If you remember the early 2000s, there’s no way you missed the Chrysler PT Cruiser. When it hit the streets in 2001, it was a big deal. Chrysler leaned hard into the retro styling trend, and people ate it up. Dealers were marking them up by as much as $10,000 over MSRP just to keep up with demand. But while the hype eventually cooled off, the PT Cruiser stuck around for a solid decade, offering up affordable practicality with funky styling.

Now, one of the cleanest examples we’ve seen in a while is up for grabs on BringATrailer.com—a 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser LX hatchback with just over 11,540 original miles and a 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat, this one-owner example is offered at no reserve and comes with a clean Carfax and clean Pennsylvania title.

Under the hood, it’s got the reliable 2.4-liter (EDZ) inline-four-cylinder, factory rated at 150 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle—perfect for folks who still love to row their own gears.

The PT sits on factory 15-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Hankook tires dated 2023. While the wheels show some age-related imperfections, the tires are fresh. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums, just like back in the day.

Inside, it’s classic PT Cruiser with Pastel Slate Gray cloth upholstery, patterned seat inserts, and body-colored dashboard accents. Other features include air conditioning, a CD stereo, power windows, and all the quirky charm you’d expect from this throwback compact. The gauge cluster includes a 120-mph speedo, 8k-rpm tach, and a digital odometer reading just over 11,540 miles.
