97+ Sebring Convertible info?
Looking at getting one of these as a daily driver for my gf. Any reliability issues w/them? Any common problems w/these cars?
The ones in her price range have 70k+ miles on them. Any major problems happen at this juncture?

There was one recall made on the Sebring convertible's for 1997. It seemed common..
