General comments?
This was technically my first car. I drove my grnadmothers 95 cougar around for a while until I could afford my own car. I loved the cougar, but it was out of my price range and I did not want to wait 2 more moths to get a car of my own.
I saw this 89 vic is a magzine and it looked perfect!
Look are deciving!
Two weeks after I bought the damn thing, the transmission and torque converter went out. I had to put 1200 dollars into the car off the bat.
My mother said the car was worthless, but I did not car.
Other things kept going wrong.
I always kept in mind that it was an older car and kept putting money into it.
The inside looked brand new and the AC and heater always worked great.
Despite all the little problems, It was a good first car!
