Used Chrysler PT Cruiser for Sale

The PT Cruiser is a unique car that fits in with unique people. I know that a lot of people really hated the look of it when it came out, and I was originally one of those people. However, when I came to own one, I realized how biased my opinions were. The interior was clean when I first purchased it, no cracks or dents in the dash, everything included save for the CD player. Over time it's held up exceptionally well and only recently sustained two cracks due to the humid heat that we have in our state. The engine has held up for 118600 miles thus far, and I just got the oil changed about two months ago. It drives smoothly though my particular vehicle has a problem at the back that makes the spare tire rack rattle. It's probably not indicative of the rest of the PT Cruisers, but it's something that occasionally gets on my nerves. My only real complaint about my car is the fact that it's so low to the ground that sometimes if I'm going out of a particularly steep driveway, the black trim underneath the bottom catches the road concrete. This always makes a horrible scraping sound and grates my nerves, but my father, who is my mechanic, has told me that it's harmless. I'm a computer technician, and the fact that I have a hatchback is awesome. I'm easily able to get my equipment into and out of the back, and the upper rack that was provided with the vehicle provides even more space for other things that I can cram in there. The back seat also lets down which lets me store long panduit and conduit if I need to transport.

The car has good gas mileage. With gas costing about $3/gallon, I can fill up the tank for about $30 - $40 and drive to work and run errands without refilling within the week. It runs pretty quiet as well. I have not had to do much maintenance aside from the regular stuff like oil changes and air filter replacements. I have not had to replace or repair any major components such as the transmission since purchasing the vehicle in 2006. It has almost 200,000 miles on it and it stills runs well enough for short trips, but I wouldn't trust it on long trips.

I have owned this PT Cruiser for six years. It performs well in the Florida climate. The air conditioner has never needed service and provides driving comfort. However, while using the A/C, the usage of gasoline is higher. The lift hatch "trunk" area is very practical and spacious. The rear seats fold down for more room if needed. The seating is very comfortable and has worn very well. There is plenty of leg and head room. This cruiser has an automatic transmission, electric door locks and windows with remote entry. Topping off the interior is a moon roof. The exterior of this PT Cruiser has weathered well. The brakes have been replaced once. It has ABS braking system. The styling is not a favorite of mine, but I do like that the bucket seats are not low to the ground. For casual driving, it is great on fuel economy. I have enjoyed this used car and will miss it when it retires. What I absolutely recommend for this vehicle, is the purchase of a sun shade. Having lived in the north, I never encountered the drying and cracking the sunlight and high temperatures have on the dashboard. So, if you don't want to use duck tape to hold pieces together, always use your sunshade to protect the dashboard.
