1989 Plymouth Voyager review from North America

"Worth every penny"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Timing Belt (original per previous owner) at 180,000 miles. Replaced it myself for <$100 not including the 11.5 hours spent doing repair in a parking lot at the Grand Canyon.

Replaced the Map Sensor every 1-2 years since 1996.

Air Conditioning has been inoperative since 1995. Per the original owner this has been a problem since the vehicle was 2 years old (three compressors replaced during warranty). I have never bothered spending any money on it.

Burns a little oil (What did you expect after a quarter million miles).

Has a problem with longevity of the CV boots. I have replaced 3 or 4 total since 1994. In one case this led to replacement of the right CV joint.

Most recently, she has begun to stall when cold.

General comments?

Overall, this vehicle has been extremely inexpensive to own. I purchased it for $4000 in 1994 and feel that I have gotten more than my money's worth.

I have done regular preventative maintenance, such as oil changes every 3000ish miles (read 3-5K).

Interior has held up well considering that this vehicle has spent the last 140,000 miles outside in the Arizona sun.

Dealership has been used on a couple of occasions when map sensor had given out. Can vouch for Flagstaff dealer only.

We like the ride (especially after replacing the shocks and struts at 200,000+ miles). Sits nice and high in traffic.

Handles very well in the snow due to the front wheel drive.

All in all I would say that "Old Blue" has exceeded my expectations in every area.
