1989 Chevrolet Beretta GT review from North America
"A very dependable, fast car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump was replaced before I bought the car at 270,000 miles.
The radiator had been replaced before I bought the car at 279,000 miles.
I was the 3rd. owner of this wonderful car, and the battery has only been replaced four times.
I replaced the alternator at 330,000 miles.
I had to replace the original heater core at 330,000 miles.
I replaced the air conditioner line and recharged the air conditioner at 335,000 miles.
I replaced the headliner when I bought the car.
The dash and door panels were in poor condition. The dash was warped and cracking, and the door panels were falling apart.
The paint (black) had very minor peeling.
The only reason I sold the car, is because at 400,000 miles the car formed a minor oil leak. The leak was coming from a seal located where the distributer would be on the distributer type motor.
That's all for having 402,000 miles on it.
General comments?
My Beretta GT was a very dependable, and fast car.
This car handled like a pro.
I loved my Beretta GT, and I regret getting rid of it.
