1998 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LXi 2.5/V6 from North America
Summary:
I love my car!! I don't regret buying my car one bit!!
Faults:
Front speakers are blown out/distorted at 80,000 miles due to person owning it before me putting aftermarket stuff in it for stereo components.
No matter how many times the wheels are balanced and the car is aligned the car steering wheel shakes/vibrates when stopping from higher speed. That is just simply annoying!
General Comments:
This has been the most dependable car I have owned yet!!
She looks great and runs beautifully!!
Even at a 103,600 miles and 30,000 to 40,000 of them miles I put on alone everything is great!
For the people who are having bad luck with their Sebrings, don't knock them there are always a few out there that were made on a Friday (lol) no, if you are buying a car that has 50,000 miles or more buy an extended warranty they are money savers.
Parts on cars do go bad with miles/age it is normal. Buy an extended warranty that covers a lot of parts with a deductible of like $50.00 you won't regret it. Have had great luck with my Sebring in general. It has over 100,000 miles on it still running like a top! No electrical, fuel, AC or fuel system problems at all.
I LOVE MY 1998 SEBRING LXi!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Top certified working mechanic here: vibrations & steering wheel shake when BRAKING (as in the case above) usually have nothing to do with tires, tire balance or suspension alignment: it's warped brake rotors (usually front rotors). Replacement necessary of both front rotors, or all 4; "turning", machining, or resurfacing brake rotors only makes them thinner, and more prone to warpage... I've had great success with aftermarket brake rotors, sometimes costing as little as $25 each!! jps1158@yahoo.com.
