Same here. Maybe if I was Ray Charles then I suppose I could see the similarities.

Whoever came up with that slogan "Imported from Detroit" should be hung!

Same here. I think you need to apologize to the Sonata owners. I wouldn't mind a Sonata as a rental (hoping to get one when we go to Disney later this year) but if they stick me with a 200 I'll be irritated.

This would explain why my 200 had assembly line tools left under the rear carpet. LOL.

I'm lovin' all the Chrysler hate. It means I can buy good quality used Chrysler products at bargain prices for years at this rate. Would I buy a NEW Chrysler? Probably not. Drive it for a year and it loses nearly half it's value. That's guaranteed to keep you upside down on payments practically until you pay it off.

Still, after three or four years they are literally half the price of many other similar vehicles. Usually any lemons are weeded out in the first 20K miles, so a Chrysler product coming off lease or traded for new is usually pretty trouble free.

Get a mechanic's inspection.
Insist on service records.
Run a Carfax before purchase.
Pay cash.

No picture no proof, they could more likely be from the dealer, techs leave stuff in the cars from time to time
