I've been offered a '99 chrysler sebring convertible with 61k. Is this something to look into? Or should I stick with looking for a japanese which is what I have been doing - toyota, mazda, nissan, etc.

I personally like North American made cars due to trying to support my fellow North American workers. But coming from a quality assurance/automotive background the Japanese made cars are of a higher quality standard due to strict manufacturing guidelines that are followed during the manufacturing assembly. If you check this website below though, you can look up any car/truck to see if there are/were any type of recalls with it.
