ahhh NO, but good luck with sale!

 

Not sure how to respond to that. It's a common problem for the S and everyone knows that. There are better places to chime in on that topic than in my FS thread. This car runs strong and is well taken care of.

 

Nice looking Sebring. I'm in the market for an 06+ and have several questions:

- What brand is the replacement soft-top?
- What is that shroud over the brake booster?
- What size/brand tire on the JLB 286 wheels and how many miles on those tires?
- Were the fenders rolled to accommodate those wheels/tires/offsets?
- Do you still have the factory wheels?
- If so, how much could you reduce the asking price if you kept the JLB 286 wheels?
- Does "upgraded stereo system" include new door speakers or anything other than the new head unit?
- Any other modifications you're aware of?

Thanks for your time.

James,

- I was told when I purchased the car that the top is a OEM replacement put on by the first owner before selling. When I purchased the car I visually inspected it for any tears, wear spots, etc. and found nothing. Since buying the car I have been using 303 UV protector and it has kept it in great shape. It has no tears or wear spots to this day.

- the shroud is GP fab.

- The tires are Nankang Ultra Sport NS-II summer radials. Front: 225x40x18 Rear: 255x35x18 I don't know how many miles are on the tires since I bought them with the wheels slightly used. I would estimate that the tires have 40% life left.

- I did have the fenders rolled by SOS as a precaution but I didn't need to get them rolled for the wheels. The offsets are 50+ all around. They look flush but fit great. I have always run the factory alignment with these wheels.

- Unfortunately I don't have the factory wheels. If you were able to find a set of factory wheels or aftermarket wheels that you would want to put on the car we could talk about a reduction in price.

- "upgraded stereo system" simply means that the head unit was put in and fitted with the ipod/iphone adapter that plays and charges the device. No speakers were changed.

- There are a few other small modifications on the car.
1)the arm rest and shift boot where in bad shape when I received the car. I replaced both of them with alcantra pieces.
2)extended floor mats
3)aftermarket heat shield, puddymod mount, and NRG ETD
I bought the ETD because I had read that it can take stress off of the drive train. However, after doing more research, I also read that it can have the opposite effect. I decided that I would install the pieces since I had them on hand but when i installed I didn't move the engine to create "tension" on the ETD. It's basically there for looks. Also, the puddymod mount is a little different from the mounting hardware that it normally comes with. With the puddymod mount you don't need to break off any tabs on the fuse box.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info. I'm still shopping several options, but your car is pretty high on the list. If you haven't sold in the next couple months, and I haven't found anything better, we'll definitely talk.

 

No worries man. Happy to answer any questions. Hopefully it will sell sooner than a few months but I guess you never know. In the meantime, small price drop to make it a little more tempting.

$16,500.00

 

Very clean car. Buy with confidence people. I am pretty sure the top was replaced by honda with an OEM top.

 

This is my daily so updating the mileage to where it stands today. 74,000
