1990 Chrysler New Yorker Landou 3.3L V6 from North America

Summary:

Luxury Ride

Faults:

The Main Computer had to be replace, very easy to change. Total cost about $200. I've noticed when I come to a stop the car jerks or hesitates like it wants to shut down. Also having a problem with the brakes, losing brake fluid quickly. In the process of being fixed. And just minor ware and tare.

General Comments:

This is the first Chrysler I have ever owned, I love this car and it drives great. Very comfortable and classy. Very powerful, gets up and goes.

Take special care with the transmission, which tends to be a weak point on these cars. Keep your fluids + filters changed, and install a tranny oil cooler if it doesn't already have one.

1990 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue 3.3L OHV from North America

Summary:

A great ride

Faults:

Nothing so far. It has a timing chain instead of a belt and a non-interference engine, so it's not a big deal.

General Comments:

Great car, tranny shifts funny from first to 2nd gear, but other than that it runs like a dream. Doesn't corner as well as my old integra, but it rides great.

1990 Chrysler New Yorker Salon 3.3 L V-6 from North America

Summary:

Well balanced luxury

Faults:

Needed new brake pads up front.

General Comments:

Always started when I turned the key. Has 260 HP and 310 ft-lbs of torque after spending over $500 in parts. Plenty of horsepower for a front wheel drive car. Has the luxury of small limo.

Crashed it at 70 MPH into the rear end of a raised Jeep Comanche. Collision Took out the radiator, battery, driver fender, air cleaner housing ,window, hood and the upper grille panel. This car saved my life and my passenger's.

1990 Chrysler New Yorker Landau 3.3L V6 from North America

Summary:

A beautiful car with a comfortable ride

Faults:

When I tested the parking brake, the insulation on some wires on a board under the dash fried. This was most likely due to something the previous owner did, though.

General Comments:

This is an excellent car. As a 15 year old looking for a car, I did not expect to purchase one like this. I was looking for a Beretta, but my dad brought this home one day and said his friend was selling it. It had high miles but the price was right. I am glad I did not get an economy type car because this thing rides so nice. It does not have a lot of, for lack of a better term, balls. The interior makes up for it, though. It has some rust, but that does not matter. We took this thing on a trip that we usually use my mom's Aurora for and the ride was a lot more comfortable. I am going to drive this thing until it dies. Awesome first car.

You mentioned that the car has no "balls". I have a New Yorker as well (an older model on top of that) and I can tell you that IT DOES. Either your car is too beat up to drive properly or you need more practice in getting a feel of it. Anyway, I am very pleased with mine and can make other drivers eat my dust anytime.

You mentioned that your New Yorker is older. Some of the 4 banger New Yorkers from the 80s had turbos in them. If you have a 3.3L like me and get performance from it, well my excuse is I need a tune up (which will be done very soon). I will see how it runs then. My dad just got a 91 Regal GS for $500 (183,000 miles), so I am gonna see how that drives when it is fixed up. The New Yorker will get a tune up either way, though. I will let you know the outcome.

I love my New Yorker. My Dad got it to replace the 93 Concord that I had. And I say nothing bad about that car because that was a sweet ride. It looked good and even with its 3.3L it was a peppy little thing. But I must say that when it comes to the ride and the luxury the New Yorker comes out way ahead.

I just bought a `90 New Yorker Landau, it has high miles (136000) but it was cheap and in great shape. I can't believe the comfort and room of this car, the interior is so soft... I love it. The car rides great and was well taken care of and I am happy. I like to buy a manual.. can't find one, any of you have a spare one or know a place where to get one? The E brake doesn't work.. any of you have the same problem?
