Question 1
Bought a 02 sebring about 2 1/2 months ago now needs a new engine what action can i take against the dealer?...  I bought the car cash as is no warranties but it hasn't even been 90 days yet

Answers
1)   Not much you can do unless you can prove the engine was bad when you bought it - Dave87gn

2)   The dealer is not responsible for anything and there is nothing you can make them do. You bought the car "as-is." If the car did not come with a written warranty of any kind, your current issue is not the dealer's problem. That is the risk you take in buying a used car.

My only advice to you is to go to www.car-part.com to see if there is a used motor in your area. Check to see if any of them offer a warranty on the motor as a lot of salvage yards will. - Kenny

3)   file a claim before the 90 days are up just in case there is a possibility of action. - JimT

4)   Any reasonable person would naturally expect that an engine will last more than 90 days. Unfortunately, I can only assume that this engine didn't have any symptoms or other indication of the impending failure during this time......so I must ask.....how could the dealer have known that it would fail 3 months down the road? - LeAnne

5)   You bought the car as is. That means that you have to pay for any and all repairs, and the dealer will not.

Even if the car had a warranty, it would have most likely have been for 30 days or 1000 miles, so you would not be covered after 2 1/2 months.

Sorry - fire4511

6)   Only the first 30 days,sorry but nothing you can do. - Carman Nguyen

7)   Sorry Miesha. I know it sucks but it happens. And most dealers are'nt out to screw you, they probably had no idea either.
Best of luck! - Dave

8)   what kind of warranty did you get how long was it for ,most used car dealers only offer 6o day warranties you there may not be much you can do . - Delmer S

Question 3
Can 6 people fit in a chrysler 300?...  The reviews on the car says 5 people, but some can fit 6.

Answers
1)   No. It can comfortably fit 4 adults....5 people can be squeezed in there, but 6 is out of the question and illegal. There are not enough seat belts to support 6 people. - Kenny

2)   No they can't. It seats 4 adults comfortably. - Sustagurl2

3)   2 in front of course

but 4 in the back will be a little packed
there is alot of room in that car but its comfortable for 3 people in the back
you can fit 4 a little uncomfy

a coupe can fit 4

but ive seen people pull of 5 before - Telly

4)   You can fit 5 people, two in the front, and three in the backseat. The backseat console can fold into the seat. The car is a full size luxury sedan so three people can fit pretty good in the back, especially with the 300c's comfy leather seats :) - Stage B

Question 4
have a 99 concorde and i think the timing chain is out.?...  was told a while back that the catalytic con was bad then the other day was going about 10mph and there was a noise under the hood and the car died and wouldnt restart my friend unhooked the exaust system to see if the cat con was the problem and it didnt start how do i know if its the timing chain i can get the kit for 170 and the gasket kit for 80 should i try it.
my friend said it must be the timing chain but could find out that there is a valve bent when he digs into it also said he might need special tools to fix trying to figure out the best way to adress this without getting a different engine.
there were no error codes on the scanner

Answers
1)   Check the ign timing if way off it could be the timing chain or belt has jumped time and worn - Robert F

2)   if it has a distributor cap then put number 1 piston all the way up and look at the rotor under the cap. if it did,nt break or slipped then it should be pointing to number 1 plug wire. - bandit_60

3)   timing chains last longer than the car. Look elsewhere for the problem. NEVER replace any part 'till you KNOW the problem - tronary

4)   If it's a 2.7, it will be a huge task. If it's a 3.2 or 3.5, it has a timing belt. Less troublesome. - done wrenching

Question 5
1993 New Yorker, locking hubcaps?...  Okay so my car has these lock thing on the hubcaps so they can't be stolen and I don't have a key for it---I inherted the car from my Granny when she passed away, well i blew a tire and my Dad had to pry of the cap with screwdriver so I put on the spare, when i bought a new tire the guy at the tire store said they don't make them anymore....does anyone know where i could find one?

Answers
1)   Try a junkyard. You may have to go in and pull one off yourself. - thebrock1584

2)   Salvage yard is probably your best option.They most probably run into that more than you think. - XTL Bowflex

3)   Good question, the local Chrysler dealer only my be able to hook you up or you can try e-bay, And some of the older mechanics at a Dodge or Chrysler dealer may have a few lying around in their tool boxes, but dont expect them to loan it to you, first bring in the lock nut your dad pryed off to see if they got the right one and then you will need to bring in the whole car, There are about 10 or 12 different keys
And last but not least try you snap-on or matco dealer they may still carry them - rick b

4)   Your best bet is remove all the locking nuts and install standard hex nuts. The locks were an anti-theft device which probably worked but wire wheel covers were not stolen that often and I think locknut use was eliminated.

I had a set on a Dynasty parts car that gave them to a friend of mine for his Dynasty and I used a punch and hammer tor remove all four nuts. They did look good on his car. - Don't know everything !
