Used Car of the Day: 2015 Chrysler 200S
No, it's not an April Fool's Day joke in July. Nor am I trolling you. I am featuring this 2015 Chrysler 200S as UCOTD because we rarely see 200s in the database I pull from, and because the 200S was the closest Chrysler got to being able to sniff competitiveness with the Honda Accord and Camry.
It wasn't a bad car, and it was worlds better than the godawful Sebring. But it wasn't nearly what it needed to be.
That said, the 200S was interesting enough that while I wouldn't have chosen to own one, I could see why others did. I enjoyed the car well enough when I drove it, and its looks hold up. The sloping rear roofline is part of why it didn't sell better, though.
This example has front-wheel drive and a bit over 62K miles on the clock. It appears to be well-equipped (Bluetooth, heated front seats, panoramic roof, heated steering wheel, et cetera) and clean, save for curb rash on all four wheels.
Yes this is a departure from our usual mix of rarities, project cars, modified rides, and showroom-ready vehicles. It's a relatively mainstream car in decent shape with low miles and few, if any, mods.
Once in a while, I grab a clean Accord or Camry that's pretty stock. Consider this the same thing, just with Chrysler.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
