1983 Chrysler LeBaron Mark Cross review from North America
"Avoid the 2.6"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump seized the first day I had it.
A/C compressor locked up and blew the clutch.
Carburetor never worked right, even after two rebuilds.
Rusty floors.
Trip computer never worked.
General comments?
I liked the car itself, very comfortable, and lots of trunk space for a convertible. But the 2.6 Mitsubishi engine is garbage. It's the only engine I ever saw mechanics refuse to touch! I'd recommend looking for one with the Chrysler four (2.2 or 2.5)
