1996 - 2000 Plymouth Breeze Pre-Owned

Unfortunately the Breeze suffered from a considerable number of recalls, nine in total. All nine affected 1996 models, while four recalls affected 1997 model year cars, two 1998 models and only one in 1999. While these would have been dealt with when recalled, this doesn't necessarily mean that current cars won't be dependable. In actuality they're pretty decent, due to a fairly simple, straightforward setup compared to today's sophisticated midsize cars.

In essence the Plymouth Breeze makes for a great used car buy, a bit less expensive than its Chrysler and Dodge siblings and a lot cheaper than similarly sized imports.
