Ive kept my upkeep on it up to date. Bought with 98k miles 5 years ago. Now has over 265k and its still going strong. Comfortable, and appealing, its a dream to drive!
Great car for the money.

The car now has 159,000 miles on it, it's really been a gem. Still runs great. Isn't really fast off the line, but has plenty of high end torque, which makes passing maneuvers easy. Many people badmouth Chrysler, but I've had really good luck with them, this is my 7th chrysler, and one of 6 to go well past the 100,000 mile mark. The only one that's really been problematic is my PT Cruiser GT, but even when it's transmission went bad, it still didn't leave me stranded. I drove it to the repair shop. I wish the same could be said of the MINI Cooper I purchased brand new. It left me stranded twice in it's first 17,000 miles. Needless to say, I went running back to Chryslers.

I bought this car new in August 2000 and have driven it for 11 years. That's 11 years on the streets of Chicago -- cold winters, hot summers, wheel-chewing potholes -- you name it, we have it. I hit 100,000 miles at the end of 2006, and now it's over 186,000. Took a road-trip to Seattle circa 2008; what a way to travel! The car was totally reliable through about 2008. After that, problems started creeping up, but that's hardly surprising for its age, mileage, and driving conditions. Given a choice, I'd buy this car again in a second. I'll be driving it till it stops.

2000 chysler sebring jxi This car was a program car. It had 17,000 miles on it when I got it. The only thing I have had to do is replace the tires,oil change (synthetic oil), brakes battery a/c and belt. No tune needed yet. I don't think that is too bad for 132,000 miles and getting 33 miles per gallon @ 60 mph / 26.3 miles per gallon @ 79.5 mph and it is running strong. Thank you Chysler

I've always wanted a Sebring convertible since the first time I test drove one in 2000. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to afford one - till now. I was quite impressed with the deal I got at Gladstone Dodge and I love this car. The LXI Limited convertible is sporty, responsive, stylish and classy. Everyone who sees this car is quite impressed with the interior and exterior.

One of the three most enjoyable cars I've had in over 40 years of driving. Looks great. Bought it with about 50,000 miles and now have about 145,000. Has been very reliable. Fun to drive. The only improvement I would make is more comfortable cushions on the front seats. I'm looking for a newer one with low miles.
Great looking, nice riding, very reliable

Over the years I've heard and read some pretty negative things about this car. All I can say from my own experience was that I put almost 200,000 miles on mine in just less than 6 years. It endured a very long hard work commute in New York and I had the top down probably 200 days per year every year. It never had a mechanical failure of any kind and the paint/cloth top fit and finish on it looked perfect when I traded it in for a 2005, so the wheels had some expected corrosion. I really should have kept it. It was never garaged and I have to admit that I ran it through the car wash many times in addition to hand washing. Never in a shop except for wear items. The only negative thing I can think of is that with the standard all-weather tires it definitely was not good in inclement winter weather.
The best American car I've had

This car has done great mileage for me. I drive it in the city. I get 20- 23mpg. I'm on my second battery and second set of tires. It has been in the shop only once with something more major -- the starter went and I decided to replace the water pump just in in case. This happens at 85,000 miles. Recently, it has developed a water leak and the AC blower is only working on high, but I'm fixing to trade it, anyways. Otherwise, it hasn't had any problems in 8 years!

Since the day I first got this car I have had nothing but trouble with it . I had a horrible oil leak ,Then blew a seal , I learned later that these cars are know for this to happen because they have cheap gaskets. I now have a horrible Transmission leak and the suspension is now crap. I will never purchase a Chrysler again.

My transmission went out at 50,000. There was such a waiting list for chrysler transmission, that I would have had to wait for 10 months to get one. The Dodge dealership even told me there shoudl have been a recall on the transmission. I've had many brake problems, and my tires, which are brand new, already need replaced. Everytime I take it in for an oil change they suggest I flush my transmission fluid...everytime. When I wash my car, the water leaks through the seals TERRIBLY. I take great time to properly take care of my seals too.
Nothing but FUN!!!

