Summary

You are bidding on a 1994 Chrysler Concorde. It has been priced low with no reserve, in other words, it's priced to move! The vehicle was purchased used by my father in 2005 (I believe he was the second owner). It has been in our family ever since.  

The the car was used as a daily driver until the Fall of 2013, when my brother upgraded to a more fuel-efficient vehicle with lower miles.  It has been a good car for our family, so bid now and make it a good car for yours!

My policy when selling is to be as honest as possible, so the buyer knows exactly what is being purchased. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

With over 209,000 miles on a 20 year-old vehicle, a share of mechanical/cosmetic issues is not to be unexpected. Please consult the abbreviated list below, and read on for further details (on issues with asterisks).

Details

*This problem has only occurred since we parked the vehicle last Fall (after my brother upgraded vehicles). When he was driving it daily it did not have any problems starting. Once jump started, the car will run, however, the battery is getting old and there is visible corrosion, which leads us to believe it may need to be replaced. 

**This has been the largest issue with the car. At idle, it runs roughly and occasionally dies. It never left my brother stranded (it would start again after one or two tries). However, it was a bit of an inconvenience, especially with city driving.  It also occasionally runs roughly while accelerating up to 40-50 MPH, then starts to smooth out at highway speeds. This has been an intermittent issue over the last 12 months or so. Basically, it runs roughly at times, smoothly at others.  Perhaps this is a fuel delivery issue?  We have not had this problem looked into, since the car is getting up there in years, and it still did a good job of taking my brother where he needed to go. 

***The check engine light is mostly likely the result of the aforementioned problems with the car running roughly. The ABS light is more of a mystery. We are not sure what is wrong. The car tends to brake a bit hard, although effectively. As mentioned, it has new-er pads and rotors, so perhaps the problem is with the ABS?

****This has not been a major issue, at least not enough to cause significant tire wear or cause other alignment issues.  

Again I would like to state that I've been as honest as possible in describing this vehicle.  Any omission of problems/defects is purely accidental. Again, if you have any questions, contact me and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. 

Warranty

This car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with no warranty. 

Purchase/Pick Up Information

The payment will be cash only, paid in full at the time of pickup.

Delivery is not available for this car; it is available by pickup only. Pickup shall take place within 14 days of sale. Please contact me to arrange details.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

This forgotten Chrysler was its bid for Humvee contract

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Today, the Humvee might be as associated with the dead automotive brand from General Motors as it is with the hard-working truck that has long served as one of the backbone vehicles of America's military. But Autoline host John McElroy is showing off a practically unknown part of the model's story by digging out some old photos from his personal archive.
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle project, better known today as the Humvee, can be traced back to a US Department of Defense request for bids to build a new military truck. According to McElroy, he was invited to the Chrysler proving grounds in 1981 to check out the bid from the brand's defense division. The company's concept was that it might be able to build an inexpensive, capable vehicle by using off-the-shelf parts.
The angular body panels gave the truck a look almost like a modern, stealth vehicle. However, the flat look was actually just to make the tooling as cheap as possible to produce. Still, this Chrysler looked surprisingly futuristic for the early '80s. It's actually not too far away from the famous Lamborghini LM002, itself intended as a possible military-spec machine.
