1988 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"A reliable, well-priced, and powerful car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just typical Canadian climate rusting such as the gas tank, fuel lines and body panels (Due to lack of undercoating).
The alternator went at about 130,000KM (The only time it broke down and wasn't driveable).
A fuel injector port was replaced at about 135,000KM.
The computer was replaced at about 150,000KM.
General comments?
This car has been very reliable. It will drive over 700 kilometers in one day without any problem.
The car has a lot of power for a V6 and is still quite peppy even after 14 years.
All it all, I am very satisfied with this car and will definitely buy another Chevrolet. I plan to keep it running for as long as I can. The way this car is going now, it will be over 20 years old before it is no longer worth repairing. Definitely a good buy!
