The 2003 Chrysler Sebring: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Chrysler Sebring for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 2003 Chrysler Sebring before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, suspension and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.19 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the Sebring
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sebring answers the big questions. A test week in the Sebring tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
