PT Cruiser Value

[acmectec2001]

I have a chance to purchase a 2004 Limited turbo with 57,000 miles for $6500. It sounds like a good price to me. Im concerned about the reliability of these vehicles so I thought id ask PT owners. Is it worth it? Are these cars money pits or are the horror stories from the minority of owners? Would you say you have to do an average amount of repairs or is the cargo space made to carry a large tool box? Thanks

Hello. I was reluctant too, but always liked the look of the car. I got mine recently, they are dead cheap in the UK.

Got mine for £800

$1 267.6


It is a wonderful drive.

70,000 miles on the clock, 2001 model.

I have run your data through Canadian Black Book, suggested trade-in price for your car in Canada would be in a range of $4,780 - $5,680.

As for cargo space - it's not huge. After I fold the rear sits and align the back shelf with the sit level (it has three or four positions available I believe), it makes 3 1/2' by 4 1/2' approx. cargo space. It was quite enough for me to carry all the equipment needed for a freelance cameraman. In fact my cargo space has been an object of envy for some of my fellow cameramen.

For elongated objects I fold the passenger sit in the front as well, and it makes one long flat cargo space about 8' in length. That's enough room for cross country skies or 8' lumber pieces.
