To the best of my knowledge the U.S. automakers stop making
replacement parts after 10 years. For them to work on something
older means they will probably spend more time tracking down parts. It
also means your car has the potential to sit in their yard longer while waiting
for those parts to arrive. Also, each dealership’s service writers know the
capability of their current staff of mechanics. If their oldest mechanic
is under 30 years of age, he’s probably never worked on a car with points.
Again it boils down to time and money. It’s not that the young
mechanic is not smart enough to figure out how to repair your Imperial. The
dealership is not willing to spend to time and money for him to go through the
learning curve for a one time repair. It has nothing to do Chrysler China.
It has to do with economics. Ken 67 Crown 4 Dr Ht 68 LeBaron 4 Dr Ht From:

[mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Whitney Went to a
five-star dealer in Richmond, Calif., over the weekend with an electrical
problem and was firmly told they do not do any work on cars more than 15 years
old. The rest of the conversation is immaterial, the service writer was
adamant and told me this after emerging from the servive manager's
office. Does this mean we're all officially "orphaned" by
Chrysler China?
