1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo z34 review from North America
"Good power with expenses!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt was wearing do to stuck pulliys. Around $275.000.
Intake manifolds done twice Around $500.00 Second one dealer did for free because it leaked within 3000 miles of first repair.
Alternator replaced Well was able to use dealers discount and had it done for $320.00 otherwise it should cost around $400-500.00.
Now I have coolant leaking out of the corners of my radiator and some where else under the engine and I noticed I have oil spots now under the car.
I also had oil on the spark plug wire boots. However that got there.
Some of the trim in the car is now falling apart and the clear coat on the car is now flaking away.
General comments?
This car has a good amount of power. It gets up and goes. Has very good looks.
But the biggest problem is very costly and prepare yourself for headaches.
