Poorfag student here with $300 I recently inherited this 2007

Run it just like that until it gets reposessed or it breaks down. I give it two months before the car begins to idle funny. spark plugs and oilchange

The jatco CVT is utter shit, drive it until it explodes and save money in the mean time

Never go into debt for a car

Half that shit on your list is meme. The main thing you should do is find a way to resolve the tranny overheating and then make sure your water pump/alternator are in good condition. The rest you can fix as you go

Put minimum effort into the car, pay it off ASAP. Doesn't even sound that bad for a first car other than the lien. Replace battery if needed, change oil, check CVT fluid, put HEET in the tank next fill up (like $1.50 in a yellow bottle at Walmart or auto store) that removes moisture. CVt fluid probably can be changed but it's expensive to do and not really worth it as long as it works.

Truf

Your car is a piece of shit.

Better off driving it till it dies

Do nothing

Chrysler hasn't made anything worth a fuck this Millennium, so spend as little as possible on this shitheap

Don't replace your CVT fluid, you're just as likely to kill it
Change the oil, put cheapass wal-mart oil in
Flush brakes if they're black, otherwise it doesn't matter
Check if it's got a timing belt and consider replacement, do it yourself if you can (you can usually find a youtube video to guide you, or at least you can pirate a manual for it).
You probably need a new battery, buy the cheapest shit you can find (or even get a used one, longevity doesn't matter much)

Everything else who gives a fuck it's a shitbox. Replace stuff only as it needs to be replaced.

Now save your money so you can upgrade to the glamourous 1998 Corolla in a year when this thing dies.

It's really not that surprising, Chrysler is shit on heavily by /o/

If the car isn't Japanese it's getting shitted on

you should probably check for shit blocking the radiator if the transmission is overheating. Yes, technically the engine should be overheating too but for the ten seconds it takes to check its worth it. also check the trans cooler lines for leaking, the CVT's weren't as bad for it as the A/T's but it still happens. You'll also need a measuring dipstick, reference charts, and a way to measure transmission fluid temperature if you want to accurately measure the fluid level.

You should probably junk the thing or sell it at a rock bottom price. Calibers don't hold value well, even less so when they go into limp mode on highways and have been literally sitting for years.

You're on a Japanese centered image board bro. What do you fucking expect?

Fuck off m8, I can change my own transmission fluid, I don't need no jew to do it for me

Those CVTs in Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler econoshits are garbage. My mom's compass does the exact same thing.

When did he say it had over 200k? My father had a mid-2000s Chrysler piece of shit and it didn't make it to 110 before the transmission failed. His girlfriend had a Concorde that did the exact same thing.

You can love Chrysler for their design or interiors or whatever but you don't get to say they're reliable because they're shit.
