1989 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"First good car we had in a long time!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We just bought the car. So far we have experienced trouble with the following.
We need to replace the power steering pump.
The combination lock for the glove compartment is froze, broken hinge.
The dual exhaust is in need of total replacement.
We are going to give it a tune up.
The interior has one hole in it except the roof covering needs redone.
It needs a new paint job. Paint finally starting to peel.
Nothing is wrong with car, but check engine light stays on.
So far no trouble with the dash board. Still same one.
General comments?
I feel we will have lots of fun with this car. It has a lot of potential. If my hubby will let me, I would like to get it ready for show. We want to make it a quad exhaust. Do a new paint job. Highway mileage is good ranges from 20 to 25mpg. The Body is solid. Without being tuned up it squawks tire.
No hesitations.
