FS: winter/gas mileage car in WI SOLD
1999 Plymouth Breeze
2.0L 4cyl 5-speed manual
A/C, cruise, PS, PL, PW, Factory CD, keyless entry, alarm
*I've always got 25+mpg even in city. 35+ on highway.
*Adult owned. My in-laws purchased it new, used it to travel all over-it was to California last year. I'm the 2nd owner.
*NEVER smoked in
*new snow tires Yokahama Ice Guards, low miles on them-you can see the nubs in the pic. Rear tires also new snow tires, I forgotten the brand. I got these from discounttire direct, they ran out of the other brand. This thing is great in the snow...pretty much unstoppable w these tires!
*Runs/drives great.
*new front brakes
*new battery
*newer tie rod ends
*just had the water pump, timing belt and head gasket replaced. They checked the head and bottom end-didn't need service!
-Most of the high mileage problem pieces replace already.
This car has 161,500 miles on it. Mostly due to the long trips my inlwas took it on.
The BAD
-dent in rear passenger door (pic)
-small rust spot (a little bigger than a quarter) behind rear driver's side door (pic)
-inside trunk popper-lever-thing doesn't work, however, the key does
-uses small amount of oil (~1 quart per 3,000 miles) always has-Chrysler refused to fix, said it was "within tolerance". Doesn't leave spots, or smoke.
Mods:
*deleted trim and emblems! (it doesn't say Breeze any-where-any-moore - not the manliest car name)
*sweet steering wheel cover!
Seriously, this car is very nice. It would be hard to find similar condition in this price range. I purchased it as a winter car for last winter, and ended up keeping it through the summer(lots easier to haul car seats than the Z28). I'm only selling it now because I purchased a truck.
1st $1500 takes it.

I take it two rear facing child seats will fit? I am looking to buy a gas miser, I have a nice AWD Safari Van but it's a damn gas hog and I drive 50 miles a day for work. How far is Janesville from Lockport/Joilet. I am about 10 min from RT66 Raceway. This would fit my needs very well.

Mapquest says 2 hours(117 miles). I race at autobahn country club in joliet, it is a little less than 2 hours there.
2 rear facers? You have twins? I ran 2 car seats, but my boys are 2 and 4, so never put a rear facing in this car. I think they would fit though, assuming you don't set the seat back too far.
I may be able to work out meeting 1/2 way or something. I'm not worried about the car disapointing you, I've disclosed every flaw.

No not twins, although I guess it could happen my wife is pregnat with our second right now and our first just turned a year. Thinking about it, I guess I would only have one rear facer. Anyways, I would be up for checking it out, hopefully I will have some money this week. The trouble I have right now is my time off is really wierd this time of year. My next day off is Thanksgiving day and then I have the following sunday off (one week from today). Maybe we can do somthing then. If it sells first I understand.
