Have not viewed it yet... but I am one of the (perhaps few) individuals who had really, really good service and an enjoyable drive-quality out of their K Car.
I bought a 6 month old, ex-rental '87 Plymouth Reliant "Canada K" in Oct. of 1987. It had 12,000 km / about 8,000 miles on the clock - and it had the balance of a 7 year / 115,000 km powertrain warranty on it. Why oh why would anyone necessarily buy an ex rental?... I did, thinking that with that powertrain warranty - I could not go wrong.
What did the car have:
- 2.5 litre throttle body fuel injected (single Bosch injector) engine... with twin balance shafts under the crankshaft. This was the Chrysler stroked 2.2... with added balance shafts
- 3 speed A/T with lock-up on 3rd
- split bench cloth seat; fit 6 people in a pinch
- higher spring-rate optional springs (AKA "heavy duty suspension")
- manual A/C
- no cruise, crank-windows, manual locks
- panhard-rod stabilized twist axle (with added, integral rear antisway bar), coil springs
- MacPherson strut front suspension (with anti-sway bar)
- power rack and pinion.
- non-interference valves, timing belt
I had that car for some 26-1/2 years. I put about 215,000 km on it... not a lot, by BITOG standards, I know.
Problems encountered: - 1 O2 sensor; drivers' side window regulator (manual)
That's the sum-total of all of the problems.
That car, believe it or not... being the 7th model-year iteration of principally the same design - drove really, really well. The steering was not overboosted, and it tracked very well. The panhard rod really effectively (laterally) located the twistbeam axle, behind. The HD spring and the amount of anti-sway (by the antisway bars) was optimal. Did not ride rough; but was not flacid. And the damping was just right.
The 2.5 litre engine was really torquey for its size. It had a 4.09" stroke... so not a high-revver, for sure, but the balance shafts made for a smooth revving engine. It had strong bottom-end torque.
Visibility... being a 'real square design... was excellent. At times I towed an 8' load-bed landscape trailer and backing up this trailer was so, so, easy - with this incredibly clear-view back end.
Whereas styling was not sleek... I have to say that that car was a very good car for me. To this day my wife wishes she still had it.
YMMV, I know. The two best things Chrysler did...was add fuel injection, and add balance shafts to the stroked engine.
