Scrapped! 1995 Chrysler LHS! 

I’d sell that car, it still has life ahead of it

'94-97 LHS/'94-96 New Yorker are my personal all-time favorite cars. I sold them new ('95-96) and fell in love with them. I've personally owned 7 of them (3 were brand new) over the years. The last one was a '94 and had 286,000 miles when I sold it for $1,000 in 2013. They positively are the best riding (and driving ) highway cars you can own. The interior is roomy and not claustrophobic like many of the newer cars. Trunk is "gy-normous". Plenty of power to smoke the tires (with Traction Control off, of course) should you be into that sort of thing. If you are interested in one "for whatever reason", avoid the ('93 and) '94. First year production woes plagued this MY. Typical LH car (LHS, NY, Vision, Concorde, Intrepid) problem areas... PAINT fade is almost a given (roof, trunk, hood), occasional transmission issues (def on the '93-'94), a/c compressors, rear quarter panel rust in Northern state cars. I'd avoid the 3.3L on the lower end models and buy the 3.5L V6 (standard on the LHS, NY... optional on the rest of them). Just my 2 cents!!!!! Thanks for posting!

I actually forgot I own one of these until I saw this video recommendation. Same color but the NY version column shift. it’s been on my land I own in Kentucky and completely forgot I had one...probably has bees in it now. Edit: the a/c was the single best I’ve ever seen in an automobile shy of a ‘50s double blower motor Frigidaire GM car.

With that air working I wish you had my guy vice grips garage there so he'd say "well I'll be dipped the ol air conditioning unit works"

lock up tork converter for sure they were bad in all over drive cars easy fix replace moduale save it for sure rides nice like a cutlass

I notice that country station which state r u in?

It's actually in pretty good shape body wise. A car that old up here in Michigan would just be a huge pile of rust. If you did the quick fix it wouldn't be a bad first car for a kid or a decent winter beater.

That’s a great night on the town car👍

Loved each and every one of the 6 LHS/New Yorker and Eagle Vision Tsi and Dodge Intrepid ES I have owned. Would buy another one in a minute if a low mileage, garaged, well-cared for offering came along! They drive, look, and ride like a much more expensive car.

Oh man that’s a keeper 🤣

I love how when knobs fall off a car, instead of using a drop of glue and 30 seconds to fix the issue, they throw the knobs away and live with the eye sore and annoyance for years.

i love big old sedans

That’s a beautiful car, deserves to be saved! Don’t see them too often

For $600 bucks I would use it as my work car or grocery getting car, or drive it on rainy days so my nice new car stays nice and clean in the garage. It definitely is in nice shape for it's age and everything works which is amazing.

Those alloys! That C pillar!

My mom has a 96 LHS. She's owned it since new. It's in much better condition. In fact hers still looks brand new and has a whole 50 thousand miles on it.

“It ain’t cycling..” and then it just fuggin does, that’s some great timing right there haha

It’s worth fixing ... beautiful car

A neighbor i use to have had one of these. She was 96 years old and only drove it to the post office to get her mail. Hers was identical to this one only the paint was in better shape. When she passed away the car went to her grandson.

I would think it would be worth putting a solenoid pack in that one. It's clearly been looked after or the interior leather wouldn't be so nice after nearly 25 years and 190,000 miles. Plus they're pretty unusual now so a pretty nice, solid example that could benefit from a little TLC is exactly the type of thing that would appeal to the new generation of car enthusiasts. There's certainly plenty of potential in that one to make a really nice example, and you certainly won't park next to another one too quickly...

Those transmissions are Horrible from my experience

Holy crap. Last time I saw one was in 2006. My next door neighbor used to own one. Hers was purple.

I started out poorer than poor. I’m not gonna get into details but after my parents passed (2008) I found one of these in great shape and bought it for $900, it looked like it had never seen mud snow or sleet in its life! Anyway years later I’ve done very well for myself and have had/have “higher end” cars. That said my 94LHS is still to this day one of the best cars I’ve ever owned! Never let me sit and always made sure I got there comfortably lol If I ever come across another in that shape I can honestly I’d have a hard time walking away from it.

