1988 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"A buck twenty like nothing, ask the local law"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank sensor went bad about 10,000 miles ago.
Tranny starting to slip at 180,345 miles.
Drivers seat recliner gear died (cost $80).
General comments?
Couldn't ask for a better four door race car.
Even with a bad tranny I've never been the loser.
All together my SSE is one bad mofo.
