My mom just turned 70, god bless, and her 1991 Dodge Shadow turnend 15 officially.
ZERO problems in 15 years AND NOTHING BUT SCEDULED MAINTENANCE.
It wasn't gently used either, both me and my brother have done "mad rips" to the East Coast in it. The 300,000 are hard earned.

I wish Chrysler built all there cars with that kind of reliability, if it wasn't for self destructing trannys and smoking engines in there Mini Vans they would rule the roost right now. Oh and Happy Birthday to your mom and may she have many more.

My GF has a 92 Spirit, clear coat is starting to flake off, and it has rust around lower rear wheel well, underneath drivers side view mirror, and around windshield trim....but she bought it used a few years ago and who knows where it came from. Doesn't help either that she almost never washes it.
