I bought a '71 Plymouth Custom Surburban, new in August 1971. It had most of the options except power seats and windows. It just wasn't one of their better efforts. All kinds of pesky little problems, I managed to repair myself. Wasn't a practical car, for mostly city driving, as it had a 383 big block. I drove it for six years and 80K miles and it went to the junk yard. It shot a timing chain and was vandlized, where it was parked.
I replaced it with a base model '74 Plymouth Satellite wagon with 30K miles. That car was totally different! Very little went wrong with it in the 95K miles I put on it myself.
I still have two Mopars, so it didn't sour me too bad.
