1984 AMC Eagle review from North America
"A sturdy, die-hard tank, that is fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There were transmission fluid leaks.
The valve cover leaks oil.
The CV joints needed replacement.
It needed an oil change and tune-up.
It had a broken driver's side tail light.
General comments?
This is my first car, and I searched for a while before I found an Eagle near me, that I could buy. It had been siting for a while, so it needed a basic check up to get it running smooth. I bought the car for $500, and have fixed all the major problems so far for under $300.
I like this car very much because of the style. That is what drew me in at first. Then I found out about its four wheel drive capabilities, and it seemed like the car for me! It is very comfortable to drive, and I hope it lasts me a long time! I have only had it for about a month and a half, but so far it is a great car!