This is my first convertible and I am very happy with it. I have 70000 miles on it and it looks as good as when it was new. Very few problems with the car, all were minor. Still no leaks. The trunk is great for a convertible and the back seats actually are comfortable. I keep thinking about a new car, but can't bring myself to get rid of it. On the downside, it could use a few more horses, but the car is very reliable. The top is still in great sheape. It still turns heads!

I have been looking for a convertible for a couple of years now... I'm no fast buyer. After alot of research I found the Sebring to be the best overall value taking into consideration purchase price, fuel costs, and INSURANCE. It is much cheaper than a mustang. So do your homework like I did and Run don't walk to get your sebring.
I love it but.........

I've had several things happen...thank goodness they were under warranty. Fuel sending switch went leaving me stranded with an empty tank although I thought I had 1/4 tank. Auto trans selenoid was leaking and had to be replaced and the defogger contact popped off. If I keep the car I foresee an extended warranty in my future.
Wonderful car!

This is truly a wonderful car! It's extremely comfortable, reliable, and great looking to boot! It's ride is smooth and controlled. I think the interior materials could look a little better, but they do their job, and that's what counts. It's steering is great, easy to drive. It may not be the most powerful car out there, but it has plenty of power on tap. The interior could be quieter, because even for a convertible it's somewhat noisy. But with the top down, wind buffeting is minimal. Conversation is kept at normal tone, even on the interstate doing 75 mph. Hands down..magnificent car.
Hated to give it up

From the inside feeling like the old firebird of the late 70's to the peppiness of the acceleration. This has been easily my favorite car to date. The pity is that the top cost so much to replace that I could just buy another whole car for the price. I reluctantly sold it but will cherish the memories.

I had a few bugs that had to be worked out when I first bought the car. Thank goodness it was under warranty. I have had numerous problems with the rear defroster...the wire connectors keep coming undone. The top leaks, but the car is six years old now. I also had a problem with the transmission at 16,000 miles, but it was fixed quickly under warranty. All in all...you can't find a better convertible for the price.

Hawaii was the perfect place for me to buy this car and I loved every minute of it! Although I live in Washington now and it isnt as fun, I look forward for days to put that top down. I have received compliments on how good it looks since the day I bought it. I will get rid of my SUV way before I get rid of my Sebring! The only problems I have had are changing the battery (behind the front tire) and replacing the alarm.

Worst car ever!! Had so many issues and spent so much money fixing numerous problems that the last time it broke down, I just called a towing company and let them take it for $100. A year later my newlywed daughter drove up our driveway in another Sebring Convertible! And three months later that's exactly where it is waiting to be taken to the shop for repairs. Horrible car. DO NOT buy.

Paid 10k, spent 4 k in repairs over 3 yrs Leaking problem-coolant, transmission, oil Brakes problem: Fixed over and over, still squeaky, bad parts A/C Heating: A/C use shuts down engine in summer. Heat won't work unless you put it on level 4 Reliability: Say a prayer everytime you leave your driveway and hope it doesn't shut down. Overall: With regular maintenance, there is always a minimum $600-1000 cost of repairing something. Went broke with this car, all other bills started being paid late because I put all our money into keeping this car on the road
Great car

I have 112,000 miles on my Sebring. I have had nothing major go wrong. I do take great care of it and follow all the manufacturers recommendations. When I bought it, I was hesitant to pay the price for a new car but it turns out that the car was worth it. I will probably put on another 100,000 miles

Bought new 3 Years ago. Good not great car. Great value for the price-fun top down experience. Handling so-so, cowl shake sometimes too pronounced and irritating. Needs more HP for the quick get aways. Cupholders, interior storage could be better. Reliability so far Ok, with some electrical issues and engine surging at around 30 degrees, high humidity. 5 Star service also so-so. Luke warm on another Chrysler purchase.
Still love this car!

Was reading some other reviews and thought I'd put my two cents' worth in: Bought my Sebring new in May, 2000, and for the first 3 years only had put about 33,000 miles on it, using it every day but for a mostly local lifestyle. Then I moved about 20 months ago and have been commuting about 100 miles a day since then. My mileage is up to 73000+, and the car is holding up just great! I still love the exterior body style and stance of the car; the original top is in perfect condition; the car never has leaked; and has needed NO repairs beyond routine maintenance except for having to replace the front brake rotors, which warped due to my putting brake dust shields on the wheels.

