1986 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"A car in which the body will rot away before the engine quits"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace brakes at 130,000 and again at 140,000.Fuel sending unit went at 146,000.Fuel lines rotted at 147,890.Just replaced valve cover gasket at 149,000.Doors are really starting to rust now, have to replace them shortly.
General comments?
This car is great on gas and has excellent get up and go. Even at almost 150,000 miles on the odometer the car still runs and drives like it is brand new.
The repairs I have had to make on this vehicle have been cheap considering the age of the car.
There are a couple of negatives about the car like for instance, the body rotting out.
The dash board and seats are starting to wear and tear.
But overall this has been a really good car and very affordable.
