1990 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"Indistructable, reliable, and still fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I paid $500 for it, and it needed a bit of work, not much though for its age:
- Ball joints
- Battery
- Stabilizer bar
- Brake lines, pads and rotors.
There is a small oil leak right now, but I really don't care about it. It's a seal (I forget what exactly) and it's about $300 to fix (labor intensive). It only drops a quart about once a month and it doesn't burn oil.
General comments?
I really like this car, and I'm in the process of restoring it to be like new.
It looks like crap because it needs a paint job (some surface rust and peeling), the previous owner didn't maintain it well, but it's the most reliable car I have ever owned!
It handles exceptionally, and has a lot of get up and go. It's funny blowing away those silly sticker/spoiler/crap covered Civics at stop lights. They spend $5000 on souping (is that how you spell it?) up their cars and my 11 year old family sedan blows it away! Hahahahah!
This car is a tank, it doesn't let anything get in its way. I think the only way to destroy it would be to drive it off a cliff (and then it would probably still drive away! Well, maybe not, but you get the point...)
I love my car and I treat it very well, and I hope that it hits at least 400 000 kms before I have to part with it.
