...a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron 'Turbo' 4-door? The car looks exceptionably clean, all-original w/107 thousand miles. All the 'lux' bits work, it drives smoothly, and was (I was told) bought for the daughter of the owner (who has three very nice, original '50's DeSotos parked in the back yard of his business) and has (I was told) been resolutely treated very gently over the years. It sure looks so.
A few years ago I bought a '84 Dodge 600E 'Turbo' convertible, just for fun, and I loved it, but chose to sell due to parking problems. I'd put a couple of grand into the car, but it still sold for more than I payed.
I've been a Mopar fan since I was a kid. 'Best car I ever had was a new '92 Plymouth Laser 'Turbo'. Black. Cool. 'Got totaled by a plumbing supply truck in the wrong lane. His.
So, my question for all in this group is:
What is your thinking about my buying this pretty little car, keeping in mind that it's going to be a daily driver, albeit a very-low-milage-to-work-and-back one?
By 107K, do you think all the typical K-Car problems (if any) have already been solved and I reasonably might think this LeBaron might get me there and back, I mean like 20/40 miles a day? What problems can I expect? How do all the motors (windows, seats, etc.) hold up? How about the turbo? The computer?
Any advice you might offer will be greatly appreciated.
