1992 Chrysler Saratoga SE 2.5 from Netherlands

Summary:

Business-class traveling for economy-class prices

Faults:

Since I own it: nothing (yet).

General Comments:

I bought it at a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer. It has always been well maintained (every 10.000 km) by the previous owner. I'm the second owner.

Cosmetically the car is a disaster: damage on the left front-fender, scratches on the weirdest places and cigarette burns all over the interior.

Saratoga's are very cheap to get in the Netherlands. I had to buy a cheap car quick because my wife needs a car for her job as well and she truly hates the Saratoga's looks. So she's using our other car. Fine with me! I've always had a special place in my heart for US cars (owned an 87 T-bird a few years ago). I drive the Saratoga to work, which is 240 km each day.

If the car wasn't in such a terrible state I would keep it, but I will sell it within a few weeks time.

The Saratoga is very comfortable, quiet, and has perfect road handling. The power-steering is perfect: not too much not too little.

The switch for the interior-light has the most logical place that I've ever seen: integrated in the headlights-switch. Pull=headlights on and turn it to the left=interior-light on. Brilliant!

The car is relatively small on the outside which makes it easy to park. The interior-space is impressive, especially with the backseat down.

I'm sorry that I have to sell it in a few weeks time because this car makes me feel very secure on our overcrowded roads filled with speed-devils. But I have to get something newer. I can't afford to be stranded on my way to work.

To me it's traveling first class in this fine car. 110 kilometers an hour with Hank Williams on the car-stereo. Who could ask for more?

Summary:

Make`s me smile and feel at home

Faults:

Engine run very often roughly due to various causes related to the electrical system, ventilation, filters, fuel system and exhaust system.

Radiator is quite rusty and many of the pipes need to replaced.

Brakes need much attention, but once a year will usually do.

Parts are heavily over-priced and the dealerships are nothing to be proud of.

Rear ligths have some bad connections.

Head gasget blew at 220,000 km, but maybe due to a bad assembly.

Trunk lid lever not functioning.

Exhaust pipe assembly needs much attention.

Rust is starting to show under the doors and the body.

Some problems with the wipers and washer.

Light switch replaced.

Speedometer and oil pressure meter failures occur.

Rear shocks replaced.

General Comments:

Driving is relaxing, fun and reliable.

Every penny`s worth and then some.

This good looking and feeling old lady is full of good vibrations (in addition to good music in your player).

Saratoga is a member of the family and will remain as one for a long, long time.
