1984 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"Plenty of luxury for the short on cash!! GREAT!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaks oil.
Water pump 160,000.
Muffler 160,000.
Catalytic converter 130,000.
Starter 160,000.
Radiator 120,000.
A/C 120,000.
Sunroof/upper windshield seal leaks.
General comments?
Before 120,000 I do not much about the car, but in between then and 160,000 the car was driven about once a month, hence all the problems once it became a daily driver at 160,000.
Since then, this car has been extremely reliable.
The seats are REALLY REALLY comfortable.
It has quite a bit of quirks like the speedometer squeaking like there is no tomorrow when cold, and you can hear gasoline sloshing around when it's full.
Handles very nicely.
Doesn't have a lot of pep, but it will definitely get up and go!
Original tire size isn't made anymore so I have to play around with sizes.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Highly recommended if you can find a decent one.
