1987 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"Perfect for getting you from A to B"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Alternator died.
2. Battery died.
3. Exhaust system had to be replaced.
4. Ignition problems which caused a new ignition coil and sensor to be replaced.
5. Radiator leaked.
6. The gas meter's full point is at the halfway mark.
7. New struts only.
General comments?
This car was first owned by my dad for 11 years, and then was passed on to me. None of the repairs listed above were done during those 11 years. This was a huge plus to the car. The car is not the fastest car, but has just enough power. I like box-shaped cars, so I actually liked the look of it.
While living in Canada, there was no way to keep this car from rusting. This is also a very comfortable car. The bench seats are awesome.
Despite the repairs needed on the car, none of them were really major, by this I mean they were all under $150 (canadian) dollars, except for the exhaust system replacement.
Not once has it given me trouble starting in the winter. It is a perfect car if you want something that will drive you places.
Lastly, a down side to this car is the fact that it can't really handle speeds over 120 km/h very well.
