1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue review from North America
"Well worth every penny of the $2,300 I spent on the car - very dependable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced faulty oil sending unit.
Replaced rusted out crossover air pump tube and valve assembly.
Replaced leaking fuel pump.
Replaced muffler.
NO major repairs, mostly just parts that would have worn out with mileage and/or age...
The paint on the roof had to be repainted as it was fading. The trunk's paint is fading as well. Many vehicles (Ford, GM and Chrysler) have had this problem for a long time. The paint problem is minor (even if it looks bad), as the reliability of the vehicle is most important to me. Will get the trunk repainted someday when I get the money to do so...
General comments?
Am VERY happy with my Fifth Avenue!
It's been very reliable and the repairs have been very few!
Gets good gas mileage for a 5,000 pound car (25 mpg)!
The leather seats are very comfortable.
Am the FIFTH owner of this car and it's had good care from the former owners (thank goodness)! The interior looks BRAND NEW!
