1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue from North America - Comments

"This is a great road car, but is not for short trips about town."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the starter in 2005.

Replaced the fuel pump in 2006.

Headliner was sagging when I purchased it.

Paint began to peel of the top in 2004.

General comments?

This car is very reliable.

The passenger compartment is quite tight with more than 4 passengers.

Although it might be considered a granny car, I like the old school style and the chrome trim which is lacking in new cars.

My husband and I are looking at a 1988 Fifth, one owner, elderly lady, well maintained, covered parking, great condition, interior immaculate, 4 Dr, not sure of the engine size, white/blue across the middle/blue interior. He wants us to purpose, I'm concerned about gas mileage. Have you heard of a part you could put on the vehicle that would save gas?

There are plenty of parts out there that claim to save gas (they don't work). The best you can do is make sure the car is properly tuned and running well, then drive conservatively. Even under the best circumstances, mpg on an old Fifth Avenue is not going to be that great.
