1983 Chevrolet Citation review from North America
"GM GARBAGE"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car ran but did not shift properly and used up transmission oil. When the weather started warming up it started running hot. Never did fix the problem, turned out to be a cracked head. Not worth fixing.
General comments?
Bought the car for $200 from the high school auto shop. Was owned by a local little old lady, so the car was in like new condition, but that didn't hold it back from being a serious piece of garbage. Car ended up dead and in the junk yard a year after buying it.
