"An excellent commuter or first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1997 - Driver's door lock stopped worked - I repaired that easily.

1998 - Power steering hose blew apart.

2000 - Cigarette lighter was blowing a fuse - I disconnected it and viola - no more problems.

2000 - Rain leaks in from the top of the windshield.

2001 - Driver's door lock (outside key entry) stopped working - I just leave it unlocked.

Continuous - The paint job looks terrible and is getting worse.

General comments?

I purchased this car in 1997 from a state vehicle auction for $2000 for use as a commuting car.

This car, although it looks crappy because of the deteriorating paint, has been extremely reliable. It gets over 30 miles per gallon. I have had only minor repairs.

This front wheel drive vehicle is a great snow car - it just plows right on through. Whenever there is a snow storm I drive this car rather than any of my other vehicles.

It has a noisy engine, which is typical for that type of engine.

Great amount of truck space, even with a full size spare.

Good acceleration for this car, it bucks sometimes when I come to a stop.

I have a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity, it runs great and it has 200,000 miles on it.

The only problem I had was the power steering leaked. Easy to FIX.

I love this car.

Well just bought the 1987 today so was reading reviews.

Mine was a little old lady's car, 33,000 miles and is in show room shape. Drives very nicely and I like the fact that the interior is spartan, not a lot of "extras", just a nice car to get around in.
