Vehicle Description
2002 Chrysler Sebring LXi Convertible
Seven trim levels were available on the second generation Chrysler
Sebring along with four powertrains, and four different
transmissions. In addition, a coupe, sedan and convertible were
offered. Between the three generations, they were sold between 1995
and 2010 and were consistently good sellers in the mid size
category and even offered in European and Canadian market
versions.
For consignment, a 2002 Chrysler Sebring LXi convertible, well
loved and well driven, this soft top is ready for summer and daily
driving duty far beyond top down weather.
Exterior
Onyx Green covers the sleek body with a rounded nose that sets the
black grille below the centerline and flush rear tail light
hovering just below the flat trunk lid and just above the rear
bumper cover which wraps high into the rear fender. An integrated
door guard covers the door and rear quarter panel and the steeply
raked windshield is rimmed in a black frame. The tan canvas top is
in usable condition, however there is some hazing to the rear
plastic window. Other imperfections include clear coat peeling on
the trunk, scrapes and scuffs, some heavy on the front bumper cover
and chin, several bubbling rust spots, missing paint and rust on a
wheel opening, curb rash on several of the 16-inch wheels, a small
tear on the canvas top, and a dent where the top meets the
surrounding black frame.
Interior
Tan door panels include a faux wood applique along with a large
safety light and speaker, all in decent condition. The well
appointed LXi trim includes tan leather seats, and the front
buckets include integrated seat belt mounts since no B-pillar
exists. The front seats are a bit discolored and torn in some
places while the rear 2+2 seats are intact but have some need for
deep cleaning. A standard steering wheel has thumb controls and
leads to a simple gauge cluster of four circles and a digital
display encased in a plastic dash. Easy climate controls are in the
center along with an aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio, all embedded in
faux wood panels. The shifter is in the plastic housing the center
console that includes two cup holders, an armrest, and parking
brake. Low pile tan carpet shows a bit of age but is not heavily
stained. Gray flannel panels line the trunk which shows usage but
is in fine condition.
Drivetrain
Driver quality but clean under the hood, we find the 2.7 liter DOHC
V6 rated at 200 horsepower, fuel injected and tied to an A604
4-speed automatic transmission keeping the spin to the front wheels
where it meets 3.91 gears. Power disc brakes are equipped front and
rear.
Undercarriage
Decent mileage has left its mark in the form of surface rust on the
gas tank straps, the single exhaust, on wheel and steering
components, and on the sway bar. Otherwise, a relatively clean and
flat underside. Oil is noted on the oil pan. MacPherson strut
suspension is utilized on the car in the front and the back.
Drive-Ability
This well loved car runs and drives and provides ultimate
visibility with the top down and great ergonomics in the cabin. It
has adequate power, decent handling, and good brakes. On our
checklist of items needing attention include the air conditioning,
which is not working, the top goes down but needs some manual help
to get it back up, there's a scraping noise in the front right
while driving, and the rear tires are dry rotted and need immediate
replacement. The front tires are date coded mid 2019.
This high mileage Chrysler, named for a racetrack in Florida, still
has some love to give. There's nothing quite like a midsize
convertible to grab the family and head out for a summer drive and
this old girl is up for the task! After 22 years on the road, this
still has the ability to make its occupants look cool!
