1989 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"Fun to drive!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had failed fuel injectors at 130,000 miles, which is expected for its engine type.
Also shocks and struts needed repairs.
New paint job required due to peeling.
Many new engine parts such as a water pump, alternator, power steering pump, radiator, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and oil pump seal.
Also new spark plugs and wires.
General comments?
Still accelerates and handles well.
Fun to do doughnuts in reverse in winter.
It's very nice on the inside, given the great interior.
We love this car and hope to have it at 300,000 miles.
