2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser

When I first saw these I was like many people "One day I will have this car" Well, just bought mine with only 66 miles and has most every option including the option to make many repairs! After driving it for only a few days, noticed terrible front end noises. After down sizing from a mini can with a few more toys than the cruiser and a solid ride, I thought I was being too critical..Ha! Drove Cruiser only 20 more miles and could not stand the front end noise and shaking of steering wheel. Come to find out; both left and right front end needed much work, worn rubber bushings, wheel bearings needed replacement, power steering leaking fluid and transmission hose leaking fluid. The entire front under carriage was soaked and the poor car was bleeding to death. With only 66,000 miles I did not think such serious issues should be happening but they are and more...very poor quality front end construction. Too much too late. After my investigation it seems to be one of the weak points of this car. Tire, brakes and all issues about front end of this car are a endless money pit. Great looks, room and overall eye-candy it what seems to be the best feature of these. I do not believe the prior owner took very good car of my car and due to noted weak points, like constant front end issues, it makes for high cost to keep up with repairs. I am glad mine is the Limited Edition and I would say if buying one used, make sure to get one with all the options! Resale is bad and if previous owner was hard on car you will be stuck. This car can not take abuse and I would not say it is a tough car. I love the looks and comfort of car for sure! So my take on this is: MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE WITH ALL THE GOODIES AND MAKE SURE YOU LOVE IT BECAUSE CHANCES OF COSTLY REPAIRS IS HIGHER THAT MOST." To love it is to fix it, to hate it is to make it a junk and who needs that? As for me and mine: "CURRENTLY I LOVE IT AND WILL ENJOY IT AS LONG AS I CAN"

i bid on and won the auction for a pt cruiser. to-date i have not been able to get the seller to sell me that vehicle. ebay is giving me the run-around. no help there what-so-ever. i feel my experience with ebay is less than crappy. they have not done anything to help me to resolve the issue. nothing. i opened a dispute and closed it back out 14 days later after i got no response from the seller. yet i still have no resolve. it just gets worse from there.