This car has been an absolute joy to own until recently. The car has performed flawlessly until it hit 90k miles. Engine has enough pep to propel me in and out of tight spots including taking my bass boat to the lake. However, when the car hits 90K the durability factor goes out the window. Plan on a trade in of about 4k or spend the same in keeping it running. AC alone will cost me $2K to repair.

I bought my 2000 Sebring JXI new. The vehicle is now 6 years old and has 84,000 miles on it. I am very particular, changed the oil and filters religously. The car looks and runs like it just came off the showroom floor. I have changed the brakes and rotors, battery, serviced the trans and cooling system, basic maintenance you expect to keep a car purring. The only problem I had was the sensor on the trans failed which was under warranty. The wires connecting the rear defroster failed several times, so I gave up on that. The sun visor clips broke several times, no big deal inexpensive items to replace and change out easily. The sound system is excellent for stock. Love my car. I recommend.

The car has been reliable, but, at 36,070 miles,an injector goes bad and the dealer won't even look at it under warranty. Ride and comfort and noise and weather buffering are excellent, Roomy convertible. Small V6 gets you there just fine. My wife looks good in it.

With the Sebring, has anybody had a problem with the doors pulling off (falling)? The LeBaron's doors were too heavy for the frame and tended to fall. What about oil seals? The convertible top leaks...pretty much a given, eh? Electonic sensors (transmission)? Steering rack?

I absolutely love getting compliments from people, just the other day a lady of at least 70 years said nice car kid! Anyways, this car is no Mustang GT, but it is very fun to drive. The engine sounds great, and it handles the back roads in my area like a pro! Awesome car and I plan on keeping it for a long time

I have had a pretty good experience so far with this car. I have over 70000 miles on it and it is still going. The acceleration could be better. When the engine is cold, it takes a while to get going in the morning. I love driving it with the top down. When the top is up, it seems kind of little inside. I am a little clausterphobic anyway. The one thing I don't understandis...where is the ashtray? I don't understand. I have never had a non-smoking car before...ha ha ha.

Very poor construction and the quality of parts is bad. Brakes fell apart at 30K. I mean the rotors virtually fell apart. Tranny went at 50K. The car eats tires which is a sign of poor components.

This has to be the most fun car I have ever had. It’s stylish & attractive, roomy interior, enough room for 4 full size adults! Great sound system. Top is simple to operate, can be done by 1 female with no problems. Surprisingly quiet ride. Quick and peppy. Great gas mileage. It's very comfortable and fun to drive. We've had a little problem with tire and brake wear and when seemingly small things go wrong, they are quite expensive to repair; seems you can't just fix the broken part, you have to buy the whole assemblies, like the wheel bearing at 50K and A/C at 60K. My dealership service has been EXCELLENT.

Went to buy a pickup in 2001 and drove home in this convertible. Moving to Houston that year it became my beach buggy as we'd drive to Galveston on weekends with the top down and had a ball. It had 23000 miles originally and now only 122000 in 2018 . . . you can figure the miles driven each year. Someday I'll part with it but it will make me sad.

I have spent more on rental cars than car payments this year. Kept it 16-17 months and had to eat about 3k in neg. eq. to get out of it. Every part of he computer system has broken down, bad wiring, trans, problems, you name it and not even at 36k yet. Paid for a worthless extended waranty from Chrysler that for some reason never covers a problem it has. DO NOT buy this car if you don't have a second car.

It's a head-turner. Everyone remarks at the good looks. It's a smooth riding, relatively quiet (for a convertible), comfortable car. Air conditioning is a bit weak to start but gains cool as it goes. Nice features, easy ergonomics.

Eventhough my '00 sebring conv. is getting older, I cant bring myself to trade it in. I have driven mercedes, BMW's, and camaros...none of them make me as content as my sebring. Everything in the interior is perfectly placed. The outside is eye catching, especially the chrome wheels. The two-toned leather is a very rare feature on any vehicle. The interior looks just as sharp as the exterior when the top is down. While a beamer or benz would be much more impressive, I am going to drive my sebring until it wont run anymore.
it is a pimping car