Never realized how crown vic like the rear end looks

Love this generation of LH cars from Chrysler.

It is really great to see regular vids from you again..................

"Nah it ain't cyclin'" Compressor *cycles* 🤣

Yeah not all Chrysler products were junk. the WJ series Jeeps were junk though as my Mom had one and it went through batteries and alternators like mad PS: That is not the correct radio for that model car. That is the newer style rounded corner face where as that car need the older square face style, although it is a Chrysler radio with the grey and black wire harness PS I too am surprised the A/C system still works

My dad absolutely loved these cars! Twenty-four years later and it still runs. People either loved or hated them, but our family had three and they lasted a long time.

fires right up like it ran yesterday

I have the exact same car--except it's a '96 LHS. Bought it in early '99 with 34K miles. Paid $13 K for it. Now has 160K miles. Have put $4000 in it since purchase. That s for all tires, Water pumps, Batteries, wipers, Struts, brakes, Gaskets, muffler, tune ups, etc. Not a dime on major engine repairs. Original Tranny. Just dropped tranny fluid, gasket and filter today--clean pan! Tranny shop said tranny tight and in great shape. Owner said: "Drive it like you stole it". Also put a new 1/2 shaft on it due to torn boot. I do oil at 3K; Tranny fluid at 60K, other maintenance when necessary/scheduled. A/C Locked up 1 year after purchase. Dropped it's belt and have used "4 windows/60 mph" A/C Since. 20 years later-- Still gets 27MPG on Interstate at 80 mph. 18-20 around town. Uses little oil. I have a strong, but not quite heavy foot. Paint is like new. Fantastic ride and wonderful Infinity Sound system. (I like the Who--so guess how loud the stereo goes ??? LOUD !) I know you sold it, but mine is still running strong. The Long Heavy Sedan has been good to me. The 3.5 liter has been good for acceleration, Highway driving and economy. If you beat a mule--it'll die on you. Same thing with cars. Glad you didn't crush it.

Never seen a LHS. They look exactly like my dads 96 Chrysler New Yorker. Same body style and everything.Yes it looks like a senior special but its still looks nice.This must be a special edition or something. Keep it and fix it someone will buy it.

I like these cars for a newer car, quiet, comfortable..

That LH chassis was one of the best engineered , front wheel drive with the engine mounted longitudinally, cab foward, it was a superior handing, riding vehicle. To bad the transmissions had some issues.

Why was it scrapped? I would drive it. It's much better than what I drive now

After the transmission went out a second time and water pump went out for the third time....it was time to junk it

That's pretty clean for 192k miles. Damn.

That banging is the trany hitting the floor pan due to a failed trany mount. Been there, done that

Save the car it’s too good to scrap it deserves new Home in my humble opinion like the video keep them coming and how is your dad doing thank you very much have a great day.

I wish I was closer I'd love to have that old Chrysler. I miss the 90s

This year LHS was very popular back then. Nice ride, I'll paint this one get some new tires and keep steppin.

My old boss had one with the same transmission issue, from what I remember we had to drop the transmission pan and replace the filter and also replace the "solenoid pack" on the exterior of the transmission to resolve the problem fully. It's not too hard but at 192000 miles this thing is just about ready to poot anyway

Worth keeping

My dad had one of those with a 2.7l V6. Gas mileage wasn't all that great and it wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cat's ass....

Thats one rare motor!

At least it's not the 2.7

I have a feeling that this car wants to live. A special one. Great sound of the motor.

The best looking version of the Dodge Monaco/Eagle Premiere.

Great Fullsize! I hope it finds a new owner who drives it regularly and enjoys the comfortable ride. Cars like that want to be driven regularly and will stay alive longer that way.

I'd buy that. Love those 90s Chryslers.

