1989 Eagle Premier LX from North America - Comments

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.

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.

Congratulations...you got the 1 Eagle Premier out of all the ones made that was not a total piece of crap.

Or, maybe not.

This is the owner of this post (the original post, I own the 89 lx) I also wanted to say that I drove it at 107 while swerving through traffic and it performed great... not a POC at all!

My dad has an 89 Premier LX. It just recently came back from the mechanic for a non-starting problem. The mechanic evidently fixed a corroded wire that was supposedly the problem. It started and ran for about 5 times, but won't start now. Has a brand new battery and cranks over very strongly, but it won't start. Any ideas? I like this car a lot; it's in good overall condition with only 46,000 original miles. I'd get it for my son if we can get it working again.

I am the owner of the post. Had this problem too, changed spark plugs, distributor, coils and rotor, works fine now! Try that; it's about 100 bucks in repairs, but she will start right up.
