Pros

  • S trim adds sport suspension and paddle shifters
  • Photographs clean in red
  • Roomy, comfortable highway sedan

Cons

  • $6,975 exceeds Edmunds clean dealer retail ($6,234) at 140,830 miles
  • A 140,000-mile 200 Limited comp listed at $5,950
  • The 2.4L + 9-speed automatic combo is known for rough shifting and reliability complaints

Analysis

The 2015 Chrysler 200 S looks the part — the red paint and sport trim photograph well. But $6,975 at 140,830 miles is over Edmunds clean dealer retail of $6,234, and a 140,000-mile 2015 200 Limited comp listed at $5,950, a full grand less.

Mechanical reality bites harder: the 2.4L Tigershark with the ZF 9-speed automatic is one of the most complained-about powertrains of the decade — harsh shifts, hesitation, and premature failures are well documented. Buying the riskiest version of an already depreciation-heavy sedan at over book is a double penalty.

Verdict: MOOSED. Pretty car, wrong price, wrong powertrain reputation.
