1991 Pontiac 6000 LE from North America - Comments

Passenger window won't open.

Rear windows operate incredibly slowly.

Has an overheating issue at the moment, just replaced the water pump myself cost me all of $20 from pep boys.

Brakes need a bit of shove to get them moving, might have to have that looked at soon.

One thing that struck me after I'd parted with my $600 is that apart from the small glove box, there is absolutely no where at all to put anything. No little storage areas, No Cup holders. It not a problem for me, I just thought it was strange.

The 3.1L V6 is pretty damn good, still quiet, still able to get you in trouble with the law pretty quickly, and not too thirsty.

The seats are bizarre, the split front bench seat doesn't recline, well mine don't. But they are soft enough and at a reasonable angle, so it doesn't really matter.

Body work is a little rough, bottoms of the doors are rusting slightly, and a lot of the paint is... well... just plain missing.

Suspension is suitably soft and spongy for a car of this age, but it copes with Bostons pot holes very well.

Despite its faults I adore this car, my girlfriend is not that impressed, but what does she know :-)

Man, what you wrote about your car is describing my car perfectly. No storage or cup holders, no reclining seats, rusting door panels. But the engine is pretty good and for a 1991 it runs like a car 5 years newer.

I have a '90 6000 LE. When I first got it I didn't think the seats reclined. When I was working under the dash one day I noticed a switch on the front corner of the bench seat. Turns out there's one at the front corner of the drivers and passenger side. They tilt the seats back. You might not feel them if you just reach down there because they're inset, but if you look you'll see them. Unfortunately for my passengers the passenger side doesn't work, but mine does :)

Cheers.

Hey,

I just bought my Pontiac 6000 about 3 weeks ago. I can't agree more with the reviews you all have given it. I was wondering however how you went about replacing your water pump. My water pump locked up and I am stuck at college with minimal resources (money) to get it fixed. I did some checking and I can get Valucraft Re-man for 13.00 and the core is worth 5.00. Anyway if you could email me personally that would be great. bjbernier@usieagles.org

Thanks,

Yeah I have a 91 6000le and your right there is no room for anything, but that minor problem the seats are good for that car as long as you don't get in to a fender bender the minute that happens the back of the seats sort of start to clapse and sa far as the rust on the doors you might want to fix that ASAP because it will get worse I just had to replace the doors on my car because of that, but otherwise it is a DAMM good car for the price.
