"A fine automobile at 3500.00 would never pay full price of new"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bought it used So far no problems. Just that pesty Service Ride Control comes on once in a while. Hit the reset and it's gone not going to shell out a fortune for a little more smotther ride.

Also the ignition key problem is a pain in the neck. Sometimes when you go to start the car the DIC says Theft deterrent system caused car not to start. So ya sit there and count down 3 minutes and hope it will start. Somethimes ya count down a few times. Now if someone was running after me with a club and this happened I got no time to wait 3 minutes to start the thing. I'm outta there lol. Otherwise runs great sometimes hear some type of realy clicking under the glove box give it a smack and it usually goes away.

General comments?

Great car, but has a lot of Annoying messages on the DIC every now and then. A piece of black electric tape across the DIC stops that.

Does your key have a chip in it? You might want to use a different key or clean the existing, as a dirty key will cause that symptom. My 1998 TransAm had that problem.
