Not much has gone wrong with this car. I was a Ford man myself until I met my wife who owned this wagon with 223,000km on it. I thought for sure it was going to pack it in in a few years; Boy, was I wrong.

Parts are generally cheap and can be done by non-dealership mechanics.

Major things that I've replaced over the years include: alternators, water pumps, computer chip and a head gasket leak - the gasket was the biggest repair at 271,000 km. The GM paint job is a maroon 'sandpaper' finish.

The driver's door has fallen off and a few buttons are starting to fall apart. The left signal arm must be turned off manually. The turn signals blink about once every 4 seconds! But the radio still works!!

Other than that, the usual wear and tear: tires, brakes, belts, fuses, etc.

General Comments:

This car is fast, even for its age. Our teenage daughter, unbeknownst to us, 'dragged' this car with her dingbat boyfriend at local intersections after she acquired her driver's license.

Now our 21-year old son drives it locally only. Not suitable for highway driving anymore.

If only they built Chevy's like this nowadays! I don't care about the styling, actually. I would buy another one like this in a heartbeat!

Faults:

Nothing mechanical. In over 2 yrs, only replaced belt and brakes. Seat belts don't retract, temp gauge not working.

General Comments:

This is a very reliable car.

It does get a bit shakey when going past 70.

Faults:

It was wrecked and salvaged, whoever fixed it did a worthless job, I had to put it in shop before I could drive it to replace the front drivers side spindle and have it aligned.

Then it wouldn't start, so I towed it to another shop just to find out it was spark plugs, so I did a full tune up on it.

Had a bubble form in a tire, so I replaced all 4 tires.

Started overheating, replaced thermostat, flushed radiator, replaced temp sensor, fan motor, then finally just wired up a toggle switch directly to fan.

Trunk lid rusting out, leaks, I covered it with duct tape (well it works...)

General Comments:

Very very good car, runs and drives great, goes over 450 miles on a tank of gas on the highway.

It's comfy and very fast.

The A.C. doesn't work, but hey it's pretty old...

Once I got the proper maintenance done, that had been neglected, not one problem.

Probably won't ever get rid of it, it will always be there to back me up.

Faults:

The fuel pump is bad and the dashboard is begin to broken.

The radio is not good.

Seats wear badly from early time.

General Comments:

With high performance and high reliability.

It's air condition is very good.

I purchased the vehicle from an individual for 250.00. Being 18 years old, the seats are worn, the back seat is tearing away from its mounts, but all of those things are typical for a vehicle 18 years old. Personally, I've not had any trouble with it.

General Comments:

It looks like a box.
