Love It, Just Too Small. By corydale79

If we could fit our family in it, and tow a camper, we'd keep it. Now in the market for SUV or Minivan for our family camping trips. Would absolutely buy another Chrysler though. Anyone have a Town an... Read More

Instant Market Value

A used 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Base has an average retail price of $6,801 and 85,300 miles.

12 GREAT DEALS are available with average savings of $2,142 below market price

The Chrysler PT Cruiser Base, or Standard, model is unchanged for 2005. A new convertible version is now offered, at a $3000 increase in price

Standard features on this trim include power windows, 15-inch steel wheels, a CD audio system, tilt wheel, air conditioning, and intermittent wipers. The Base convertible receives several additional features.

This model is powered by the modest 2.4 liter DOHC inline four, which generates 150 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is mated to this power plant, and drivers can expect 22/29 mpg fuel economy.

The most common complaint for this model is aimed at the low gas mileage. Owners and reviewers agree that mixed driving fuel economy in the low 20s is not really acceptable for a compact car. It is also worth noting the the two more powerful engines don't cause a major decrease in fuel efficiency.

This overview covers the Base trim only.
