1988 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible review from North America
"Perfect all-around car with great looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump replaced at 90000, again at 130000, again at 180000
Replaced motor for power top.
Replaced passenger side rear window assembly.
Still on original alternator and turbo.
General comments?
This has been a great car for me. Mine is the Premium convertible with leather interior. Seats are a perfect fit for my 5'4" frame, power and performance are more than adequate, even at this high mileage. I started it on a total diet of synthetic lubricants at 60000, and it has done well. Original turbo-very peppy still.
