Good fun for little coin!
I've always loved these convertibles and picked one up a 92 cheap in 2005 for my daughter to destroy while learning to drive. She didn't like it and it sat for a year at the side of the house. I started driving it instead of my V10 3/4 ton to save fuel on non truck runs. And it was fun! Junk yards abound with these and other models with common parts. I've spent idle time picking out better parts from wrecks and have basically rebuilt this car. This car is simple to work on and improve. Nobody pimps these cars out. So I am! 1 inch lowering kit, fresh stock paint, upgraded chrome, interior swap from other similar year Chrysler models, Chev Z24 16 inch rims. 225,000kms and going strong!
My 1992 LeBaron Rocks!
I bought my LeBaron used with 311,000k's on it, the car was maintained and was look after very good by the previous owner. I have done nothing to it and it works beautifully, Love the style and the 3.0L rocks and is a very high performance motor to say the least, I love it and plan to keep it for some time.

The best car I've ever had!!
I bought my little beauty, used, in 2004. The sleek body style caught my eye. I had no idea what an excellent car I was getting! No mechanical problems or anything, other than your typical age-related. Even then, the cost to repair/replace those parts {water pump & alternator} were very inexpensive. This car is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I usually get bored with a vehicle after a year or so & *trade up*. But there's no way I'll give up my LeBaron. It's sturdy, dependable, easy to work on, gets great gas mileage, runs like a champ & really gets the looks & compliments! Eventually she'll need a new engine and/or tranny, yes, but I'll replace them.
Love the Car!
This has been a great car, heavy and sturdy, can stand outside of the car and turn the car on even starts up with no problem after months in winter storage. The car has power, my daughter raced it against a Mustang and won. This car is easy to take care of regarding maintenance, and is easy on gas usage which is very nice. The only thing that I wish it had was a drink holder. After all these years it runs great, looks great and we still have a blast driving around with the top down, that is the only way to go.
1 Fun Ride
Very simple to work on, parts arent to expenisive compared to other more expensive convertibles, looks just as good as a new bmw convertible, not very expensive to own or buy, little bit of muscle, not to bad on gas, reliable, not the best car for long trips due to not enough back seat leg room still bigger than most in its class
No Problems
my Car is well over 80,000 miles. and i have had no problems but a small rip on my top. but even that is easy to fix, in fact, i just decided to buy a whole new top altogether and found it not too expensive at all ! great pickup speed. great top end speed. totally reliable, smooth ride.
Strong Dependable Car LX Sedan 3.0 L
Has Been In My Family Since We Bought It New And Had Little Problems With It 20 Years Ago. Has Over 200Thousand Miles and Only Major Probs Were Starter, Key Ignition, Struts, Batt, AC, Radio, And Easy To Get To Gaskets. As Long As You Keep Up With Maintenance You'll Be Fine. If You Keep Your Foot Outta Gas You Get 23mpg - 29mpg And Has Medium Power. Still Does 110mph (Track) Easily Even With Blown Gaskets And Only Quart N Half Inbetween Oil Changes. Road Trip With This Car I Would Actuallly Consider It That Comfy Of A Car.
I'd get another.
I was reluctant to pay $1,400 for the 1994 LeBaron with 110,000 miles. But I'm sure glad I did! What a super reliable car. Cheap to fix, good pick up (love the v6), good on hills, in the snow (with snow tires), and it just keeps going and going. The only problem is that the bottom has finally rusted out. Everything is leaking. I think if we had been able to garage it we would have gotten more out of it. But the engine goes nice and quiet and the ride is smooth. Not stellar on gas but it's great in the winter. I would buy a well maintained one again in a heartbeat. I'll be sad when this one goes.
LeBaron Base convertible
Bought the LeB. w/ 52K mi. It now has 100K and I've had no problems at all. No oil burn, no leaks, everything works well. I'm a believer in preventive, rather than breakdown maintenance, and it has always paid off.
For my information
Handling of car is exceptrional, enjoy driving. The foriegn motor has never given me a ounce of problems. Transmission could be better.
