1989 Pontiac 6000 LE from North America - Comments

"Goolies (6000LE) are super-tanks!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

In 1996, replaced alternator.

In 1998, replaced fuel pump.

In 1999?, new brake pads.

In 2000, I had to replace the plastic seal around the rear window. It wasn't leaking, but the original plastic seal was starting to peel and stick up. I didn't mind because she was easy to find in a parking lot. Friends and family were not amused by it.

General comments?

This was the first car I ever owned. My dad liked her because she is big and boxy and because she has low miles. We call her the goolie because that 6000LE label looks like GOOOLE if you look at it from a distance.

She is like a tank. Keeps on driving like one (goes and goes and goes). Handles like one. NEVER try to angle into a tight parking spot with an '89 goolie.

I am currently shopping for a truck because that is more practical for my life now. If anyone is looking for a goolie, please let me know. I would love for her to go to someone who will take care of her.

The Pontiac 6000 is about the most reliable and durable vehicle I have owned. I owned an 89 first and passed it onto my son and then purchased a 90 and passed it also onto my son. Both are still going strong.

I had heard about that "goolie" thing before, but always thought it was just one of those urban myths cause nobody could be that dumb.

I stand corrected.
