Your right about the Spirt and Dynasty cars I see alot of them but here in St.
louis, I also see a ton of Buck centurys and Cutlass most of those have a V6
from the 3.1 to the 3.8
But very Fords but the ones I do see are mainly Taurs's.
The biggest problem with the older Mopars are those pesky 4 speed auto. I bet
most that we see are with 3 speed.

nope still bad, must depend on where ya live, alot more older gm out
here and hardly any older chryslers but with todays society, cars are not
maintained and all go bad so there really is no way to tell. what is better. i
have had both and both have there problems. if ya dont want to worry about
costly repairs, buy new but then ya have a payment every month so ya still
lose. i buy an older car with low miles for myself and if it breaks down, i fix
it. the wife drives new but her car cost more to have than my old intrepid. all
i can say is you dont know how any car was driven, maybe the dodge was owned by
3 different 16 year old kids that never changed the oil and the gm was properly
maintained and not driven hard. you just never can tell.

The problem is that you and I are sharing anecdotes, rather than performing
a statistical study. If we had access to the manufacturer warranty data, we
would be able to make a decent comparison.
I think about the best comparison we can make is between older vehicles. I
still see a lot of AA-bodies (Plymouth Acclaim, Dodge Spirit, Chrysler
LeBaron) and AC-bodies (Dodge Dynasty, Chrysler New Yorker) out on the
roads. Since none of these are fewer than 11 model years old (AA) or 14
(AC) you can guess something about how well their drivetrains were put
together (in this case, the 2.5L/A413, the 3.0L/A604 the 3.3L/A604 and the
3.8L/A604). By comparison, I see very few N-body GM products from that same
era around. I think a lot of those got the Quad-4; not 100% certain about
that, but whatever it was, a lot of 'em wore out sooner than the competing
Chrysler products.
