1989 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe 2.8 Litre V6 from North America
Summary:
One of GM's Best!
Faults:
Digital speedometer worked intermittently when I bought the car, replaced it with one from a wrecking yard ($50.00), no problems since. Oil seal leak needed repair (300.00). Fuel pump replaced ($90.00 for pump; I installed it myself).
General Comments:
For such a high mileage car, it runs, drives, and looks great. Styling still looks contemporary. Uses virtually no oil. Excellent handling and good power. Very comfortable; no rattles. Totaling the purchase price and mentioned repairs, I only have about $1500.00 in this car. I have owned newer cars, but this is my favorite. My next car will be another Grand Prix!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Come on, I think this guy is exaggerating. Some things I do understand weren't that pleasing, but about the paint thing, GM said that they had problems with the paint and you can get it repainted at little or no cost to you. As well, most cars skid on wet pavement that's nothing new, maybe it's your tires too. Also the car is 15 years old, things will start to go wrong with it, and as for the seatbelt light, it's not a big deal since it's probably just a loose wire or something that can be fixed easily. I do agree that you have some issues with it, but most of them not that big of a deal. I owned a 1989 Grand Prix and never had serious problems with it.
