Transmission failed at 63,000 miles.
Second alternator replaced at 93,000 miles.
Air conditioning system has needed charging often.
The paint is starting to peel off in large sheets.
Prone to diesel+ing in cold weather.
This car previously owned by my grandmother has been a steady and dependable vehicle.
Handles better and rides more comfortably than my 95 Caprice.
Extremely sturdy.
Easy for my local mechanic to work on.
Other than the transmission and paint problems, this has been a cheap car to operate.
My 1984 Caprice is the best car to date that I have ever owned! I put a 1979 engine from a wagon in it and the car has not caused me any problems whatsoever!
My 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic has almost 200,000 miles on it and it's still running like a champ!
My local repair shop rebuilt my original AC system converting it to R134 for substantially less than I thought it would cost. It runs great at 107,000.
