I just purchased a 95 LeBaron GTC Convertible with 62k miles. It is running great as of right now! Not having any issues so far. It is a great car over my Ford Contour which I was driving before.
I just have a few questions about the car from people who have experience with it.
In comparison to my 4-cyl Contour, when I push down on the accelerator pedal, it feels resistant at first, but then gets easier to push down. This causes the car sometimes to jerk forward after waiting at a light or something. Is this normal? Just have to get used to a v6's power? Haha.
One of my rear windows is sticky, regulator is bad or something, won't go all the way down, is this something I could fix myself or should I take to my mechanic? I have a pretty good knowledge fixing cars.
There is a small crack between my driver's side window and the weather stripping where it meets the little back window, can this be fixed myself, like can I bend it out a bit, or does it just need new weather stripping?
Thanks guys and I'm sure I'll be back here soon enough! I seem to have the worst luck with cars....no matter which ones I buy, new or used. :(

Sounds like tis just getting used to the power.. I have trouble when i drive wifes little ford after me truck..
Window regs probably sticking.. they do that.. pain to get out.. trim etc.. held in by couple o 3/8th / 10mm bolts.. theres a connector at the bottom you need to unclip.. get it on a bench.. dont undo cover on regulator or the winder will pop out just use oil to free it off.. you might hafta separate the motor and free it and use a 12v source to run in in both directions as bushes might have siezed and need cleaning.. give yerself a day min to play with it..
