Summary

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2003 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2003: VIN 1C8FYN8943T642998, production year 2003, mileage 195k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $3,000. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $3,275 to $6,050 with a median of $4,500, and this offer is below the market: 33% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

Insight: The price is abnormally low — a higher risk of hidden problems.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 4, transfers — 2, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 11.08.2026. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: Many owners (4) — frequent resales usually have a reason. The plate was changed 1 time — such changes can split the history into separate episodes.
