The head gasket blew soon after I bought the car.
The strut rubbers have started to come off.
There is a small hole in the exhaust pipe.
The trunk leaks slightly.
Overall, I am very happy with the car. The previous owner installed a new transmission as well as a new Kenwood audio system.
The interior is in great condition with only a few blemishes.
The paint has chipped around the rear windows a bit, but otherwise it is fine.
The undercarriage is in perfect condition, and the suspension is great. It handles well and is quite torquey!
My only complaints would have to be the blown head gasket and leaky trunk.
Update:
At 83,500 miles now. Have now replaced the power steering rack and tie rod ends. My alternator bearing has begun to squeak and I suspect I'll have to replace that soon. A/C compressor has just recently begun to leak compressor oil, we most like have to replace that soon as well. Just today the line connecting the fuel filter to the main gas line broke, leaking about 6 gallons of gas all over my driveway, and rendering my car useless until I was able to get to the autoparts store with the car I borrowed from my grandmother. Replaced the filter, is now working fine again. Overall, have become less happy with this car. Will keep it for the remainder of highschool, then I will sell it and buy a newer car for college. Most likely a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
Original Reviewer again.
Car has worked on and off since last update. Usually runs well for about 3 weeks at a time and then has another failure. May be my first car, but it's definitely my last domestic vehicle. My family has had similar issues with domestics in the past, and while most aren't this bad, they aren't much better. Final straw was when it left my mother and brother stranded on a busy highway in the middle of a pouring rain storm. Definitely won't be buying another Chrysler product, and most likely will become 100% Japanese vehicles after selling this sh*t box. None of our Honda's (only Japanese vehicle we've owned) has ever left us stranded, and our last one had over 450,000 miles on it according to my father (who still has records on it.) My next car will DEFINITELY be a Honda.
