"A high performance bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with this car.

Brakes seem to shutter at times (possible ABS modulator problem).

Idler pulley seems to be make sound although this is just an annoyance and not something affecting the car.

Annoyance of rear doors not opening because of police package (can be fixed)

No CD player, just a stock stereo.

No amenities, everything except drivers seat is bare bones.

General comments?

Car handles like its on rails, handles unbelievably at unreasonable speeds.

Excellent brakes.

Heavy duty seats are very comfortable on long trips.

Speed limiter set a 130 MPH, could go much faster.

0-60 time is low 8s which is great for a full size sedan.

Excellent value for a car.

If it is a 1999, the back doors have child safety locks. Try checking to reset them if you have a problem with those doors.

The child safety switch is on the edge of the door below the latch. A quick flip and the doors work from the inside again unless the department that used it actually removed or disconnected the actuator rods. In that case you have to remove the inside door panel to fix or replace them.

Is your idler pulley sound a small squeak when shifting at wide open throttle?? Mine did that when I got it (99' p71), and I replaced the OEM belt with a Goodyear Gatorback belt. No more squeak! :) this apparently is common.
