"A fun-to-drive money pit"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Throttle body problem caused it to cough after about 4000 RPM.

Constantly occurring minor problems.

MAP sensor went bad.

Had to replace the starter.

Passenger seat broke and would not would not lock in an upright position.

Clear coat was completely gone and had a lot of rust.

Electrical nightmare (headlights and radio wouldn't work at the same time, always told me my rear washer fluid was empty, etc.)

General comments?

Very comfortable ride and fun to drive. I felt like I was driving a race car when the turbo would kick in.

Geared high so that you could cruise at about 75mph, only revving the engine to about 2000rpm.

Very smooth ride, handles well. Very responsive.

Had to have a mechanic start it again when it ran out of gas.

There was a recall in 1988 on the driver seat metal frame. I had to have mine welded to repair problem.

Sounds like the owner before you was a inexperiuenced car owner. I don't think the Chrysler would destroy their own model. How many miles are on it and did you check the firewall circuit panel or the fuse panel for the electric problems?The owner before probably just tried to rewire it when the problems occurred and decided to quit. What other problems are you having.
