FOR SALE: 2007 Chrysler Sebring Touring V6. Silver/gray cloth. One careful owner with 30 different drivers. Not garaged much. Only 4,941 miles. (Not exactly a hot pick from our lot.) Starts reliably since we had a wiring problem fixed, but the wire harness still hangs under dashboard, ready to be kicked by left foot. Radio mysteriously didn't work once. Seats with bowling-ball-like lower back support reminiscent of "posture-correcting" school chairs. So-so handling and ride control. Few high points include stability control, satellite radio (when it works), and heated cloth seats.

Buyer will miss out on minor '08 tweaks to slightly improve some complaints. Good for pretending you have a rental car company. (63 percent of Sebrings sell to fleets, according to Fleet Central.)

Considering the bath we took when we traded in our four-cylinder Sebring, we're not expecting much money for this one. After all, even after the strike, Chrysler has so many Sebrings and Dodge Avengers in inventory that they shut down the Sterling Heights Assembly factory for days to allow supply to dwindle to meet demand, according to The Detroit News (see the sidebar at the link).

$17,000 or best offer. Buyer beware.
