1989 Chevrolet Celebrity 4dr sedan review from North America
"I wish todays cars were as reliable as this one. Very dependable as most 80's Chevys are"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It was wrecked and salvaged, whoever fixed it did a worthless job, I had to put it in shop before I could drive it to replace the front drivers side spindle and have it aligned.
Then it wouldn't start, so I towed it to another shop just to find out it was spark plugs, so I did a full tune up on it.
Had a bubble form in a tire, so I replaced all 4 tires.
Started overheating, replaced thermostat, flushed radiator, replaced temp sensor, fan motor, then finally just wired up a toggle switch directly to fan.
Trunk lid rusting out, leaks, I covered it with duct tape (well it works...)
General comments?
Very very good car, runs and drives great, goes over 450 miles on a tank of gas on the highway.
It's comfy and very fast.
The A.C. doesn't work, but hey it's pretty old...
Once I got the proper maintenance done, that had been neglected, not one problem.
Probably won't ever get rid of it, it will always be there to back me up.
