1986 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham review from North America
"A classic car that continues to impress"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering wheel needed tightening. Power window and door locks needed replaced. Water pump went out at 125,000 miles. Minor rust on trunk and hood and wheel wells. Air conditioning no longer works. Replaced heat control valve myself for only $10.
General comments?
This car is like a La-Z-Boy on wheels. On the highway with 125,000 miles it still rides like a dream. Still has power to spare and will light the tires on demand. Very dependable, had it 3 years and starts 1st time.Stock AM/FM radio still has a beautiful sound.
