1989 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport review from North America
"Best car purchase I ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much:
The DIS (distributor system) went bad two Summers ago (2006).
The original alternator was replaced with an OEM and when that failed, replaced by an after market which is going on 10 years old now.
Cloth seats are starting to show wear, but holding up pretty well.
The paint is oxidized so badly it looks like it is gray primer.
General comments?
Overall, for the $2500 we paid for it when we bought it, it has been the best car purchase I ever made.
I am looking to replace it now because I expect something major to fail (engine or trans) and want to donate it to the American Kidney foundation before I HAVE to have a car.
Like looking for a new job; easier to look for one when you don't need one than having to take the first thing that comes along.
