$1250 for a 1986 Plymouth Reliant K car good deal or shit?

$400 max.

I think the Blue book value on that is about $4.
$1250 is way high for an 86 k-car.

I wouldn't wish one of those on my worst enemy.

Sounds like you couldn't afford to rebuild the transmission every 3 months as needed.

Look for an accord or corolla of the same model year.

thx guys, that's what i figured. gotta love how my mom helps me out in these tough financial times, last time i speak to her.

Tell mom to snap out of it. It's a K car for pete's sake. And it's old to boot. Time passing makes trouble for cars, not just high miles.

Your MOM is trying to rip you off?

I swear the world is coming to an end.

Not only is your mother cruel, but psychotic as well. The "K" car series from Chrysler is only good for storing junk out behind your house because while it might run good now, the onboard computer will fail at some point. The amount of sensors (which if one fails the car will not run anyway) incorporated into this "car" make it an unreliable means of transport, good only for the truly depraved or sadomasochistic who enjoy pushing a vehicle more than they drive it. Save your money for a good car and leave this turd sit.

I had a 84' Plymouth Reliant. Never had to rebuild the trany. I put 132,000 miles on it.

That car is worth $800 tops. If your grandfather owned it, he probably didn't drive the car everytime to the point that the moisture had evaporated out of the engine.

Do a blue book value on it.

Goto this website, an 1987 is the closest you will get to your age of car but that will give you a pretty close value. Print it off & take it to your mother. I wouldn't give more than $800 for it.

K Car? Wow.

I learned to drive on a K car, 1980-81.

what about the barenaked ladies song with the lyric

'k car a reliable automobile'

also if it only has 125 k on it, and owned by a grandpa who rarely drove it, it might be in prestine condition and maybe worth up to $1500

Ignore Lee Iacoca, For 1500 you can get a early 90's import.

What about the Yugo?

A car that seems to have been assembled at gunpoint.

We had a Yugo. Drove it for about a week, then a linkage in the trany broke. It was made of a hard plastic & couldn't be fixed.

Since it's in the family it might be alright, if they are going to let you make payments fi for you.

this 1986 k car is being sold for 3 grand, i'd say 1250 for a good quality one is a great deal. besides k cars are great cares, very reliable, they last forever, don't listen to the haters!

You actually bought a Yugo?

The Yugo came with the optional winter upgrade package which consisted of a rear window de-icer. This was to keep your hands warm while your were pushing it to the garage.

CRAP, beyond crap.

OP, tell your mum to list it on Craigslist and see how many takers she gets at that price.

You would have to PAY ME $1250 to take it off your hands.

Plus the problem with water leaking into the engine oil via the head gasket.

I sold one of these 8 years ago for $700 and it was in pretty decent shape at the time. Your mom's price is at least double what it should be.

You sure it wasn't a sarcastic remark? An ironic remark? An oxymoron?

Yeah....that's why you see them all over the roads. Yeah right!!! I have an old beater car...89 Cavalier book price 200 bucks and the next stop is the salvage yard.

Hahahaha, that's funny! Not EVEN worth $100.00....

Puh-lease!

Your mom sucks. Why would a mom charge her kid for something like that?

Especially a piece of shit K car.

That other poster is right....The world is coming to an end.

You could buy them at that price 10 years ago.The price is too high.My mother had one.It was a decent car it lasted almost to 200,000 mile before the engine was just too worn out and it blew a head gasket

I would pay up to 700 for it myself,no more
