1987 Chevrolet Nova sedan review from North America
"Novas are good cars. But please stay on top of your maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carberators had to be replaced.
Car occasionally stalls when at a stop light.
Alternator screw came loose.
Odometer has been rolled back a full 100,000 miles by making the first digit in the odometer a zero.
Thermostat had to be replaced due to lack of maintenance.
Oil Gasket had to be replaced.
A/C Belt had to be replaced.
General comments?
When my father bought this car, the windshield wiper assembly needed replacing.
The car at first seemed quicker that my original Nova.
