I am looking for a dependable used car till i get the big buckoo bucks and all that happy shit. An ex of mine has a 96 Chrysler Sebring JXI Convertible. 110,000 miles, V6 , Leather Interior, New tires all around. He is only asking from me 2,000$. I am getting a deal cause he is London's Dad. Can someone please tell me what to look at when I go to look at this car? I trust him but I just want to look myself, but have no clue what to look for.
The only thing that cathces my eye is the mileage. It should only have about 88K NOT 110!
As someone suggested check with the dealer, or see if he has reciepts for oil changes & other preventive mtc. See if you can find out what PM is reccomended. Timing Chain ready to go? VERY pricey replacement.
Air Conditioning Power Steering Power Windows Power Door Locks
Cruise Control AM/FM Stereo Cassette Dual Front Air Bags
ABS (4-Wheel) Leather Power Seat Alloy Wheels

All chrysler 6 and 4 cylinder engines have timing belts. Reccomended change interval is between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. I reccomend change the belt at 60,000 miles.
The V-6 engine that that one has is called an interferrence engine design. That means DO NOT LET THE TIMING BELT BREAK!! Or the pistons WILL hit the heads!!
