1988 Pontiac Bonneville SSE review from North America
"Great car even with after 13 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car was in quite bad shape when I bought it. Half of it's lifetime it has been in Florida and in 1997 it was shipped over to Finland. The use of the car has been careless.
Most work has been to rebuild it in original shape after somebody did try to service it in the wrong way/parts.
Now after many work hours and some new parts everything seems to be working right. Biggest problem was in the wheel adjustment after a bumper replacement. There has not been any problem with the engine.
It has been easy to work with it!
General comments?
The car is great! Luxury is wonderful and it's good to drive. Fuel economy is in balance with the car weight and engine.
I think I will never sell it after this work?
