1988 Dodge Diplomat Salon AHB Police Package review from North America
"Durable, no-nonsense masterpiece"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburetor has slight choke problem, will be easily fixed.
Replaced lots of things on my last one, but then again I put 160K miles on it.
General comments?
Extremely reliable, you can put 300K miles on the bullet-proof 318 motor if you take care of it.
Comfortable. The police package had big, thick foam, heavy-duty three-way power seats. You will not have a backache after a long journey.
OK gas mileage is not that great, but who cares.
Good looking, handsome car. The last of the legendary Mopar police squads. A car that says "don't mess with me."
