I currently have a 92 that has been a great car, but it had only 41000 on it
when I bought it this Feb. It has the 3.8 engine which I understand needs
less maintenance over the long haul.. I had a 91 New Yorker new in 91 that I
drove until Dec 94. It had the trans redone under the warranty and was
using oil a little.. Otherwise a great car and probably my favorite daily
driver until the Imperial--92 Version. Most of these models came with most
everything. Mine didn't have Keyless entry and when I tried to get it, the
cost to buy the Chrysler parts was $$ so I opted the JC Whitney solution for
$40. One thing that was a problem, the wires listed in the FSM were not the
same in the car. A 45 Minute job lasted several Hours until we started just
testing wires. A good trans rebuild should last a long time.
Looks as though they got rid of at least one of your wire wheels and the
hood ornament is not correct. The ornament should have a plastic center
with a bird in the middle. I am not sure if it should be clear or black in
the middle the the eagle should be gold. This car looks great for the
miles. Happy driving.
