1988 Chrysler LeBaron GTC review from North America
"Roomy, dependable, kick in the pants Turbo car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaces Power Steering lines at 210000 miles due to a cut in the return line.
Head gasket and head at 150000, because original owner used a older head with a minor crack.
Front brake flex hose at 120000.
Fuel pump 214000.
General comments?
The car is very dependable. I have found things wear out, but doing regular maintenance keeps this car great.
The car is the best car I have every owned. I drive it daily 80 miles round trip. The turbo makes my drive fun.
