1987 Chevrolet Nova LC review from North America
"Reliable low-cost transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speedometer cable has been replaced twice.
Rear window defogger stopped working around 80K miles; contact pulled away from window. Local mechanic unable to re-cement successfully.
General comments?
Timing chain replaced at 100K miles.
Clutch replaced once.
Air conditioner *still* working - no service needed.
Replaced headliner at 90K miles.
Recovered seats at 130K miles.
Normal maintenance has been about the only real cost for the car.
Everything except the rear window defroster still working.
Would like more acceleration - noticeably reduced around 140K - but still does the job.
