Used 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser for Sale near Chicago, IL

Since the PT Cruiser has not been made since 2010 it lacks a lot of the newer tech and safety features. On the other hand it is simpler, less potential faults, warnings and etc. It drives fairly big for a small car, the Turbo GT versions have a lot of pep, good passing power, acceleration and such. Base and Touring models are somewhat under-powered. I was able to get mine with a manual transmission and a convertible top it is great for weekend trips and cruises. I like it a lot. Buyers should note due to age you may find needing to spend money on upkeep or at inspection time. Timing belt replacement at 100,000 miles or slightly before especially on low mileage used cars is a necessity and expensive $1100.00 plus and control arms and bushings will need to be replaced if not already done at 50,000 miles or so. Fun to drive, I have found relatively reliable. Retro looks are not for anyone . Lights can be upgraded to LEDs relatively easily. Lots of Facebook groups to find information, suggestions and hand holding. Very happy with my purchase.

It's a pint sized rocket ship. It's flippin amazing. If you want the ultimate in front wheel drive, the 2005 PT Turbo is the car to beat.

With a 0-60 of 7 second and a power top that only takes 10 seconds to put down, this is a very fun and roomy compact convertible. i do wish Chrysler had splurged a little more for the center dash, but with heated leather seats, it is overall an enjoyable car. wish it got better fuel economy though, i only average about 20 mpg

This is a great fun convertible, the turbo charging makes this car a fast nimble toy. Plenty of room for adults in the rear seat and a surprising amount of trunk space although I would suggest leaving the boot at home if you're filling the trunk with luggage.

Cute interior and exterior - you can customize. 138000+ miles still like new. Brakes well, handles well, acceleration little slow bit of a rough ride. Hauls BIG things, mileage is about 25 city, 29 hwy. Some squeaks but easy to fix.
