2010 Chrysler Sebring Limited. 2.6L V6 auto, leather, sunroof and power everything. She got it for stupid cheap because it was on the dealer’s lot for a year and they wanted it gone.

This is my ride while I line up funds and wait for Forest’s engine transplant.

Bonus pic of Forest being loaded on the flat bed.

The Sebrings of that vintage aren’t great cars, but I’ve never thought they were TERRIBLE. Cheap and plasticky, yes, but a family friend has one and it’s done over 100,000 so far with no issues other than the usual maintenance stuff....if you want something point A to point B, I think they are OK?

How’s her experience been?

How do I stop being sad, and stop having anxiety attacks?

I think the saving grace of this car was its availability as a convertible.

Pretty sure there is no 2.6L available in 2010?

2.7L or 3.5L.

She loves it so far. It’s super comfy and she’s had no issues.

Good engines when taken care of. Owned a few of them over the years.

Seems pretty good to me so far.

A different family friend also has a Sebring-based Chrysler 200 in that most-people-hate-it-but-I-really-like-it-especially-when-the-light-hits-it metallic brown. :)

That’s a pretty nice brown.
