Car was acquired from a relative that was trading it in on a new car last fall, and I offered more than the dealer did for it. I have just cleaned it up and decided to sell it in the spring - I own several collector and hot rod style cars and this does not really fit in. I have not driven it very much, but it seems to be in pretty decent driving condition. From what I can tell everything seems to work OK - top goes down, radio sounds good, drives around the neighborhood nicely. Tires have perhaps 50-60% life left. Should be a cute little cruiser for a second car or for a newer driver. Its pretty cool being a convertible - and should still be easy on gas since it's a 4 cylinder. It has aftermarket aluminum alloy wheels, and is missing one of the wheel centers - visible in the photos and probably easy to get. The reserve price is rational, and just in there to protect from low ball prices if I screw up the listing... I can cut & paste some generic stuff below...not really specific to this particular one but gives you some background on PT Cruisers... With retro-styling inspired by the 1930s panel vans that were later converted to surf wagons and hot rods, the front-wheel drive 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser mixes classic styling cues with modern fuel efficiency and convenience. The versatile seat arrangement in the PT Cruiser wagon allows for more rear space than most vehicles its size, and the back seats can either fold forward or be removed completely for expanded cargo space and to accommodate objects up to eight feet long. The convertible model, with its power-retractable soft top, also bows to those who want a little more practicality in an open-air car. The top is insulated for a quieter interior, there is a small back seat, and the trunk is reasonably roomy. The PT Cruiser wagon is available in three trim levels--base, Touring, and Limited. The convertible is only available in base trim. A 150-horsepower, 2.4L four-cylinder engine is standard on the base and Touring models, while the 180-horsepower, turbocharged 2.4L engine comes standard in the Limited and is optional in the Touring. A five-speed manual is available on the base only, while a four-speed automatic is the transmission of choice in both Touring and Limited models. It is an option on the base. The entry-level model has power locks and windows and rides on 15-inch steel wheels. Front air bags are standard on all 2005 PT Cruiser wagons. The 2005 PT Cruiser convertible is outfitted much the same as the base wagon, though it gets power mirrors and driver's seat, air conditioning, 16-inch wheels, and the special cloth seating of the Touring model.
