1985 Pontiac Grand Prix LX review from North America

"A complete waste of time and especially money."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The radiator leaked constantly.

The radiator hose burst, ruining the insulation on the underside of the hood.

The oil fill cap never stayed on, it always vibrated loose, causing hot oil to go everywhere under the hood.

The car took what seemed to be forever to get it started in the morning, especially when it was cold outside.

Once the car finally did start, you had to sit with your foot on the gas pedal for a good 3 or 4 minutes or it would stall out.

Finally on day the engine locked up, I sold the car for scrap.

General comments?

The car was a good one if you like spending hours fixing it, shelling out ridiculous amounts of money, and almost always needing to be towed home.

The only good thing that came from owning the car was that I made $100 on it when I sold it for scrap.
