If you’re looking for a clean, low-mileage convertible that screams early-2000s Mopar charm, this 2000 Chrysler Sebring JXi might just be the one. Listed without reserve on BringATrailer.com, this final-year first-gen Sebring drop-top is finished in Inferno Red Metallic and shows just a hair under 40,000 original miles on the odometer.
The Chrysler Sebring nameplate replaced the aging LeBaron lineup in the mid-’90s, with the convertible launching in 1996. Unlike the coupe, which was Mitsubishi-based, the Sebring convertible rode on Chrysler’s JA platform shared with the Cirrus sedan. Chrysler even marketed both the Cirrus and Sebring convertible in Europe as the Stratus—and interestingly, this model was built in Mexico, just like all first-generation Sebring convertibles.
This particular 2000 JXi is a top-trim example, coming equipped with a 2.5-liter 6G73 V6 rated at 168 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transaxle. The engine bay appears well-preserved, and the battery was replaced under previous ownership.
On the outside, the car wears its factory Inferno Red Metallic (paint code PEL) nicely, paired with a power-operated black soft top. Fog lights, body-colored moldings, and polished exhaust tips give it that extra pop. It rides on original 16-inch cast-aluminum wheels wrapped in older 215/55 Michelin Premier A/S tires, and the touring suspension setup gives it a smoother ride than you might expect from a car of this vintage.
Inside, it’s all about early-2000s luxury. The Agate leather seats still look plush, with woodgrain trim across the dash and doors. Amenities include a power driver’s seat, CD/cassette stereo, Infinity sound system, air conditioning, cruise control, and power everything. Only flaw noted? The left sun visor fabric is torn—an easy fix.
The digital odometer confirms the low 40k mileage, and everything from the multifunction steering wheel to the classic Chrysler gauges appears in great shape. Best of all, the Carfax report is clean—no accidents or damage have been reported—and the car remains true to its Ohio roots, having been registered there since new.
With just two days left, this no-reserve auction ends Thursday, July 3 at 3:44 p.m. EDT. If you’ve ever wanted a nostalgic Mopar convertible that won’t break the bank, now’s your shot. Check out the full listing on BringATrailer.com.
