The 2008 Chrysler Sebring for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Chrysler Sebring for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2008 Chrysler Sebring, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 352 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
Its powertrain is the 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 10.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 30 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $155. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Sebring
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Sebring for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Sebring for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
