Summary

You are bidding on a 1994 Chrysler Concorde. It has been priced low with no reserve, in other words, it's priced to move! The vehicle was purchased used by my father in 2005 (I believe he was the second owner). It has been in our family ever since.  

The the car was used as a daily driver until the Fall of 2013, when my brother upgraded to a more fuel-efficient vehicle with lower miles.  It has been a good car for our family, so bid now and make it a good car for yours!

My policy when selling is to be as honest as possible, so the buyer knows exactly what is being purchased. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

With over 209,000 miles on a 20 year-old vehicle, a share of mechanical/cosmetic issues is not to be unexpected. Please consult the abbreviated list below, and read on for further details (on issues with asterisks).

- Cruise control works intermittently (~50% of the time)

- Power adjust driver's seat only works partially

The Ugly

Details

*This problem has only occurred since we parked the vehicle last Fall (after my brother upgraded vehicles). When he was driving it daily it did not have any problems starting. Once jump started, the car will run, however, the battery is getting old and there is visible corrosion, which leads us to believe it may need to be replaced. 

**This has been the largest issue with the car. At idle, it runs roughly and occasionally dies. It never left my brother stranded (it would start again after one or two tries). However, it was a bit of an inconvenience, especially with city driving.  It also occasionally runs roughly while accelerating up to 40-50 MPH, then starts to smooth out at highway speeds. This has been an intermittent issue over the last 12 months or so. Basically, it runs roughly at times, smoothly at others.  Perhaps this is a fuel delivery issue?  We have not had this problem looked into, since the car is getting up there in years, and it still did a good job of taking my brother where he needed to go. 

***The check engine light is mostly likely the result of the aforementioned problems with the car running roughly. The ABS light is more of a mystery. We are not sure what is wrong. The car tends to brake a bit hard, although effectively. As mentioned, it has new-er pads and rotors, so perhaps the problem is with the ABS?

****This has not been a major issue, at least not enough to cause significant tire wear or cause other alignment issues.  

Again I would like to state that I've been as honest as possible in describing this vehicle.  Any omission of problems/defects is purely accidental. Again, if you have any questions, contact me and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. 

Warranty

This car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with no warranty.

Marchionne to take his sweater and go home after 2018

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

The end is in sight for Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne, who confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg that once FCA's sweeping five-year plan is completed, he'd be stepping down from his post to "undoubtedly" do something else that didn't involve turning around global corporations. That would mean he should finish up after 2018 if all goes according to plan.
"It's as important to walk away from the table as it is to sit down," Marchionne told Bloomberg.
Marchionne has been at Fiat since June of 2004 and is one of the chief architects behind the Italian company's acquisition of Chrysler. Despite his successes, he does sound quite ready to move beyond the auto industry, rhetorically asking his Bloomberg interviewers if there "are other things I like to do apart from this?"

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.

Chrysler's Hurricane engine detailed ahead of 2016 launch

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

We've been hearing distant rumblings about Chrysler's new Hurricane engine for some time now, but details have been hard to come by. Now, Automotive News is adding some specifics to the scuttlebutt, citing Chrysler documents. According to the industry publication, the Hurricane will blow onto the scene in 2016, but it's not an all-new engine. Rather, it will be rooted in the company's existing 2.0-liter four-cylinder Tigershark powerplant (shown above), albeit with "many new technologies to achieve excellent fuel economy."
It's not clear what sort of technologies Chrysler is referring to, but the Hurricane is expected to continue to use an aluminum block, and the finished product is expected to generate even better figures than the existing 2.0-liter's 160 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (as found in the Dodge Dart). Automotive News notes that the updated 2.4-liter Tigershark debuting in the entry-level 2014 Jeep Cherokee has its basis in the 2.0-liter lump, but unlike the smaller engine, it's been fitted with MultiAir2 electrohydraulic variable valve timing to realize 184 hp and 171 lb-ft and greater efficiency.
Perhaps the Hurricane will incorporate the latter in its bag of tricks? Either way, we're hoping for a more generous torque curve than the what's in the current 2.0-liter Tigershark, which is something of a slug in the Dart - even for a base economy compact.