Definitely a keeper or a good work car for somebody. Someone will buy that for $600.

"....holy shit!" priceless.

Will go see if my hanes manual is still on the shelf and get back to you .

I found a pretty much MINT '95 LHS completely rust free 70,000 original miles today. Lookin at it/driving tomorrow. Typing 95 Chrysler LHS into the youtube search bar, several videos pulled up, including this one. After watching a few of em, if all checks out, I'm buyin it!

I purchased my USED 1997 Chyrysler LHS in Feb of 1997. No. That's not a mistake. It was one of those program lease cars, and was turned in with 17,500 miles on it. I still own it. It has paint peeling mostly due to baking sun here in the southwest. The front seats (mostly driver side) are pretty well worn, but lots of that wide super tape makes them still usable. Mechanically it is in very good shape. Drive train and engine are good, although the transmission slips a little between 1st and 2nd band, but it's tolerable. I've taken very good care of it, and invested in keeping it running well, even replacing front springs. Typical u-joints, rubber booties, tie-rod ends. Things that kept the car riding "tight". Things like electric door lock activators, lubricating door window actuators, you know, that sort of sfuff I did myself, as well as spark plugs, spark plug wires and looms, windshield washer fluid tank ... in other words anything that didn't a car lift, for the most part, I could fix, repair, or replace myself. Recycle yards were my source for most of the parts. Always used the best tires (Michelin). Replaced engine belts myself. The ONLY thing I could never get working was the washer fluid sensor, which I replaced more than once, but the fluid low indicator light would stay on. I fixed that by removing the bulb! I have a 2016 Chrysler 300 S. I bought it remotely, so never test drove it. It now has ==>4280

I love these. My Father bought one in the same color brand new in 1994. His had the charcoal interior and infinity CD with “spatial imaging”. It’s also the car I would later learn to drive and take my road test in. Also 1994 was the last year of the old pentastar emblem

SELL IT!!!! Definately a keeper!!!

I had one, advice if you own this car remember this when it was New this LHS cost around $30'000 to $32'000 dollars,in which if there was a 2021 LHS it would probably cost around $57,000 dollars,it probably would look between a Genesis and a Bentley so take care of it

I just bought one of these yesterday with 48,000 miles on it. It’s like a brand new car. September 21, 2022

I got a 1995 f150 with 314,000 miles and the factory air conditioning still works

I just bought one of these for $1400, 22000 miles, minty as all hell, best car ive ever owned and way faster than it looks

I just bought a 1996 Chrysler New Yorker with 72 thousand miles it has been sitting for 10 years in a garage and it has never seen snow the car is in great shape

How's your dad doing?

In Trump's home town of NYC we call that a three body trunk...

Chrysler was going to make these rear drive thats why the engine faces that way(like a rear drive car).. Chrysler had a Dodge Intrepid with a 360 (5.9) V-8 and rear drive...but they never put it into production.. These are reliable cars,the solenoid is the only issue with these ,maintain them they last 300,000 miles..Same engineer who made the LA small block 273,318,340,360 designed the 3.3 and 3.5 these are bulletproof reliable engines ! Solenoid the car sell it ,or sell as is see what happens if you get any bites ! People want them as they know they last ! Only GM,Ford,Import guys say Chrysler's are junk.....Chrysler people call all those other cars junk !! I lots of GM,Ford and Honda,Toyota owners into Chrysler owners and fans !! I own a late model car dealer and all brands have problems !! Chrysler's are very good cars,if they were junk I would say so..Hell,Honda's are the worst along with Subaru !!! Toyota's are over rated !!

These are fantastic! I'd love to buy one as a first car.

it's the lockup of the torque converter. This is a keeper!

Worked for Chrysler Dodge in the 90s eagle premier is the brother

Radio is from the updated LHS, but still.... dibs

WESC 92.5? Man we're practically neighbours

the Chrysler looking pretty nice still the styling sooo American it's from the time with good build quality Why in Side scrapyard its way too Nice

Fix her!!

