1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Base review from North America

Alternator needed to be replaced after 10,000 miles of ownership, but this is to be expected from a 13-year old vehicle.

Everything else that had gone wrong with the car was basically my fault (adding a nice stereo and leaving my doors unlocked). This car was in nearly perfect shape when I bought it so I went the extra mile and got full coverage for the insurance. The car held up good in a small accident in which the front bumper sustained a small scrape (The Nissan Altima that hit me saw some SERIOUS fender damage.)

This car was approaching high-mileage status when I bought it, but ran like it was brand new. The interior was a velvet/velour-type material that was PERFECT throughout the entire car. Performance was great with a top speed of around 105mph. The car had plenty of space and could fit 4 people comfortably for long periods of time. Since I am relatively tall (6'4), the tilt steering wheel was a definite bonus. The dash and features were great, but also very basic. This car overall was a reliable workhorse and a pleasure to own. It is a shame that Chevy does not implement the same quality measures they did in 1988. This car is just amazing!
