1983 GMC S-15 review from North America
"Decent little first truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the truck the entire engine had to be rebuilt because the idiot before me started it with no oil in it. Since then I have had to replace all the shocks at 190,000 miles and the interior is in shambles I have replaced the tires once and had it aligned at 210,000 miles also the ac doesn't work. I replaced the heater core at 200,000 miles.
General comments?
It was my first car, but I don't really like it. I don't drive eratically, but only manage 200miles to a tank of gas. It was in horrible shape when I got it, but I put a new stereo and speakers in it. I am looking to buy a Pontiac Bonneville.
