- SOLD Offered for sale is this absolute time capsule, a 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser with only one prior owner and 3K miles - 3K is not a misprint, 3464 to be exact. This car was purchased for an elderly woman who rarely drove it, and spent most of its time in climate controlled storage, but being driven regularly enough to keep it fresh. This is almost certainly the best preserved PT in the country, and looks, drives, and smells new. The Surf Blue Metallic paint is still gleaming, and the slate cloth inside is as it was the day it left the factory. The car comes with a book set, 2 remote keys, and the original window sticker. If you are looking for a clean PT, I would wager you'll find none better than this! SOLD SOLD

Cash for Clunkers killed a lot of innocent classic cars...
I always thought that!

No doubt there were some diamonds in the rough, but most were heaps. Those that looked good likely had hidden damage. The dealer was interested in using mine as a standard trade until I mentioned it was frame damaged and impossible to align to factory specs. Rightfully to the junk yard it went.
If anything was truly nice, the trade in value would have been higher that what the C2C program offered.
Turbo 5 speed manual GT's with leather were really decent cars!
I have a 2009 pt cruiser and I love it!!!! I’ve hauled so much in it but the turn radius is the worst. But I have the touring model with all the bells and whistles. I have the cargo shelf and cargo net for the back. I have power everything.
I rode in 2 of these and lived to tell about it!
I love the honesty. Not praising a car just to sell but saying how you feel about it.
Just like the Prowler i have so many conflicted feelings about the PT Cruiser..
Hopefully whoever buys this takes care of it.
I once drove one of these things from Nevada to California. I've never driven a vehicle that didn't have a single redeeming feature before or since. If it was up to me they would all be crushed into cubes and turned into dog food cans. I am not bitter.
Ralph Hardwick couldn’t imagine a worse car to take for that drive, I’m used to taking big Long Lexus sedans from Woodland Hills to Vegas.
I have one and just love it sorry PT cruiser haters....I now have a new car but decided to keep mine which is in excellent condition...maybe will be become a classic corrector some day 🤣
Bravo... I think I saved a bundle buying the world's smallest SUV, as it is rated in my state as an SUV. I moved things and never had to dead weight from the trunk.
Mine still runs, gets 27.5 mph on hwy, and overall about 22 mpg, no turbo.
The title sounds like something Regular Car Reviews would write
Used to own one. Drove the crap out of it in college. The poor thing had 192,000 miles on it when I sold it for $500 haha. Never gave me any trouble though. I kept it for college because I didn’t want to drive my nice car and get it beat up in the parking lots. Still had the original engine and tranny in it and still started and ran like a trooper. Ugly as sin and terribly uncomfortable, but it never let me down when I jumped in and started it up.
You ever feel like the seat doesnt line up with the pedals? I an learning to drive and feel like I'm at an angle to drive comfortably
It's true this car has no redeeming qualities... except, it's an irreplaceable part of automotive history. These were once everywhere. Now they're nowhere. 3400 miles turns back the clock to 2009. What would *you pay* to be ten years younger? Put it in a museum just to relive for a moment, our collective past.
I have a 2004 Touring Edition and it’s been wonderful, people shit on these cars all the time, I’ve seen theses cars out last brand new bmws, audi, and other big “expensive” cars
Just got a 2008 Red touring signature edition this week! Very clean...loaded! only $3500.
roger sowers mine was A 04 Touring Edition, I sold it a few weeks ago for really cheap I paid $1000 for it
I love finding these old videos, seeing the kinda crap Marty forced Bill to suffer through. Glad that Bill is doing AutoHaus material again, with the occasional gem from Uncle Johhny! 👌
5:33 There supposed be a cargo cover for those slots, that can be either placed at high or low position, and also can take some weight (used as a shelf). Looks like it's missing in this car :)
I really feel it would’ve been cool if they made this a Plymouth. It was by no means a luxury car, and Plymouth needed all the brand identity it could get back around the turn of the millennium. They should’ve emphasized an S-R/T 4 or S-R/T 6 turbocharged hot hatchback version with a 6-speed manual transmission and an all wheel drive system.
This car was originally meant to be a Plymouth PT originally was supposed to stand for Plymouth truck until Plymouth went under FYI
fuzzzymaine2 Plymouth didn’t go under. More like Chrysler took a shovel to it.
Keep it and preserve it!!!!
Did it still smell like a brand new car???
Wonder how much you sold it for. By 2009, Chrysler was winding down PT production, and only 17,000 PTs were sold that year. I have a 2008 turbo model that has over 120,000 miles.... a real blast to drive and very reliable...
I have a 2005 stick with 52 k. I love it. I don't know if I have a car van suv or truck but it doesn't matter.
