Need some feedback please, on a 1993 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Ave

There is a 1993 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Ave in practically brand new condition for sale locally ; it has 98,000 miles on it, 3.8 litre, has had a rebuilt Trans done by a local Chrysler Dealer, new brakes, new tires, complete tuneup, has leather interior which is immaculate, with warranty till 02/07 . The price is a measily $2500 OBO.

I know little about Chrysler cars . Can someone familiar with this year shed some light on it ? Dependable ? Problematic ? Engine a good one ? Is it an exceptional deal at this price ? What is likely to go wrong with it considering the mileage ?

Thanks for any help . Ill check back later.

If memory serves me well, this was the last year of the older body style before everything switched over to the "LH" style. The price sounds fair considering it is good condition. The only problems that I have read about have been related to transmissions, electronic instruments, and the air ride rear suspension. The 3.3 and 3.8 engines have proven to be reliable.

So long as the transmission was correctly rebuilt, that should not be a concern. Replacing components for the air ride rear suspension can be costly, as there are limited choices for aftermarket parts.

warranty on what? If this is a private sale and not sold from a dealer, be aware that warranties (such as any that might be on the rebuilt transmission, etc.) are not transferrable, read the fine print. If it's sold through a dealer car lot and the warranty is being offered by a Chrysler dealer you should be OK. If the warranty is being offered by an independent car lot, buyer beware.

Also, you should definitely obtain the VIN number and call a Dodge/Chrysler dealer and give them the VIN and ask if there are any recalls on it. There was a pretty nasty ABS recall on the Bendix 10 ABS system that may or may not affect the vehicle - if it does have the Bendix 10 ABS system, don't touch it.

Thanks fellas for your thoughts. The warranty im not sure of...but its probably to do with the trans rebuild.