Satisfied Owner for 5 Years
I've owned my LeBaron for 5 years now. It had 75,000 miles on it when I ourchased it in 1997 and it now has 108,000. So far I've only dealt with routine maitenance (brakes, oil, plugs, etc.) and minor problems (starter, ais motor, throttle pos. sensor). It is a very reliable car. The 3.0 L V6 is fast and accelerates quickly. The power top goes down with the push of a button (although the back windows don't anymore). All in all, for a car that is almost 10 years old, it has held up suprisingly well. Bravo Chrysler!
Good rag top for the money
Bought my Le Baron used with 18000 miles in 1993. Repairs were tranny replacement at 64000, and a water pump. Needs a cable kit for rear window but Chrysler wants $70+ for a length of cable and couple of plastic spools, so getting along without that. Very good top-down car and that is reason I bought it. Decent power and gas mileage, but the seats practically on the pavement and visibility difficult without a booster - sit so low that any following vehicle will glare the rear view mirrow even with low beams. This has been a reliable car and I expect to keep it around.
Okay
I like this car better then my Mothers Linclon Towncar which is a peace of junk. Buy this car. reliability could be better like Honda
Finest car I've ever owned.
In 2019, bought it new 28 years ago, 160,000 miles now and never an engine problem. Whatever the opposite of "lemon" is, this is it. Famous for coolness during the Miami Vice era. Red, the color of Marilyn Monroe's lipstick, with white interior and a beautiful white boot to cover the top when down. Original paint still beautiful (garaged) and somebody tries to buy it from me on sight about every six months. Have put 3 new tops on. Rear window motors died once, top's motor needed replacement twice. Otherwise, just normal maintenance. A future classic car, and I'm leaving it to my kid. Love this car. It's not a "car"-- it's a family member. :>

Great Car
I have owned this car for 10 years. It has been nothing but awesome. It looks great, very fast and handles well. In 160,000 miles all I have had to do is change the water pump, and starter. The tranny needed an overhaul, but if you consider that Chrysler tranny's are designed for 120,000, getting 160 isnt bad at all. Other than that i maintain it regularly like any car needs and its been great.
92 LeBaron Convertible
Bought this car for my two daughters who wanted "anything that the top comes off". The 92 LeBaron convertible is a beautiful classic design. Mine is white with grey interior, trunk lid luggage rack and I have added 15" alloy wheels. It looks great! Unfortunately the car has had problems with its power windows, power top motor, theft alarm, water pump and AC. Some of its due to age however, and if you have a reasonable mechanic with access to used parts, its a big convertible with lots of power.
Transmission failure at 60,000 miles!
Loved this car right up until the transmission failed at 60,000 miles! Do not buy this car!
Welcome to the 20th Century
I own 3 mopars, a '74 charger with a 440, a 2001 neon, and my daily commute, a 92 lebaron. The elctronical problems are limitless, although when working (some to most of the time) a very nice cushion to the outside world. It has get up and go, mostly due to its low end torque and light weiht (only a 3000 pound convertable, thats a skinny lass) The tranny likes to be told what gear, but still doesn't rev too much past 5650 rpm's. It's a nice all around car when working properly. It trades in power and manueverability for comfort and a topless flare.
Little Old Lady from Pasadena's Convert!
My mom purchased this car and passed away in 2001, leaving me her car. I drove it a lot when she had it (she was 85 when she died!). My complaint is that when the top is up, visibility is blocked when turning around to check for cars approaching when merging onto the highway and paint job was not the greatest.
Great, fun convertible!!
Fun, fun, fun...great first car fo any 16-year-old, and great for any age group really!
Trouble
Car has a history of trouble with automatic transmission, digital dash, and engine. True to form my Lebaron drinks a quart of oil every 1500 miles, the dash sometimes doesn't work, and the transmission is slipping. The 25 mpg (3L V6) is good and the velour seats are cushy but handling is mediocre and styling is outdated. Original Infinity stereo and speakers have failed but it used to sound pretty good.
