This car rates up there with the early 80's Malibu as one of the best (& cheapest) I've ever owned!

1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham review from North America

"A quality automobile"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed Alternator 112k.

Starter 132k.

A/C needed a recharge 126k.

Exhaust from catalytic converter back 143k.

New shocks 150k.

Carburetor rebuild 150k.

Carpet is wearing, will replace with thicker pile carpeting.

Cassette deck needs a belt.

Headliner needed to be replaced.

Only rust is starting at inner door bottoms.

General comments?

This is one solid car!

Close to being a Cadillac with all the options and features.

Acceleration is surprisingly good due to transmission gearing.

Gas mileage is OK, but with 22 gallon fuel tank you can drive it for a very long time before the next refill.

305 seems like a great motor delivering adequate power and decent gas mileage, also easy to work on with carburetor.

Interior very nice, like a living room on wheels, very open and roomy.

Enjoyable to drive, doesn't feel dated or cheap like a Camaro or Celebrity from the same time period might.

Sound system sounds good.

A good car to hold onto, with regular maintenance I bet it'll last a long time.

Still has a nice look about it with vinyl top, dark blue paint and wire wheels.

Clean-cut styling still looks good

Would buy another in the future given the chance.
