  Chrysler commentary - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By Boisebanker - March 3 - 2:00 am

  We owned this car for slightly over one year. Bought it used with 60k miles. It ran fine until a relay failed on the cooling fan, which led to a cascade of overheating issues, ultimately causing head warping. The car was in the repair stall more that in our garage for 3 month, at which time we sold it and bought another Oldsmobile.

  Too Many Break-downs and Costly Repairs - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By J.A.G. - February 19 - 2:00 am

  I picked up payments on my LHS from my father (who wanted a new 300M). He bought the LHS new & had no problems w/ it prior to my buying it w/ 32,000 miles on the car. It did great for a while but then.... the AC went out @ 62,000 miles. Then the water pump went out causing multiple other problems at ~72,000 miles. Then at ~ 90,000 miles my transmission went out. I have so much in the car now in repairs I dont know whether to keep it or trade it in and take a huge loss. Repairs alone have cost me at least $4,000.

  review of LHS - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By dwight - February 14 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car with 25k, in 2000 and have had excellent service from it. It had a couple of warranty items, but that is all. My only complaint has been it is difficult for me to get into, but so are all the sedans being made today. This one is the least difficult, as I am a very tall and large individual. I would have preferred a vehicle without the moon roof, as it takes away inches in headroom. The newer Chryslers are too low for me.

  Great car for the money - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By bellmar - February 8 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car used ( 1 yr. old ) for $19,000 in 1998. It has been a great car. Lots of room, plenty of pickup. The traction control and anti lock brakes are a plus. Only problem has been warped rotors which may have more to do with the wifes driving than the car. :) As long as you keep up the maintenance you should fare well with this car. Gas mileage is good for such a large car. If they still made this car I would consider buying one again.

  A smooth ride - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By bdscoach - May 27 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car new. After a short test drive, my wife was hooked! Since that time, we have to date put 94K+ miles on it with little trouble. Car is comfortable and I can ride in the back without any legroom issues. Still gets looks with this body style, too bad Chrysler discontinued it in lieu of the cookie cutter style for its big sedans. Huge trunk, good pickup and handling, great gas mileage (can travel from Minneapolis to Chicago on less than a tank)!

  Love My LHS - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By kathie - April 8 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. Roomy, comfortable, great gas mileage, trunk space for two sets of clubs INCLUDING carts! Handles like a dream especially in snow and ice. Chrysler had a good thing going with the LHS and botched it by discontinuing it. A comfortable ride for long trips even for the back seat passenger.

  Bad Rap! - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By jlvl - November 16 - 2:00 am

  In my opinion this car has gotten a bad rap giving it a reputation it doesnt deserve. Ive had mine for 3 years (bought with 27k miles)and have had little trouble of any kind-one recall item which took the dealer two times to fix: not the cars fault. Ive added another 30k. Its a plush, cavernous, comortable, surprisingly powerful and economical sport sedan. If I was concerned about the depreciation I wouldnt buy this one or any American car new. But Id buy another one used in a heart-beat. Its much more car than any (Buick/Olds/Pontiac) comparable GM models.

  Classic Style - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By Nature Boy - August 31 - 2:00 am

  after a rough ride with the dealer upon original purchase (radiator replacement), this car has been a beauty. They styling has always drawn compliments from friends or strangers. The performance is quite snappy for a vehicle of this size. The sliding sunscreen for the moonroof is nice when you dont want that open air feeling and sun in your eyes. Fuel economy has been a pleasant surprise as I am averaging about 21 miles per gallon in city driving.

  OK car, unreliable for "premium"status. - 1997 Chrysler LHS
  By Jerseylen - April 9 - 2:00 am

  $500 tranny overhaul and $300 rotors at 55,000 miles. HVAC control panel and front seat support brackets replaced under warranty. Front end clunking noise when backing up in cold weather. Too much wind noise at highway speeds. Find a good dealer for service work.