12:21 The seats look like a Kirby Vacuum Bag but it is nice.
I owned a 2005 pt gruiser gt convertible for 6 years or so...got lots of compliments on its styling. Nice 17"chrome rims and the turbo 4banger. I loved it, but stuff started tearing up at 11k miles! Wheel bearings and engine mounts and weird electrical glitches with the top.
Had an 06 drop top GT with the 5 speed manual. Believe me. I got it at 90k something miles. Definitely wasn’t up to being trouble free. 8 months later, A/C AND turbo went out. That was it for me, especially since I live in Tampa. Top also didn’t operate correctly. Gotta love Mercedes-provided hydraulic pumps.
I loved that car when it worked. Didn’t totally love me though!
Well said, equivalent of the Macarena describes it perfectly.
Bill, God bless you for selling an ultra low mileage, bright blue PT Cruiser base. I love this overview/review haha. Honestly that PT is a great car and will be for someone. I get to look at a Daimler-Chrysler love child tomorrow, a Crossfire. Looks like a turd at 165k miles. It's an '04 manual coupe in black. Going to look at it and if all checks out I'll offer him $1800 and I max out at $2200. My plan is to clean it up and list it for I don't know 3k? Hell I'll ask $3995 and have it sit in the driveway forever till I find someone for it. If the guy wants anymore for it he can go to hell.
It took me forever to get used to the engine noise! I had it checked by 3 mechanics when I got it Lol... I grew up on V8s so this was noisy to me, you know?
You should review that s type
PT. physical therapy cruiser?
Können Sie empfehlen Medikamente für Furz und Durchfall? Ich Furz wie eine große Trompete. Vollen Klang, wie ein Kaiser Furz. Mein Durchfall fließt wie ein Fluss!
I had a friend who had one of these.. she hit black ice on the freeway.. wasn't a high speed crash at all.. the thing basically disintegrated around her.. she had her belt on.. but she is jacked up still now with permanent back and foot injuries. I've seen soda cans that looked better. And I'm willing to bet there's a lot of these still around.. in scrap yards.
I always thought they looked like fun.
Put a Mercedes or BMW emblem on the hood and people would be knocking themselves out trying to own one. And no, I never owned or rode in one.
Amazingly, this was sold in RHD form in the UK, and there may be 3-5,000 of them still registered. Strange what the Yanks think will get them back into the UK market. Pity the Plymouth Prowler never made it to RHD. Great video as always.
Hey we Yanks could be cousins. Watch out for those who left for the "New World" they made a great pick. Both my mom and dad have lineage in Great Britain.
The rear shelf is missing unfortunately. The thing could be placed in multiple positions including a tailgating position that put the tray half way outside the car. Kind of a bummer that it's missing, but now that I think about it its completely useless anyway.
Bought mine without it. Costs 100 online used.
i would kill for that car my dream
Well made,,, a pt cruiser hhmmm, I beg to differ
History. The integration between Fiat and Chrysler dates back to 2009 after Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on 30 April 2009. On 10 June 2009, Chrysler emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings with the United Auto Workers pension fund, Fiat, and the U.S. and Canadian governments as principal owners.
Hey 👋 billy boy!.
Hermoso BRILLANTE. ❤
It looks like an early low light Morris Minor.
Looks like a car from the 1940s
Bill that was hilarious thank you you had me laughing through your whole description. I used to have one of those cars I really loved it it was a stick not automatic. Thanks for the laugh and making this video.
Burn it! Dear God!
Okay so its not fast. Those are some miles thats for sure.. light window tint, some factory alloy wheels. Boom. Its a blue carrrr!
It has become fashionable to hate the PT Cruiser and for really no discernible reason. I have bought a few over the years, beginning with a new 2007 base manual that my wife drove for three years, a 2003 dressed up (leather, sunroof, etc) high-mileage automatic that a daughter had as a first car and drove for three years, and most recently a 2004 GT Turbo that another daughter is currently driving. While never purporting to be sporty, they are extremely practical vehicles that can accommodate four adults in comfort, can cruise for long trips at a steady 120 km/h, are nimble in the corners, start without a block heater on -30C Alberta mornings, and have the capacity to carry all sorts of sizeable cargo. This Richard Hammond review comparing a PT to a VW Beetle more or less nails it: ua-cam.com/video/m6TusVFmr2E/v-deo.html
my boyfriend has a super beat up 2001 black PT Cruiser that he bought for $200 from his uncle. the dashboard is destroyed from the sun (it’s literally in pieces), the paint on the hood is fucked, and there’s cigarette burns on the seats. he has enough money to get a new car but says his “stallion” gets him from point a to point b. 😐 i don’t know why people love these shitboxes so much. the interior is like a cheap chinese toy car.
