1987 Dodge Aries LE review from North America
"Excellent $200. deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front driver side breakline broke from dry rotting. The car sat idle for several years before I bought it. Linkage snapped from old age, but was easily welded back together. Some body rot, but hey what do you expect it was purchased for $200.
General comments?
1.The most reliable thing I've seen next to a Timex.
2.peppy lil'2.5L motor that could smoke most Toyotas, and non v-tech Hondas.
3.great gas mileage and it will never leave you stranded.
