1986 Chevrolet Celebrity Estate Station Wagon review from North America
"A very expensive to maintain average old car; get an import"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the radiator at 60,000 miles.
Replaced the alternator at 78,000 miles.
I had the belts, hoses, water pump, and gasket replaced at 82,000 miles.
The front brake pads went at 82,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has a nice quilted interior and runs well when it is not in the shop. But the repairs I've had to do on it have exceeded the worth of the car.
Also, it gets lousy mileage.
