1987 Chevrolet Cavalier base review from North America
"Good car, too bad my girlfriend's friend killed it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering rack froze up right after I got it, replaced by dealer under warranty.
Belt broke (serpentine)
Oil pressure sending unit started leaking, cost me 25.00 at the repair shop to get fixed.
Blew the fuel injector (Not the car's fault, bought a tank of that cheap BP gas and it froze up that winter)
THAT'S IT!!!
General comments?
I tell you what, I would buy another one in a minute!!! We flipped this car 7 times END OVER END! God had his hand on that car when it happened, this was a 2 door model and had 4 teenagers in it (we were 16-18 years old) and the only injury was a sprained wrist!! SAFE!!! This happened @ 60 miles per hour. It even still ran after they turned it right side up.
NEVER LET AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON DRIVE YOUR CAR!!!
