1991 Chevrolet Cavalier RS review from North America
"A complete waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just about everything. It was a junk monkey. I bought it for $5,000, and had it for 3 years. In those three years I put over $5,000 into it.
The head gacket blew after one year, the brakes have been changed twice, the key starter went, and to top it all off, the transmission slowly went, and now there is NO, that's right NO reverse. I'm sure there is more I'm not remembering.
General comments?
Don't ever buy one! I was a poor student at this time, and it gets pretty hard with that much cart maintenance on top of University fees.
