General Comments:

This was the first car I bought on my own. It was 2 tone brown with brown cloth interior. It had a very quiet and nice ride. Very few squeaks; seemed to be built well.

It was just a base model, but I loved it. I think the only options were the V6 and rear defroster.

Lots of room for 6 people, and the gas mileage was amazing. With a light foot I got about 19 MPG city driving, and no kidding, the highest I got was an exact 30 MPG on the highway! Pretty good considering it was a 30 year old with a carburated engine, and 3 speed automatic with no overdrive! The 112HP 2.8 V6 had enough power for going around town at a decent speed, but the car struggled a bit on steep hills with other people in the car.

This car had its problems, but it was mostly just regular maintenance things needing to be replaced. It sat for a few years before I had bought it. I drove it for 10,000km and sold it less than a year later for double what I originally paid for it!

This was the only 83 Celebrity I ever saw on the road, and I wish I hadn't sold this car. I would buy another one again.
