1993 Chevrolet Corsica LT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 100,000 miles had a cracked alternator and dead battery. Fixed for $250 dollars.
General comments?
I work for a private non-profit agency and spend 75% of my time on the road in rural Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and NY. This car was bought at a government auction for $5300 in 1996 with 65K miles on it. I believe that I may have got the bargain of the century as it now has 147K miles on it and is still running strong. Other than changing oil every 3000 miles and putting in new shocks and struts in 1996, I have done very little to the car. The car does not look like it has 147,000 miles on it because I keep it clean and wash it regularly. Additionally, it is now equipped with a CD changer, remote starter and phone which can all be transferred into another vehicle if needed. I have resigned myself to start a new car search simply because of the fact that O&M will eventually go up on a car with this number of miles. But, I never expected to have such a great car. Corsica's are available at govt auctions throughout US.
