1988 Plymouth Reliant K review from North America
"A 4 cylinder tank!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Jesus...
OK I bought the car for $600 from this guy. I get it home and drive it for a week and look into the radiator to see why it was getting hot. And the thing was BONDO'd together, and leaking badly...
Let that go for a few weeks and still drove it around...
Fixed the radiator.
Found out the heads were blown and had been for months... Still drove it...
Also found out the block was cracked...
IT STILL STARTED UP AND RAN!!!
Still need a new exaust system.
It's a VERY UGLY CAR...
It's noisy.
Other than that, nothing really.
General comments?
OK I really hate this car cuz I'm 21 and I feel like a complete loser driving it, but I will say this. I don't doubt that I could drive this car off a cliff and it still get up and run... The car is indestructable...
So I give it much props...
If you have around $600 and just want a little car to get in and drive as hard as you can, or have a kid. Insurance on these are low.
