Value on the turbo acts up when the car is not warmed up. Otherwise all I've had to replace is the front passenger running light and the windshield wipers.
I love this car. Even though it's an automatic, it still has more pick-up and go than most cars on the road. I don't really race it, I just get to the speed limit at a fast and comfortable pace. All I've had to do is have the fuel injection cleaned out.
YEP a great car, the strongest
automatic transmission ever made,
the 83 engine is a bit better, but
81 and 82 will outrun anything.
