We just looked at a used sebring convertible. seems to be in fantastic shape and the price is fair. Runs very smooth, everything works, shifts great, low rust for the area (central NY - salt)

Any big hitters to look for on this car?

Poking around it looks like the timing belt should be replaced at 90K and this has 93K. Is this something we should take to a dealer and get done in the next 6 months? any rough estimates on a real price for this?

thank you for the help!!!!!!

 

humm being that's its a limited i can only assume that its a 2.7 v6 and well they are chain driven not belt driven.

 

glad someone knows their stuff

MSN auto lists a possible failure of the timing chain and guides. Is this something we should be concerned about? Is there service that can be done to minimize the chances of this?

Overall from a reliability perspective is there anything big to worry about? Car is at 93K right now. Not worried about wear and tear stuff (brakes, suspension, tie rods etc)

thanks for the help!

 

replace the water pump and timing chain ans guides around 160
