1989 Eagle Premier LX review from North America
"Great looking, driving, and very unique!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV Joints clicked on turns, Which I replaced for $190.
Distributor cap and rotor needed replacement.
Both problems were there when I purchased the car.
General comments?
Best car in the world. I bought this car in august 2006, for a steal at only $800. The car had 39,210 original miles on it, and the body was in mint condition. I did a partial rebuild, replacing parts that looked worn. I also put on 4 new tires,did an alignment and cleaned the inside and outside of the car to a "t"The car had no problems and runs like a champ. It starts like a champ every time, even when it was so cold that new cars wouldn't start.
The cars handling is incredible and it has a lot of power for a car in its class. Everywhere I go I always get questions and compliments wherever I go, because it runs and looks like brand new. The entire car is stock and I replaced everything with OEM parts, except the Sony Cd player I installed. All work was done personally by me, and I won't let a mechanic touch it. I will never sell this car for less than $20,000. I plan on keeping the car forever even though I'm buying a 1977 trans am in for the summer, and a 1965 jeep wagoner for the winter.
