Faults:

I had to replace the radiator at 95,000 miles.

The air Conditioner Hoses had to be replaced shortly thereafter.

The motor had to be replaced, because you cannot replace the oil pump. The oil pump is part of the block.

To this current point and time I am still having trouble with the fuel system.

General Comments:

To be totally honest with everyone this car was a blunder by Pontiac. Whenever you have to fix something on the car, you can't just go to the local parts store and pick up whatever you need. The part has to be ordered and is usually very costly.

Faults:

Brakes (had them changed every six months for 4 years).

Rotors & calipers (had them replaced 3 times).

The radiator system blew up. That was my fault.

Had a few oil leaks.

The temperature gauge went. Cost a pretty penny cause it was behind the timing belt.

Oxygen sensors went.

For a period of time, the RPM's would drop when stepping on the brake (mechanic fixed it easily after driving it home and he had it stall on him).

Got to the point where I couldn't put more than two people in the car cause the exhaust system would rattle against the chassis of the car.

No air conditioning from the time I bought it.

General Comments:

The LeMans was my first car ever. I loved it. It was very difficult to part with it, but I ran that little thing into the ground. Had I decided to fix it in the end, I probably could have gotten another couple thousand miles out of it.

It had more than enough cargo space. It had just the right amount of pep I needed in a car at that time. I loved it cause it was so easy to park. I could fit it anywhere. It was sporty too.

The heating system in that little car was better than any of my friend's cars. It could defrost a window in no time flat.

It was my baby. As I said before, if things hadn't started to go wrong with it to the point where it was costing mega bucks, I would have kept the little car. But I got rid of it and now it is probably on some wholesale lot somewhere. Oh well, life goes on.

Faults:

The dash lights didn't work when I got it.

The valve cover gasket leaked.

General Comments:

I bought this car for $600 from a neighbor. It is probably one of the most reliable and most inexpensive to operate cars I have ever owned.

Most of the little problems with this car are ones that you would expect in a 13-year old economy car and were easily repaired in my driveway.. And parts for this car are cheap, too, as many of them are already in the junkyard so spare parts are readily available!
