1982 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Ave. review from North America
"An old luxury car that is still a decent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear main seal and hydraulic lifters at 45,00 miles.
Inside door handle on driver's side broke off.
Left front caliper sticks.
Many holes in Exhaust.
General comments?
Cabin very comfortable, feels like I'm riding on a leather sofa.
Speedometer only goes to 85mph.
Added a 6 CD changer in the trunk.
Snow Tires on in winter.
Was an old lady's car in a rural town in North Dakota.
Power everything.
