1991 Plymouth Other Base
Click HERE for more information about this vehicle.
I purchased this car inMay 2015 for my 16 year-old daughter to drive back and forth to school (5 milesone-way) and around town. The car was purchased with 23,000 original miles.Please check the CARFAX.
She and the car made itthrough the last two-years of high school without incident. Around graduationtime this spring, the transmission started acting up. What happens 50% of thetime is the transmission ‘skips’ and the car chugs along at half speed and thespeedometer needle jumps around. Get in the car again and it goes fine. It happens in town where there is a lot of stop and go driving. On the highway and in third gear, it runs smooth. Anyway, Ireplaced the speed sensor with no improvement. Our mechanic recommends that thetransmission be rebuilt, which will cost between $1,000 and $1,500. It’s timeto graduate to a different ‘teen car.’
With the transmissionproblem, the odometer stopped working. Currently, it shows 30,727. It stoppedworking, about 5,000 miles ago.
The car is too good toscrap. Plus, it’s now a 26 year-old classic. Hopefully, there is an enthusiastout there who could give it some TLC and who would like to add it to theircollection.
