1985 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"So far I feel good about the purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield washer pump is out.
Passenger door does not open from inside.
General comments?
I was looking for a car for my step-son when I found this car. I searched many car lots and when I saw this car I couldn't believe how good of shape it was in for being a 21 year old car. I only gave $1500 cash for it and it passed inspection without needing any repairs. The guy at the car lot said it is hard to get anyone to buy cars this old regardless of what shape they are in because of their age. After looking at this car and test driving it, I left and looked at many other cars. I eventually went back and bought this car due to it being the best value for the small amount of money I had to spend. The car drives out good and has a surprising amount of power. The inspector told me he had not seen many cars this old that were this clean. I decided to let my step-son drive my car (2001 Hyundai Elantra) and I will drive the Chevy. Parents make many sacrifices for their kids, but I honestly don't mind driving this car as long as it remains reliable.
