1989 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"A reliable comfortable driving appliance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Caliper seized after sitting too long. Replaced it myself, cost $20 for a rebuilt caliper.
Ignition module failed at 106000 km. Cost $300 cdn.
Lifter collapse after running light oil on a very hot day (no damage).
Air conditioner compressor seized (after attempted repair)
Undetectable voltage drain.
General comments?
Cheap car to buy, cheap to own, cheap to fix (except for computer stuff).
It had great gas mileage... don't know what happened. Its now average.
Accelerates good, brakes good, handles well if you remember what type of car it is.
Very comfortable. Great for commuting, or as the foul weather car. Strong driveline, suspension, chassis, etc. Overall good car.