When I dance they call me Macarena
And the boys they say que soy buena
They all want me
They can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me
Chant with me
And if you're good, I'll take you home with me
Funny....Another Plymouth that was hated so much, unlike the PT Cruiser dealers couldn't give them away. Today regularly sales for over $200,000 plus....Plymonth Superbird.
I had an 04 GT with turbo. It was well made and fun to drive. Then Chrysler ruined the interior with hard plastics and terrible fabrics.
Bro doesn't use his turn signal....
I remember the late 90's hype around these. I sent away for a brochure and Chrysler sent me PT branded "credit card multi tool". I was all set on getting one until they were actually released and disappointing.
Cash for Clunkers was freaking awesome, btw. I needed a reliable car so bad at the time and it got me there. Still driving the '09 and saving a lot of gas. The government does something for the little guy and all the other little guys lose their minds...
Compact nine......
Dame-ler is English, Dime-lur is Chrysler...
I liked these at first and then I drove one.... Not my cup of tea ( Earl Grey ).
7:40 wtf is he saying there lol
If I could support Chryslers through picketing I would. Such an innocent car with a harmless appearance in this society, only the people with the most wretchful hearts would destroy something so cute and ink
innovative as the PT and GT Cruiser. These cars were not invented to bring the worst out in people, they were simply invented to be loved and cherished by people who know how to treat them well. I wish the hate could stop, there's nothing as small and cute looking as these cars and I would do anything to keep their history and existence in this world so everyone can remember these mistreated cars. Destroying these cars is like destroying money in the cheapest and most disgusting way possible just for people to give out entertainment. There are better ways to get entertainment with that money you used to buy these Chryslers than destroying what they're worth. I will help these cars be remembered and exist before they are all destroyed and they are never able to be made again. In my righteous hand I vow to take care of these cars and make them burdenless!
G DAMN ABSOLUTELY LOVE this review . BILL trying VERY HARD to find something good to say about this DISASTER of a car
Anyone saying anything positive about this car didn't own one or drive one for an extended period of time. In all the cars I've owned and my wife owned and my sister owned lol, a 2001 PT Cruiser with roughly 40,000 miles was by far the worst of them all. At approximately 102,000 miles we had replaced the motor, transmission and multiple other components. I had to chuckle when Bill said it was a well built car, he's never owned one. This car was not fast, the seats were not comfortable on trips anything over 1/2 hour, it was loud and as spacious as they look on the outside, even though they're tall it felt quite cramped in there, I also hear that their safety wasn't very good either and for it being a small car (which I think was classified as a truck?) no 4wd it got horrible mileage. One of the dumbest or almost comical designs of this car to me was the battery started going dead if it sat for a while, thought it needed a new battery even though it was replaced not that long before this started happening. I happened to notice she got home one day and went in the house and I was sitting in the back yard and noticed the fog lights were on, only the fog lights, so I shut them off but it was strange as I'd never seen a car where the fog lights would turn on without headlights or parking lights. It's also worth noting all the lights were controlled with the turn signal stalk somehow. I mentioned this to her and told her not to use them until we could figure out what was going on. For the next week or so it was fine. Then it started happening again and she tried hanging something on the turn signal stalk when she would leave it and that did work for a while. Long story short something in the turn signal stalk went bad and would allow the fog lights to come on anytime on their own. Horrible design in my opinion.
Funny thing is for a car last built 12 years ago I rarely see one anymore. Cash for clunkers was a disaster but the one good thing is it took car of a lot of PT Cruisers.
Title should have been, this PT cruiser is the automotive equivalent of the shit I just did
Just don't care for these besides the outside look. The inside just look cheap and look as if it was built in the Lego factory. Love the reviews, helps narrow down the search without having to crawl in and out of many for text drive and got of needs.
I wish it had the fake wood paneling option just to make it that much more dreadful and hideous, HAHA!!
Keep it as a museum piece. Things unsafe and unpleasant.
Well made car?!?!?!?!?!?!?...lol...BILL...is it the salesman in you that just cannot bring himself to denegrate something he needs to sell that nade you say that?..This was a huge POS from the get-go! It ran superbly for the first 71 feet before it reached its reliability limit anf its transmission would take it no further....IF you could get it to start to begin with.
...a "Well made car"...tsktsktsk...Billy.....so sad.
My boyfriend has an 01 and I absolutely hate the Cruiser was one of the worst cars ever made🙄very very poor crash test ratings and even worse build quality and the engine...tuhhhh I suggest anyone who has one get rid of that money pit now but as bad as they I will say my bf’s is holding strong still but not a good long term vehicle
The ugliest car in history. Does deserve to be in a museum.
That's why i bought a pt cruiser gt turbo it a ugly fast car that smokes some good looking car 😆.
