1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Price worthy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked Block engine at 207000
My alternator dies at 216000
Transmission problems: lock-up doesn't work so my RPM is always 3000
Leaking gas tank at 203000
Oil pan change at 207000.
General comments?
I love the look of the grand prix SE and it's really comfortable so I don't want to change it even if I got my part of problem with this car, but Pontiac part are cheap and I do the job myself.
