you drive longisland?

 

okay last 3 cars ( yea i have no luck)
1991 eagle talon tsi-blown motor
1989 mirage sport-truck backed into it & insurance said it was totaled
