1990 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 305 V8 from North America
Faults:
Had to replace radiator at about 80,000 miles.
Replaced it again at about 20,000 miles later (the deer needed more than a radiator though!)
Replaced the water pump at about 150000.
And last, but not least the alternator at about 235000.
Lost the rear windshied wiper blade to a car wash.
The power antenna stopped working several years ago.
The power door locks quit at about 200,000 miles (short in the passenger side door wiring that I will fix sometime)
General Comments:
The car has 237000 miles on it -- starts everyday goes forward, backward, and around corners. Driving it is like driving your living room sofa down the street comfortable, roomy and even with a lot of miles, the v-8 still pulls well and delivers reasonable gas mileage.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I just picked up a 1990 Chevy Caprice 9C1 RARE 5.7 HO. Fuel injected 350, it has all the heavy duty stuff, it was the local fire marshals service car for the last 17 years and only has 93K on it. Its white with mint condition blue cloth interior, it looks like no one has ever even sat in it. It has the push bumpers and spotlight still on it. Merry Christmas to me...
