1988 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham review from North America
"Great luxury car with performance to match"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I have had have been routine maintenance.
The brakes had to be replaced.
The alternator had to be rebuilt.
General comments?
The 305 produces plenty of power, especially with a K&N air filter. This Caprice handles better than any car I have ever driven, and rides like a dream.
It's amazing to think I only paid $1000.
The exterior lines are clean and unbroken, and the interior has the same treatment. The leather is still in perfect condition.
In addition, the gas mileage is reasonable for such a tank... as long as you stay out of the 4 barrel.
