We refused to buy it unless all the things were fixed and they did. As for gas mileage mine is terrible! I feel as if everytime I turn around I have to fill it up. I even had our mechanic check to make sure we were not leaking gas! That is how bad it is. Good luck finding something!!lmlafleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255609904430261216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-42032175664850114072011-10-26T13:41:48.335-04:002011-10-26T13:41:48.335-04:00NO Chryslers!!!

I had a Chrysler sebring that had similar problems as well. My friend had a 97 Sebring and told me everything that went wrong and sure enough my 2004 version had the same problems at the same mileage. Jeeps sound to be the same. That company really needs to work on quality!Kashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654276911677134739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-10974985363077972832011-10-26T10:34:33.997-04:002011-10-26T10:34:33.997-04:00I know this is frustrating, but go with your gut. ...I know this is frustrating, but go with your gut. You are getting too much advice now. All of it good concerned advice, but you don't need all of us telling you what to do and then adding that to the stress.

I got my car that way. You have to be flexible with features and colors but it sounds like you are. <br /><br />Also, and you may have already done this, figure out a few vehicles that fit your needs, and then go car shopping. I would suggest you check out consumer reports (you can probably check out magazines from your library) and online forums to research vehicles that fit your needs and then look at autotrader.com and edmunds.com for vehicles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-40143893103037006232011-10-26T09:48:14.185-04:002011-10-26T09:48:14.185-04:00From what I understand, the internet specials are ...From what I understand, the internet specials are just a gag to get you interested, then they try to sell you a more expensive model. Don't discount bigger name lots. Many times, their used inventory is decent and it is not always too expensive. Often with some warranty.<br /><br />Jeep is known for mechanical issues (I have one, I know), but then again, any vehicle is really, including foreign ones.<br /><br />Looking for a car is a time-consuming task.
