1991 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America

As soon as I picked up the car I knew it needed exhaust work, and I was right, it had several holes in the exhaust system, but the catalytic converter and the muffler were okay so I was able to get the holes welded and the tailpipe replaced for a total of $135 for parts and labor.

When I got the car it also had pretty extensive surface rust on the quarters right behind the rear wheel wells, and I got that fixed for $100, which is not too bad considering the seller took about $600 off the ebay auction price for that rust.

The Delco bose radio does not work very well at all and needs to have either the amplifier or the head unit or both replaced. I think this will be in the neighborhood of $300-$500.

The car runs and drives very well for a car with 150K miles on it. I has every option available except CD player and sunroof Leather seats are about a 9.5/10, very soft and supple, no tears just a few small scratches. Acceleration is not a thrill ride, but adequate for a comfortable roomy Sunday driver. Also blows Meat locker air conditioning (original R-12, I believe) and blast furnace heat. Pretty bad gas mileage compared to my Park Avenue, the caprice gets about 16-18 MPG, but I guess that's not all that bad for a car of this length, girth and weight.
