Just before we separated in 1996, my ex bought me a blue 1992 Plymouth Acclaim (K-Car) with 85,000 miles on it for $5000 from our Dodge dealer.
That car was the biggest piece of cr*p to ever hit the road. I was literally on a first name basis with the tow truck driver and asking about his family each time he towed my car, which was about every other week. The problem was intermittent so I also got to spend a small fortune on repairs that didn't work.
When I traded it in on my NEW Toyota Camry Solara in 2000, the dealer gave me $200 for it. He didn't even want it but I insisted.
I am still dileriously happy with my Solara, and it hasn't required a single repair and runs beautifully.
Moral of this story: Do NOT buy a used 1992 Plymouth Acclaim!