A YANK IN ENGLAND
this is one cool car and is sized right for Europe easy to park easy to drive and very rare here and so American that's why i bought it European cars are so same boring i wanted a different drive oh fuel mileage hey with our gallon being 20%bigger than us one i get over 30 mpg
Chrysler Lebaron
I love owning this car it is perfect for my needs and I have had no major problems with this car in the last 20 months that I have owned it.
One great car
I recieved my LeBaron Convertable for a Father's Day present in 1998. Since then, other than routine oil changes, 2 sets of spark plugs and a distributor cap, the only thing that cost me was for a fuel pump. We have a full size conversion van and yet on our last 2 touring vacations, one through the Rocky Mountains and one through Eastern Canada, my kids demanded we drive the LeB!
A Happy Owner ???
Just like every other Chrysler LeBaron, I too, have the transmission rebuilt at 100,000 miles. Other than that, it runs reasonably well. I particularly like the "look" of this car. It gives me around 22 mpg. If I can stand the noise from the brake which I have them checked a few times, I may keep it a little longer because it doesn't worth much in the used car market.
laberion
it has been i pretty good car.i have only had to fix one thing on it.that was the water pump and timing belt.but other than that it runs great.
just as good as the japanese
we bought this car used and it had 85000 miles on it.it now has 124000 miles on it with no problems.everything still works on it,and the interior and body are in excellent shape.what people have said that chyrsler products are junk are goofy.i have owned chyrslers all my life and have always been satisfied with them.
Nice car
Fun and easy to drive. Peppy and nice and looking. Hard to get boot covering in place. Moter in side rear windows lasted about 5 years before replacement. Transmission replaced after 9 years although car was driven 85% in town at lower speeds (mechanic said unusual for tranny to be repaired with low milage but sometimes happens). Higway driving at speed limits. Car never mistreated, driven by little 'old' lady from mid- sized family town.
I wish I still had My 1 Whim
I bought my Lebaron Convertible because I thought it was pretty in green with the tan top.MY1WHIM(on license plate) turned out to be the best car! There was a transmission problem when it was about 2 years old. It was replaced and future problems were prevented after I was advised to always use high octane gas. In 11 years/103,000 miles I did routine maintenance like tires & brakes, and had to replace the water pump and a window motor. Unfortunately, last week, the car was totalled when an elderly man "failed to yield to oncoming traffic" and hit me HARD. Thanks to the seat belt and air bag I had no major injuries, just bruises. I hope to replace My1Whim with a Twin Whim!
Been good to me
I have owned this vehichle for 4 years or so and it had not failed me yet. Its fuel economy is good and it is comfortable to ride. Its looks aren't the best but I am not disappointed in buying this car.
I got the short end of the stick
Maybe it's just that I bought it used, but this car did nothing but fall to pieces bit by bit while I had it. No longer reliable after 150,000 miles. Distributor went at 175k, transmission at 180k. Hinge in passenger door just snapped apart. It's cute, but that's about all it has going for it.
TOO LOW
THIS IS A FUN SUMMER ONLY CAR. THE SEATS ARE TO LOW WITH THE TOP UP IT MAKES VISIBILTY DIFFICULT. IT'S GOT PLENTY OF PEP AND GAS MILEAGE IS GOOD. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE PLENTY. IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND THAT GOOD WITH WIREING, YOUR GOOD TO GO. I READ SOMEONE SAID THERE A LOT OF WIND NOISE,I CAN SEE THEY NEVER OWNED A JEEP WRANGLER,WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP. GOT A MEGAPHONE? ENYAW
Okay buy.
I Drive this and my 1991 Honda Accord and my wife's 2003 Infini G35. The G35 and Accord and my father's Taurus all ride better because this car rides avragely with only 59,000 miles on it. This car has wonderful looks and the best cd player. The ride is not to brag about. The Pickup is not the G35 but it is better then my father's Taurus yet it isn't the "91 Accord. 1992 was my lucky year, a son, Clinton elected, and a Chrysler.
never again
horrible transmission problems, very poor reliabilty, will never buy chrysler again
