1991 Plymouth Acclaim LE review from North America
"Best cars for the $$$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm getting car soon from original owner @ work. I got it for $100 and it has been garaged since new and is mint inside and out. I just have to find out why it goes into default mode transmission (2nd gear). He just had trans rebuilt and before that he replaced trans control modual so I am putting original on back in and replacing speed sensors ($60). I am sure this will fix it. Any ways I know these cars are very reliable. He just put a new battery in it as well as front brakes and new stereo. power locks are out as well as AC, but power windows cruise and everything else works. Oh he told me it puffs a bit of smoke when you start it, but not bad and muffler pipe has crack in it easy to fix.
General comments?
These old Chyrlers are great and cheap $$$ to buy and keep up. These with the 3.0L engines are the best. I've had my eye on this car for years and told him if he wanted to sell it let me know. Now I get it for $100 with just a few things to work on and will get 2 years out of it. They are out there just ask around.
