1987 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"Wish they made them like this today, maybe then I would buy a GM product"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump is going out now.
Tilt wheel is very loose, kind of scarey.
Hubcaps flew off.
General comments?
I cannot believe this car is still going.
My grandparents bought this thing in 1990 looking new.
My sister got it in 97, and proceeded to thrash it.
She has hit 3 deer, and had two auto collisions. I keep putting on a new grille and headlights, she kept breaking them.
I finally got the car from her and gave it some TLC. The oil was black as tar, and the same consistency. The filter was seized to the block. One of the tires was the original full size spare, very cracked, came apart on the freeway when I picked up the car.
Other than the steering column being very loose, this car drives like a new Lumina, peppy and strong, no smoke and handles fine.
