General Comments:
I bought my 1992 New Yorker Salon as a second car.
Now I drive it EVERYDAY.
Drives great, handles good in rain and snow.
I am now looking for one with low miles. I want to keep driving these cars until I cannot find anymore.
Gas mileage is not bad either. I get 26 on the highway.

Everything and anything went wrong with this car... not only did I put in a new transmission that cost a bundle, I had to replace the "motor" on the braking system. The dodge dealership never even heard of a "motor" on the braking system, I ended up putting in disk brakes. I spent more money fixing this car, then I payed for it. Run, don't walk away from this model.
General Comments:
Car is a real idiot car, tells you what is going to go wrong with it. Nice on the highway for long trips, looks good, but unless you have a lot of money fixing it, don't buy it.

This is outrageous! I have had 2 of these cars and they are awesome. The best car I have ever owned other than a Reliant K. You must have just had a bad one - look at all the great reviews!
I bought '92 New Yorker at an auction. No one told me about the alarm system; that was quite a challenge. After I figured out what to do, the park lights won't turn off. If anyone knows the solution, please help.

Summary:
Exceptional Quality from a Chrysler
Faults:
I had to replace my rear air shocks.
I had to replace my starter.
I had to re-vamp my air conditioning system.
Otherwise, just general maintenance.
General Comments:
This is an excellent car! I have always liked Chryslers. I had a 1983 Chrysler Imperial before I bought this car. I bought this car right off the showroom floor, and it has been a great car ever since. Since I like to keep my cars quite a while, I generally take care of them. This Fifth Avenue has been no exception. The Clear Coat finish is still exceptionally lustrous, and looks like a brand new car. The interior also is in mint condition. The cabin is very roomy and you can't get more comfortable seats! It gets relatively good gas mileage, and is a great highway cruiser. If you're looking for a classically-styled Chrysler, this one's for you!

I have recently purchased a used 1992 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Ave 3.8L V6. Overall it is an excellent car, I love it actually, but I've had to replace the radiator, light switch and relay, and now the power steering pump. All of these are expected to be replaced on a high mileage vehicle, but not within the time frame since I have had the car. I'm still wondering if I just happened to get the worst end of the deal or if the vehicle was just in dire need of maintenance.
I bought a 1992 New Yorker 3 1/2 years ago. It's the best car I've ever owned. Replacing the transmission, having all new brakes and B.F. Goodrich M80s, it is still much cheaper than the Grand Cherokee or Land Rover I almost bought. Insurance is really cheap. The former owner installed a premium sound system. I almost regret arriving after a trip the car is so comfortable. Everything I need in an automobile & more. The cost of anything I put in is cheaper than a plastic new car.
I now own a Chrysler Imperial Brougham, and I Love it. I have had to replace nothing, and everything was in mint condition when I purchased the car. the dealer (who does service the car) said that this car looked great for it's age, and was well taken care of. The interior is beautifully Upholstered, and the car rides better than my Motorcoach or my Cadillac Deville. I would have to say that Chrysler did a wonderful job. And I agree completely with the above statement about plastic cars.
