1992 Chrysler LeBaron LX review from Lebanon
"Fun Drop-top reliable ride for a great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Soft Top and top latches wore off and were replaced when bought at 30k miles.
Rear quarter window motors lagged, replaced at around 50K miles.
Gasket blew, fixed and Transmission started slipping at around 60K miles, had it rebuilt. On a side note, I do drive rough.
General comments?
I bought this car for $6500 with very low mileage and had an all-around wonderful experience with it, which gladly surprised me at that price range. Aside from some minor repairs and a tune up at 60K miles, I found this car to be VERY reliable.
The 3.0 V6 Engine yields a powerful responsive acceleration and the soft suspension makes for a luxuriously smooth ride on those long trips.
The lower points are handling quality and body shake during those turns and bumps which is typical of early 90's convertibles. Otherwise it drives pretty well on snow thanks to the FWD.
If you're on a limited budget and are looking for a fun convertible and reliable car, don't look elsewhere.
