1988 Pontiac Bonneville LE review from North America
"AWESOME!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went a few times, bought a new one the last time, not rebuilt.
Cam sensor was hard to diagnose, had to pull the whole cam cover off to replace a $14. magnet.(canadian)
General comments?
I LOVE my Bonneville, I have professionally bought and sold a lot of vehicles, NONE, compare to this beauty.
