1981 AMC Concord DL review from North America
"I believe this to be an excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had two problems with this car. The air conditioning system developing unsafe (high) pressure. I had the system converted to R-134 and have been pleased with the results. The radiator became clogged in 2001 and I installed a new radiator.
General comments?
This car runs, rides, and handles like a much newer car. The ride is softer then many newer luxury cars. With low mileage, the interior and finish remind one of a 2 year old used car.
