1988 Chrysler Dynasty from North America - Comments

"Good for elderly who own a poodle."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The ceiling material slowly started to sink in until it eventually looked like a huge bubble of air bubble was on the ceiling of the car.

The corners of the roof of the windshield leaked every time it rained or when it was washed (which wasn't too often).

The battery died and had to be replaced.

The car would start one day and not the next. Twisting the wheel left and right quickly and then screaming loudly would sometimes get it started.

It leaked oil like mad! Repairs cost about $1000 (so not worth it)

It smelled like burning quite often and was really loud when accelerating.

The car couldn't be turned too sharply to the left or right while pulling into a parking spot or else it would stall.

General comments?

The dynasty lasted me about three/four years and in those years took a pretty good beating.

This car helped me get from point A to point B for a good three years.

Probably would look better with some dice hanging over the rear view mirror and a poodle sitting on your lap.

It's a Dynasty alright. It eventually dies. The long death process of the car isn't pretty. It's nasty.

That's a funny part at the end. I always thought they were called Dynasty because the car was so nasty you wanted to kill yourself because you were driving it.

I get a kick out of how you say this old car took a "took a pretty beating" (sounds like you were less than nice to the car), but give it a 0/10 for reliability. That's some fair marking...
