Faults:

The frame of the car needed some welding work when I bought it, but nothing other than the usual tires and brake work has gone wrong so far.

General Comments:

This car was the best deal I ever got! I paid releatively little for it because it was older, but it has run perfectly for the last year and has cost me next to nothing in the process. It drives well, looks alright, and is even pretty good on gas.

Faults:

An ignition pack blew at 180K miles.

Put a new radiator in at the same time.

The car would eat alternators.

The paint fell off. It was gray, but is now primer gray LOL. I never got around to painting it.

General Comments:

Got the car from my Aunt.

For 184K, the car ran like a champ (original engine/transmission).

My girlfriend now has it. I am hoping it lasts for her.

Faults:

(O'2) oxygen sensor just started going out.

At 40 mile an hour it jumps like it has not enough gas coming to it.

Radiator cap is broken.

Muffler is loud and the weld is rusting.

Little bit of rust on the body not too bad.

The belt is cracking not to good.

For what I think the drivers seat is not soft. The seats don't lean back and I'm a tall man so that bites.

The center arm rest is getting loose.

When it starts up in the morning s the RPM go up high and then slowly go down.

Fast and sharp turning. I like that.

General Comments:

For being so old it drives like it was just built. It's my first car so I can't complain to much.

Faults:

Had to change my radiator after driving 300,000 km.

Had to replace my brake pads after 270,000km.

General Comments:

This car has a lot of power and it handles really good. The interior is in perfect condition and I get many compliments on it. A tiny bit of rust but nothing major.

The most kick I got out of this car is by blowing away those slick looking Civics and Jetta's at stop lights. They spend good 5K on souping up their cars (which growls) and my 11 year boat just blows it away! Ha ha Ha-ha!

I don't think I'll ever sell this car.. This is my baby and I am gonna keep it in my garage.. probably sell it after 20 years (when people are ready to pay handsome amount for an antique)

Faults:

In 1996, replaced alternator.

In 1998, replaced fuel pump.

In 1999?, new brake pads.

In 2000, I had to replace the plastic seal around the rear window. It wasn't leaking, but the original plastic seal was starting to peel and stick up. I didn't mind because she was easy to find in a parking lot. Friends and family were not amused by it.

General Comments:

This was the first car I ever owned. My dad liked her because she is big and boxy and because she has low miles. We call her the goolie because that 6000LE label looks like GOOOLE if you look at it from a distance.

She is like a tank. Keeps on driving like one (goes and goes and goes). Handles like one. NEVER try to angle into a tight parking spot with an '89 goolie.

I am currently shopping for a truck because that is more practical for my life now. If anyone is looking for a goolie, please let me know. I would love for her to go to someone who will take care of her.
