1988 Plymouth Reliant LE review from North America
"Nice reliable cars, but look underneath"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car from a high school friend of mine, took it to the shop for a safety check and was handed pieces of the sub-frame and frame by the inspecting mechanic. That was the end of that idea.
General comments?
It looked like a great car, air conditioning and fresh paint, and lots of goodies, bought it from a good friend who BABIED it beyond belief. Unfortunately, it was not able to pass a safety check and wound up in the scrap yard.
