This is a hidden gem among convertibles

2013 Chrysler 200 Limited 2dr Convertible (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I just purchased my 2nd '13 Limited hard top conv. It's just IMPOSSIBLE to beat these cars, bang for the buck on the used car market (unless you buy from a dealer, then you'll get reamed).
Man, I can't get enough of these cars! Ample power from the V6. The hardtop is simply an amazing feat of engineering in this price range. My nephew thought I had a Transformer! 😂
In addition, ANY … hard top unit will automatically come fully loaded, that's the spec! 👍
I bought a Dk Blue with 65k mis on it in Oct '18 for $12k. Liked it so much I bought a White one with a small roof leak with 78k mis on it Oct' 19 for a paltry $7k!! These cars are just highly underrated and priced accordingly. Cost only $600 to have dealer replace the seal, and the top is like new now!
(I'm still hoping to get a '14 Gold with low miles to complete my collection!)
I don't drive 4 cyl cars anymore, And I haven't stepped up to full electric because, with my early retirement taking me to Ecuador, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a charger there.
V6 is just too practical for mileage / power combination. I get low 20s MPG in town and 31MPG Hwy. (With this ODB Auto-tuner I recently added(6/2022), it's now getting 33mpg hwy!
I'm just not willing to give up all my power for the extra 3 MPG that a 4 cyl "might" provide.
There is no way to shut off traction control. But I disconnected the brake sending unit and it shut off the traction control... I was just curious.
You don't realize how much power you have under you, with traction control on. I could smoke the wheels off without even trying!
It makes a huge difference with traction control on, it bridles that HP in a safe and satisfying way.
I've put about 15k miles on both cars. Have had no problems at all.
I did replace tires with some Kuhmos from tire rack, I love these tires and they're comparatively cheap too!
My main complaint is the delay in downshifting manually. You tell the car what you want to do and it decides what it will do and when. My Mazda cx-9 sport shifter responds instantaneously, so it's an adjustment.
My other major complaint is that you cannot go even 1MPH and activate the top. I used to be able to motivate the top on my old '03 Sebring up to like 15mph. Very helpful if that stop light is just a bit too short for full activation. I suppose it is because the back half of the car opens up when moving the top, which might allow your belongings to fly away at even low speed. My old Sebring soft top was dysjuncted from the actual trunk space.
A minor thing, cruise control sometimes will not turn on.. In either car, so I assume this is a computer function or malfunction(or a short in the button). Sometimes, it eventually responds and other times I have to restart the car.
It did take 3 weeks for the dealer to get the main roof seal (maybe due to Wuhan flu shutdown, I'm not sure) .
They decided to replace a window track as well which only took a week to get.
The thing about this hard top is that I couldn't find any Bodyshop or convertible shop in Richmond, Va OR JAX, FL that would touch it, so you're going to be stuck with the dealer handling any hard top Issues. On the bright side, Whitten did a heckuva nice job on it.
Of course, it's the same with any Mercedes or BMW as well. At least I didn't invest $50k+, So I don't mind a little upkeep when it happens.
I'm 6'2", but I find this car very comfortable to drive and ride in. I LOOOVE the 'Uge trunk on the convertible. Whenever I open it with top up, bystanders always comment about how 'uge it is! 😂
Trunk is also extremely useful with the top down! Still big enough for 4 bags and 3-4 inches of storage under the folded top. I did some reaearch before buying the 2nd one and I couldn't find ANY convertible with this much trunk space for any price. It's so nice that it is such a practical car.
The Bluetooth is a bit clunky but I'm getting used to it. Just have to make sure all my future phone upgrades have a headphone jack as a backup, which is becoming harder to do. The sound system in the Limited is definitely worthy of a convertible. I can't even consider turning it up loud without the top down.
I also still prefer my TomTom over the built-in GPS (and especially the expensive map updates!), but buying used, I didn't pay extra for that feature anyway.
I almost hate to tell people how good of a deal these cars are on the used mkt. I might want to snag a few more for my family.
Update 1 (2022): on the hi mileage unit (90k), I've replaced an ABS sensor . On the lower mileage unit (79k), which is stored a lot, I'm replacing an O2 sensor. You'd never guess an OEM Denso O2 sensor is $37, easily accessible and just a twist of the wrench, when the dealer asks $595 to fix it. Plus $150 diagnostic! Also there is an intermittent ABS sensor fault on the lo mileage unit as well.
Still love both cars exceedingly!
