1988 Dodge Lancer Shelby review from North America
"Very fast off the line!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced teh power steering three times. I not sure if I had a leak every time or it just went out. At approxitmatelly 135,000 mile the clutch went out.
At about 158,000 the speedometer and the mileage counter quit working all the time. So teh car probably has 180,000 miles.
General comments?
I love this car! I presently own a Toyota pick up and a BMW 750 IL and someone asked me why I still had teh Shelby Lancer? I told the person that the car is very fast and fun to drive. I have blown the doors off several much more expensive car off the line (I usually stop racing at the speed limit of the road.)
The car was in perfect condition when I bought it and it has been very reliable and cheap to maintain.
