"Very nice car for a young driver"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I just recently bought this car from a own owner, private seller who I found online.

Car runs great, good acceleration.

I noticed it takes awhile to stop. So I'm assuming the brakes need new pads.

Are the pads easy to change on the GL3 sedan?

Very comfortable ride.

Sound system kind of sucks for stock, but I could always invest into it.

When I bought the car it had 88,538 miles and now has 88,801. The first owner listed all of the previous oil changes, tire rotations, etc.

I just need some more information on how easy this car is to repair when the time comes.

General comments?

Well buddy, I hope you have good luck with your Alero, mine has had problem after problem... Things aren't a matter of how easy they are to fix, it's more along the line of how many times your going to have to fix the same things.

I've had 2 alternators, 3 hub bearings, brakes and rotors 2 times... watch out for the dome light because it has been a known fact to fall down with the slightest bit of pressure, and just so ya know, a frequently asked question is how to get the "low tire pressure" light off... you have to pop the fuse box cover off on the driver side and push the reset button 2 times till the light blinks then hold it till the dings stop, then the light will go off... but I'm no mechanic, but my dad is and he said it's not hard to work on... hope I helped LOL... good luck.
