1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical work was needed when bought.
Tie-rod broke.
Car steering wheel off center.
Lots of static in the radio.
Cloth on the door is water damaged and dry-rotted.
Fuel door is busted. Have to prop up fuel door lever to open.
Coolant light goes on and off.
General comments?
Car runs great for its age.
Underbody is badly rusted, but the upper appearance is good looking. It's not an attractive car any more. Maybe back then it was, but not now, it's just a daily driver and good gas economy, so in the long run I'd drive till it dies.
