Year model of 4th gen to stay away from?

Wasn't 87 the last year of the leaning tower of power in a first gen ,lol.

I dont remember the year. I remember being grateful they went to elec. ignition. That points distributor was a pain.

They were great engines. Those old Darts with the slant 6 & torqueflite trans, the body would rust off the car before the drivetrain gave you any problems.

Yup...that's what was happening to mine before I sold it!

Slant 6, You'd have to buy a 1970's vehicle to get one of those.

No way, you can get one as new as 1987!

I remember as a 16yo a local man wanted to sell me his old Dart. Slant 6,pushing oil and smoke out the dipstick tube.Could hardly even get it started.It would do a chuch,chuch,chuch as it idled and puff a lotHe wanted $150 more than it was worth. He was asking $150 for it. I turned him down.

Funny...I bought mine when I was about 20 for $150, and one day a guy gently rear ended it while it was parked. His insurance company gave me $200, and I eventually sold it for $50. (The $100 profit went for all the oil it went through...about 50 miles per quart...no kidding!)

It's easy enough to do, just need a comparable media hub, wiring adapter for the hub and the radio UAS or UAQ). It's plug-n-play(nothing to program) and the biggest $$$ is how much the radio cost you. Watch the classified section below or even your local salvage yards. www.car-part.com

I also had to install steering wheel volume and changer rocker switches to really use the radio easily when I upgraded my 2018 from the basic radio to a 8.4 UAS.

The buttons on the back of the steering wheel are completely optional for using the UAS/UAQ but the phone and voice command on the front do make using the radio hands free.