"Chrysler is garbage" he says, driving around a 200K mile car with everything working on it. I had a 1994 that I finally got rid of at 265K miles. Still had the original starter, exhaust, and ran well. Never a problem with the windows, power locks, keyless entry. Aside from the flimsy tie rod ends that I replaced twice in the more than a decade that I owned the car, and a transmission rebuild, it was the most comfortable, reliable car I've ever owned. Handled very nice too.

I used to have a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron and I loved it

Omg my mom had one of these when I was a kid. But it was called a Concorde. That car was amazing!!

Oh yeah!! I had one in high school

This one survived quite well for a Chrysler.

The 3.5L engine was a very good engine as long as you did the belt service every 100k. I had two 300Ms that were bullet proof reliable in the time I had them. I bet that engine would easily go to 300k without much effort. Too bad about the crappy transmissions Chrysler put in their cars during this time period.

theres gotta be a fuse you can pul to test it

I loved mine.

Yes they are electronic torque converter.

You can tell the year by the oval exhaust tips. In 96 they were round. I believe this cars 3.5 24 VALVE engine is around 214 hp. Nice car. Fix the trans problem good to go. Also put in a new internal water pump and timing belt. If the timing belt breaks the valves drop into the pistons.

Totally different world when that car rolled off the lot. Dodge had just released the ram bodystyle of the future. Chrysler was still respected

Give it to me, I love land yachts

Definitely worth a fixin

decent car.

If it is a simple fix, fix it and put it up for sale. $700 cash and its sold.

what is it with your obsession with switches in the car ...why do u need to push the heck out of the cruise control switch or any other switch .. i never based my decision on a car depending on the buttons .......u seem obsessed with touching every switch when u sit in any car...also why once u get a car started just let it run why do u have to mash accelerator to the floor over and over ...i rather see u get junked car started and drive around the lot some and yes show inside of car but not 15 minutes of u pressing buttons to say they press like the buttons are cheap ...

Ideal first car for a kid, it will teach them humility. Buy it by the pound and can't lose money on it.

My grandfather had one. I remember driving it when I went down to NC to visit.

If I was local, I'd snag that lhs right away. What's with all the Chrysler hatred, Jay?

Damn Jay that is actually in really good shape! I have a 93 Intrepid a few years back and loved it! The 214 horsepower 3.5s were actually great motors, and were surprisingly quick for the 90s cars, even quicker than 75% of the 2000s sedans. Rode like a cloud, handled pretty well for a large domestic sedan, had soooo much room inside, had a blast furnace for a heater (honestly it’s still to this day the best heater of any car I’ve ever driven) fit and finish were actually pretty damn good for a Chrysler product, and the engine never ever missed a beat up to 167,000 miles when the tranny took a dump, for the second time while owning the car, so I sold it and bought a ‘94 Corolla. Really the only downside to these Chrysler LH cars was the transmissions. I loved the car, just didn’t want to pay another $1200 to get the transmission rebuilt just 2 years after having it rebuilt before lol If the tranny can be fixed properly I’d sell it (or even keep it for a little, have to go on at least one road trip to fully understand these cars) Whether it’s you or someone else, this car will definitely make someone really happy! (Oh and the 3.5 calls for 89 octane, we’ll at least my ‘93 did)

I really like those Chryslers. But id like the collum shift ones more with a Bench seat

I still got a 94 New Yorker. I'm still driving it, And I love it! I am going to hang on to it as LONG as possible!

I'm looking from parts from that kind of car for my Intrepid

Surprised it doesn't have a bid ole dent right on the trunk lid!! Most I ever seen including mine had one.

i would keep that

Gotta hand it to Chrysler. Over the years, they had some beautiful body styles and interiors. This one included. Hope someone saves it, just because.

LHS Large Hunka S***!!! This one was well taken care of, and should be fixable, with more life left in it. What happened to the Blue Towncar?? No Vid???

Do you have any Mazda truck rims
