No offense, but I'd take all those published weights with a grain of salt. The only accurate way to tell would be to weigh two empty shells or two IDENTICALLY equipped cars....both with the same amount of gas, oil and windshield washer fluid!

None taken... you are absolutely correct! I think Chrysler realized that too because of their wording "approximate" and "estimated" in the books. I just thought it might be useful to the poster for comparison purposes. I imagine that a/c, power windows, cruise etc would add on several hundred pounds to a base car. The a/c compressor can feel like 500 lbs when bent over the car trying to remove it.
