My great grandfather bought the car in 1988 brand new. My grandad drove it, my dad drove it, and now I am driving it. Going to this tank of a car from my 1991 F-150 was definitely an experience, but I sure am glad I did. Electric seats and windows, automatic headlamps, all pluses. 0-60 timing was a lousy 15 seconds, but then again, you have to remember, these cars weren't built for performance. Cruising along at 70 mph, you barely feel a thing unless it's real windy out.

It's to the point where I'm pretty much collecting the model, getting ones for parts, and then getting ones to restore. Overall, it's just an amazing car, even if I hated the body style at first. It grows on you. If you can get one, GET IT. You won't be disappointed.

Faults:

Rusty body and exhaust.

Oil leaks.

Alternator

My grandparents owned this car when I was growing up for many years. In the summer of 1998 I went with them on a cross country trip in it. At the time it had 162000 miles on it. My Grandmother was afraid it would break down, but the old car never skipped a beat. By the time we got back home I remember them remarking how good of a car it was and how they got their money's worth out of it. Still drove it years after that and was still running good when they got rid of it. Said it never gave them any major problem. A well built American car.

Faults:

Factory stereo died, probably due to lack of use by the previous owner. Maybe it was just a fuse, but I replaced it with an aftermarket Sony USB head unit and aftermarket speakers.

Tailpipe rusted out, replaced it.

Apart from that just maintenance like oil changes, tires, etc.

I bought this car from the original owners, a retired couple that were too old to drive it anymore. This car was absolutely mint, white on blue interior, and I loved it right away.

It was well maintained, garage stored, and had less than 110k on it. I only paid $2000 for it, and I've put about 60000 problem free kilometers on it since then.

The car still looks and works like new. It is super smooth, quiet inside, powerful and extremely reliable. Starts every time, and never leaves you stranded.

Brakes are excellent. All power options and lights still work. Steering and alignment are still perfect. Transmission shifts smoother than any other car I've owned. The car has also never failed emissions testing ever. No rust, paint is like new, all chrome is intact and shines like new.

No complaints at all about this car. It is everything I want in a car. No issues, not even small things, to mention.

Gas mileage is great on the highway, but so so in the city. However the money you save on repairs and maintenance, more than makes up for it, and this car will save you money in the long run.

Rear wheel drive makes for impressive handling at high speeds and on curvy roads. A real treat to drive, rear wheel drive makes for a much more enjoyable driving experience in my opinion.

5.0 liter EFI engine provides more than adequate power for day to day driving. Not a race car, but has tons of power at highway speeds, and accelerates very quickly at highway speeds.

Super comfortable interior, and I like the dual front power seats. Interior is still mint and looks like new. Very comfortable for long highway trips.

I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable, problem free, super tough car, and appreciates quality, luxury and comfort. They sure don't make cars like this any more, and probably never will.

Buy one if you can.
