1990 Chevrolet Caprice police review from North America
"This is the only ride worth making into a cab."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator needed replaced every 3 years.
The water pump needed replaced every 4 years.
I had to replace the upper ball joints every three years.
General comments?
I found that the car held up extremely well even though I drove it hard.
I drove the car in kansas city as a taxi the whole time that I owned it.
I drive extremly hard, always pushing the car to its limit.
Many times I have hit speed bumps at 70mph with no problems.
At 600 thousand no joke I was still getting 19mpg.
I allways ran steel belted radials that were 225/70/15 instead of the original 205/70/15.
The car was extremly quick and would always light em up.
