1989 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe review from North America
"One of GM's Best!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Digital speedometer worked intermittently when I bought the car, replaced it with one from a wrecking yard ($50.00), no problems since. Oil seal leak needed repair (300.00). Fuel pump replaced ($90.00 for pump; I installed it myself).
General comments?
For such a high mileage car, it runs, drives, and looks great. Styling still looks contemporary. Uses virtually no oil. Excellent handling and good power. Very comfortable; no rattles. Totaling the purchase price and mentioned repairs, I only have about $1500.00 in this car. I have owned newer cars, but this is my favorite. My next car will be another Grand Prix!
