1980 Dodge Aspen review from North America
"A very sporty car, but it has some rust"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After I first puschased the car I had to rebuild the carburetor.
Then a week later I had to get the transmition rebuilt which costed around $400 due to the problem findiong parts.
After about a month the weather changed and my doors wouldn't shut do to freezing temp.
Wouldn't start half the time.
It only got 6 miles to a galon.
The engin would flood while seting at a stop light.
One time a WHEEL feel off.
The dash bord would fall off if you took off quikly.
No heater or air conditioning because of electrical problem.
The electrical problems were caused by bad seals around the hood of my car.
Also the locks would not unlock if you locked them so I had to get in from passenger side doorway.
General comments?
Sporty can get up to 60 in less than 30 seconds on a down hill.
Also sometime tires will spin in rocks very cool.
