General Comments:

Got this car handed down to me. Some people are asking me if I want to sell it. I am trying to find the sale value of this car, so I can get rid of it. Anyone know where to look?

Faults:

I've only had the car about 10 months so not too much.

The alternator went out at 133,000 miles.

Water Pump went out at 139,000 miles.

When I bought this car, I had to replace almost every gasket as oil was slowly seeping out of any possible place.

Brakes had to be replaced.

General Comments:

I am a big fan of Chevrolet and an even bigger fan of x 11's! I bought this car in February 2003 for 500$ cash, I took the time to see the difference from a regular citation to a x 11 and these are the differences.

The x-11 has a working cowl induction hood, along with a spoiler, and x-11 graphics on the bottom of door, and hatch.

It has a 140HP H.O. 2.8L v6, and was a very fast car for its day.

But there is something about this car that is even good to modern comparisons.

I owned a 1982 corvette, and I swear an x-11 would totally out corner it, if the tires are pumped up right it can take corners like a Ferrari!

I also love the styling of my x 11 it is a truly awesome car for its time, and if a ricer wants to give you a run for his money, he might get you off the line, but, if you find a corner, its over...

My 81' X-11 is in good shape for its age, the interior is GREAT, and there is very little rust on the body for an Ohio car.

All in all this car is worth every penny, the poorest of the poor would have a blast being able to afford one.

I recommend the Chevy X-11 to any sports car enthusiast.

Faults:

The engine valve cover gasket is bad and requires replacement, it leaks oil.

The headliner is sagging badly, I put thumbtacks in it to keep it up.

The air conditioner does not work at all, I will probably just take it out, I like windows better anyway.

The brakes are terrible, they need immediate replacement.

The battery is draining for some reason if I leave it connected for a few days while I'm not driving it, it will die.

The paint was almost halfway gone from peeling when I bought it. I have repainted it for 100$, and it looks great now.

The interior needs some work things fall apart, like the knobs on the radio, and the windshield wiper knob.

Steering column is stripped, The previous owner said someone tried to steal it. That's OK with me its one less key to lose.

The window seals need replaced they leak water.

The parking brake is rusted in place.

The dashboard is very poorly lit at night.

It has the original spark plugs in it and they are rusted in place, they won't come off.

General Comments:

I bought this car from a man for 100$.

I already have a 1988 Chevy Eurosport VR for the summer, I use the Citation in the winter.

This car has some problems like I listed, but I really like it. It gets insane gas mileage for a 22 year old car, I hardly ever have to fill it up.

The seats are extremely comfortable, they are like a couch, and the power steering is excellent. I can turn the car with one finger.

The one thing I don't like about the car is performance. The four cylinder engine has no balls, it is very slow to acceleration. It will go about 100mph on a highway though.

I also like the way it is shaped, everyone else said it was ugly, but after I painted it, puts neons in it, chrome hubcaps, a wing, an x-11 hood, and gold trim, people love it.

If you want a nice economical car that is comfortable get a Citation, if you don't care about performance you'll like it.
