1990 Pontiac LeMans Le Aerocoupe 1.6 from North America
Summary:
Once you get it running, it's a great car
Faults:
Top anti-freeze hose.
Door hinge.
Tires.
Head gasket.
Brake rotor.
Drive shaft.
Tie rod.
Tail pipe.
Front turn signal.
Wiper blades.
All of the things I have listed have been fixed. All of the repairs were between five to 150 dollar fixes. The things you can do yourself I recommend you do yourself. The car also needs a paint job, but you have to keep in mind that the car is 14 years old. The cars is going to need replacing of old parts no matter who makes it.
General Comments:
I bought my car from a lady who posted it in the newspaper. She didn't want it any more, so I bought it for 600 dollars cash. This is really a great car for 600 bucks, I want to get so much done for it, but since it is not a common car you see around, it's hard to get sporty things for it.
Other than that, I have not had any trouble with my Pontiac Lemans Le Aerocoupe. I only had a tire blowout on me, and that was because they were 14 years old. I had them all replaced in a week.
Also make sure to change oil every 3000 miles and get it tuned-up. It helps a lot. Just basically follow your maintenance schedule and your car should last a long time.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Hello I am considering to buy a used 91 Pontiac Optima. It was the very 1st time I heard of that car so I came and looked up on INTERNET and even there is very little. I am in the Montreal area and I would like to get in touch with some other Optima owner. I am concerned reading that replacement parts might be a problem. Advice please. Thanks a lot.
