1988 Pontiac LeMans AeroCoupe Value Leader review from North America

"A lemon......."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter.

Alternator.

CV joint.

Battery (due to alternator failure).

Windshield wiper motor.

Timing belt.

BRAKES (horrible horrible brake design I may add).

Rotors.

All 4 wheel cylinders/pistons for the brakes.

All the wheel bearings.

Strut assembly.

Heater core.

Heater motor (still not working).

Fan.

Horn.... hmmm that's about it for now :)

General comments?

Not a bad car for what I gave for it ($500 US). But this car was made in South Korea, thus making any and all parts for this car very expensive.

The design of the brakes is horrid, I mean hello people, you cannot expect a phillips head screw to hold a rotor on a assembly, any idiot knows this.

The car has no insulation so you can hear the noisy engine all the time unless you crank the awsome Delco radio that likes (I pitched my factory radio) to blow the awsome Delco speakers :)

Whoever designed this car was not thinking about the people that would be driving this piece of crap. This is a great example of making something for a profit and nothing else :) Plain and simple.
