Faults:

Bad alternator.

Brakes, tires, normal wear and tear.

General Comments:

I received this car from my cousin in the summer. It sat for about 4 months, and even then it started right up. It still starts up every time I need it too. Even though I hate it, and thinks it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen, it has been very faithful to me. It will probably never die. It amazes me how I can fly by people on the highway. That's the one thing I love about it the engine, and acceleration.

Faults:

I needed to replace the front engine mount.

The engine coolant is leaking in the passenger side.

The gas gage is not 100% accurate.

General Comments:

This is my first car that I purchased for $280 just over 1 year ago.

I am still happy that I purchased the car.

The car has not given me any problems yet.

Only things I have had to do to that car so far is regular tune up like oil change, spark plugs changed and ignition wires replaced.

Max speed it 85mph and after 15 years the car still goes to the max. enough power to get you around.

The interior of the car is nice nothing to fancy and good spacing.

Faults:

Have had brakes fail twice, almost exactly a year apart.

Electrical system had several shorts.

Speedometer/Odometer very erratic.

Four-Way lights do not work.

Interior is worn heavily.

Ceiling liner peeling from open-window driving.

General Comments:

It's old, it's huge and heavy, too much so for even the big V4 under the hood. Engine is naturally noisy and acceleration is really awful, but she sails when she's going. She's definitely a highway cruiser.

Tons and tons of interior space.

Nice factory speakers.

Except for issues with the brakes and electrical, the car has been extraordinarily reliable considering it's age. I paid $900 and have put about as much into it (again, the brakes).

I want to replace it simply because I can, but even for it's total lack of aesthetics, it was a much better car than that terrible Sonata I owned previously.

Faults:

When Purchased it needed new brakes to pass inspection.

Alternator died on me at a red light.

Installed new battery and Alternator.

Tape deck was broken when car was purchased. Replaced it with a CD player.

Small area of paint chipping on Roof.

General Comments:

Couldn't have asked for more in a car!

Other than the Alternator failing once this car has never failed me.

Starts every day without hesitation, even in 10 Degree weather.

Most comfortable car I have ever sat in. Velour bench seat is great.

Love the 80's looking dashboard and controls.

Very powerful engine. Drives great on highways and hills. Does 85 MPH with no problem.

The body is in great condition. NO rust after 15 years.

This car is loaded with extra's, such as: Power windows, power door locks, power seats, hood light, cruise control, Max A/C.

Cabin is very spacious. I have fit 6 people in there at a time. Trunk space is very large too.

Car is great on long trips and around town.

Factory speakers are great.

Interior trim looks very fancy. Blue velour.

I have always liked the style of the Celebrity even before I owned one. My father had two of them in the 80's. The visibility is better then most new cars. The engine purrs even when accelerating on highways. I will never part with this car if I don't have to.
