The air suspension is still great! Driving it is like driving your sofa down the road. I have to be careful when I drive it at night because it's easy to fall asleep in that car😂

    I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest used car on the market. bluebooking out at a whapping 900$ for good condition.
    even though it is cheap, everything just feels better than a modern car.

I've had a bunch of 70s and 80s cars, and drastically prefer their control interfaces. I know the new stuff is 'better', but it's just not very intuitive, for the most part. I shouldn't have to read the manual to set the clock, radio presets, oil change reminder, and all that bullshit, I've been driving and working on cars for 20 years, for chrissakes.

I'm really dreading the Sync situation... I wonder if the better Sony stereo you could get on them mitigates any of the pain? Or if I can just not use Sync? I'm not familiar with the system apart from it sucking, haha!

      Even though it's been 4 years, I've recently drove a 93 New Yorker (a body style a tad bit newer than this 88 IIRC), and it really does feel like a carpet on the highway.
      The one I drove had the 3.3 V6 and it was definitely slow, but it's a very luxurious vehicle so I couldn't complain!

    @VieVentar 9 років тому +10

    Wait wait, I hadn't noticed this before, but you put down the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon as K Cars?
    They're SIMCA Horizons with the good front suspension stripped out and a VW or Peugeot engine at first, then a Chrysler engine slipped in to replace the original SIMCA one. Oh and heavier body panels, which probably at least helped slow down the rust a little.
    Came out in 1978 three years before the K cars were introduced.

      82 New Yorker was an M Body (the car that was the New Yorker Fifth Avenue in 83 and just Fifth Avenue from 84-89)
      79-81 New Yorker was an R Body
      60-78 New Yorker was a C Body
      And
      38-59 New Yorkers were just on the regular Chrysler BOF platform
