1988 Chevrolet Beretta review from North America
"Did you say Beretta or Crap-fest?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The stater broke at 163,000 miles.
The front wheel squeaks because of unknown causes.
The oil gauge broke, don't know how.
The metal that holds my rear springs in place is rotting away, leaving me wonder about my safety.
The interior went to you know where in a hand basket.
The door panels are constantly loose.
The floor boards rotted out before I owned it.
The odometer stopped working at 173,000 miles so I have somewhere around 210,000 miles now, I believe.
Entire exhaust system fell apart, and that's no good.
General comments?
I believe that I got my $400 worth. It has been a wonderful car for how hard I drive it. It still leaves shocked and amazed that it is still alive and running.
It eats gas like crazy and I have no clue why.
The engine is great though. It's really strong, I'm very surprised.
For how crappy it is. I'm surprised that I am still alive.
But you can't I guess, 400 bucks was a good investment.
