Chrysler offers buyers of used cars an interesting selection of sedans, convertibles and even one sport-utility vehicle and one minivan. Although Chrysler shares almost all of its basic vehicle platforms and designs with Dodge, the company is focused more on premium shoppers than is its less stately counterpart. This translates into a generally higher standard of equipment and more conservative exterior styling. Used Chrysler vehicles can be found in the compact, mid-size and full-size segments, although only one automobile inhabits each of those strata. The used Chrysler PT Cruiser, one of the most talked about designs in recent years provides solid used hatchback value, while the equally stylish used Chrysler 300 and 300C are positioned as full-size options that are classier than any others available from domestic automakers. Those interested in something in between in terms of size can opt for a used used Chrysler Sebring convertible, which can be found with a retractable hard top. On the family front, Chrysler’s Town & Country minivan is one of the most fully-featured people movers to have been produced in the last five years, and it offers used buyers many innovations when it comes to cargo and seating management that have been subsequently copied by other car companies. Chrysler’s sole SUV, the Aspen, can be had as a hybrid, making it an alternative fuel-saving choice as a used full-size sport-utility vehicle.Popular Used Chrysler Vehicles Despite only offering a narrow lineup, there are a few used Chrysler cars that stand out; below, we’ll briefly examine the three most popular used Chrysler cars.
• Used Chrysler 300C – When picked up in 300C trim, Chrysler’s flagship sedan provides excellent comfort and astounding power from a Hemi V-8 engine. Introduced in 2005, all 300C’s look and drive practically identical to the current model, making it a smart buy as a used car. • Used Chrysler Town & Country – Available with leather, Stow ‘n Go and a variety of in-van entertainment options, the Town & Country offers great value as a used minivan. A powerful V-6 engine also helps the vehicle boast excellent drivability, even on long highway trips. • Used Chrysler PT Cruiser – In addition to its impossible to ignore retro looks, the PT Cruiser provides excellent interior storage, reasonable fuel mileage and the possibility of a turbocharged engine under the hood for high performance compact car thrills. The PT Cruiser is an excellent used car compromise for those not interested in a vehicle quite as big as a crossover, but who need the space that this tall-roofed wagon can provide.
The Bottom Line On Used Chrysler Vehicles Used Chrysler cars, especially the 300C and the Town & Country allow buyers to get behind the wheel of a near-luxury automobile for far less money than a traditional premium brand. The 300C’s excellent driving dynamics also lands it near the top of the full-size sedan pile in North America.
