1987 Chrysler LeBaron Sedan review from North America
"It is definitely worth buying if you can get one in decent shape"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems with my car are routine problems. I run my car a little hard being a teenager, so
I have to replace the brakes a little more often than usual. The only other problem is the wrist pin, which I've heard breaks in all the Le Barons. All it does it decrease the power a little.
General comments?
This car is a great little car. It will get up and go, it just takes a little while to get there. It handles very well. It lacks a big engine so it is hard to spin the tires or mess around, but it will move. The interior is very comfortable and is still in great shape. The only problem on the inside is that my dome light doesn't light up when I open the driver door.
