1988 Chevrolet Beretta review from North America
"Awesome cheap car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cat plugged up, car wouldn't run. So I got it for $300.
Oil pressure sending unit went bad - they are a bear to change.
Oxygen sensor went out.
EGR valve went out.
Had a coil pack go out. Impossible to get at, as it's under the intake manifold.
Paint was peeling really bad. Dash is all warped and headliner is falling down.
General comments?
I've spent maybe $400 in parts, but nothing has been serious. Seats are comfy. Car drives nice, handles a little bit sloppy, but it's a Beretta. I would take it anywhere.
