We had an 83 4 door for several years. It was given to us by friends at 83k miles and we ran it to 150,000 before I got tired of fixing things. Aside from a lot of vibration while idling, it wasnt such a bad car; if you were willing to pull the 4 cyl 2.5Liter engine every few years to replace the cam drive gear and other parts, and if you could replace the sensors yourself as they failed. Ours didnt seem to have any options - so had fewer parts to break.
I liked the looks of its front end; the grille, headlights, bumper.
I had a coworker who said his 83 Cimmarron would have been a very good car for me - because I could work on it myself. He bought it new and had it at the dealer for repairs/warranty work for a total of 18 weeks in the first 52 weeks he owned it; then he traded it for a Honda Accord that was reliable.
