Drove my 04 Sebring until 2017 - 236k miles - would liked to have fixed the last problem, but... mechanic wasn't quite sure that even if I fixed it, it would pass inspection without even more work. it was basically non-running and would have taken up close to $2k with no guarantee of how much longer it would have gone. As much as I hated to do it, I moved to a 2016 (1 year old at the time) focus. Sebring was... 25mpg - focus is getting me around 35-36 - 40+ on longer trips, but haven't had any since covid.
