Well Guys, my ownership of the 05 PT was short lived, to say the least. It seems that nobody around here is willing to work on or fix the a/c on it, so the mayor called me yesterday and asked if I'd be interested in the 05 PT Cruiser GT with the 2.4 turbo. He PROMISED it has icy a/c and actually has 7,000 miles less than the PT. So, the wife and I went and checked it out. It does indeed have some very nice a/c along with the auto stick, am/fm/cd/cassette player, nav system and sunroof. It also has nice chrome wheels with newer tires. The paint has some typical clear coat peel and fading here and there, but at this point in time, I really don't care. And I can actually access all of the spark plugs without having to remove the intake plenum! How about that? I drove it for about half an hour and really like the way it runs. It handles pretty much like the other one as far as the ride goes, but I THINK it was a little better through the curves. Anyway, the bottom line is that now instead of the naturally aspirated one, I have a 2005 PT GT! Gotta call the insurance agent and have them swap the insurance over and see how much difference it'll make in my premium, but I'm hoping it won't be too bad as I'll be 59 years old in two months. Anyway, we're packing, so I'll be posting pics in a couple of weeks. It's a shame that nobody around here is willing to work on the a/c on the other one, as it's really a nice little whip. I guess the mayor will be stuck with it all summer and have to wait until the fall to sell it!
