They certainly don't hold together very well.

How can you tell that pile of mess is a PT and not a runaway Toyota?:banana::btddhorse:

Was it a total....



Sadly though someone was critcal or died in that one...

the pt cruiser was one of the first retro attempt in the past decade.

imo, it was a nice look but grew old and it is still a chrysler.



bud,

the difference is that if it was a smashed up toyota it still would hold a better residual then a ford :bwahaha:

It is because people need parts to fix them.

ABS and airbags didn't work in a wreck my mom had in her 2003 Camry. She was advised to sue, but didn't want to deal with it. The damage didn't look too terrible, but I guess the parts and labor to fix it were more than the value so it was totaled. I think the Honda Accord she replaced it with was a major upgrade.



On topic, though, good riddance to the PT Cruiser. My grandparents bought one a couple years ago because they wanted something they could pay cash for. It's a terrible vehicle in every aspect, imo. They love it, though.

I always loved the look of the PT Cruiser but would never, ever buy Chrysler product after the problems I had with them in the past.

 

[Bill V]

TomT, ditto on the PTC's look. If they had been somewhat bigger, with both the mass and the engine to be able to reasonably tow a boat, I likely would have owned one in their early years.

Chrysler's biggest problem w/ this car was not putting an option for a V6 IMO.
