Welcome aboard!

$235 doesn't sound too bad at all. I paid $250 Canadian for my latest '88 New Yorker - of course, the little head gasket issue that made it so cheap to buy lightened the wallet a fair amount more than that ;)

Hey, a guy who almost stole my name :lol: :lol:

welcome to allpar! :) $235 doesn't sound too bad.

before you replace the axles, check all three motor/transmission mounts and make sure the engine is centered.

Welcome! Those were great cars. I think you'll be happy with it. They are rugged and they ride better than the Toyotas that someone here touts so much. :P

I'm sorry, but I got quite the chuckle out of that statement. :lol:

Welcome to Allpar. I think you'll find that this is one of the friendliest, most professionally-run automotive forums on the Internet.

[raccoon]

lol paying $235 is being over charged? I think its worth more as scrap. not that you should cube it.

and really these people telling you youve paid too much im sure make payments each month greater then for what you bought you car outright for.

$235 for a car that got you home 50 miles without doing anything to it isn't bad at all. Apparently it's not a rustbucket either, so you did quite well, actually.

If you want to see what it'll look like white before you go ahead and do it, have a look at Usagi's car here.

If you were a registered user, you would not be seeing this!

Yep, rust can make or break it. The drivers side is rusting away omn mine, and I'm afraid my 89 will come apart in two pieces some day. Shame, the engine and trans are in very good shape.

Welcome to Allpar, Chris.

As many have said, I believe you'll find this to be the most informative, and friendliest site out there.

Older than dirt? I got ya beat. I'm older than dirt, and most rocks. lol

Ya got a good deal on your car, and I'd love to see a pic if ya have one.

Again, welcome, and enjoy your stay.

[86reliant]

Yeah, really though :lol:

[~Matilda~]

I saw that too... but I was waiting for someone else to see it. :)

[Wizard]

Aww on that carb thing, Which one that was? 2.6L or 2.2L? Mine is carb and I had to replace it with Weber instead for same reason on Tulip's 2.2.

Oh, welcome here!

Cheers, Wizard

I am a new guy here and just wanted to say howdy and introduce myself. My name is Chris. I have a 1986 Plymouth Reliant 4 door. It has the 2.2 automatic. The body and interior are perfect .The clear coat is peeling everywhere on the hood,roof & trunk.It is blu with blue interior. I am planning a paint job soon but plan to go white.
I am older than dirt. Got 2 kids and a wonderful wife. I bought my car cheap I think. Others said I over paid. I gave $235 for it and drove it home about 50 miles. It runs great and shifts good. The complete cooling system was just replaced. New alternator. I need to replace the front axles is the only problem it has other than a few leaks here and there.

older than dirt??haha well i guess that makes me prehistoric...Gene

BTW I can see I almost stole 86Reliants name but what's with the "both of them" ?

his name is kris. :P

[Seed]

Welcome aboard Kris. I think the people who told you that you paid too much are just jealous that you got a Mopar that cheap and they missed out.

[86reliant]

No, I'm Kris. he's Chris. :D
