1989 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"A reliable P6K!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Automatic transmission decided to go at about 150 000 KM. Once it was replaced the car seems to shift good again.
The suspension is getting weak and some components need to be replaced, but the car is all original. 15 years of service is good for me.
Other than that one major problem, nothing other than regular maintenance has been done to this car.
General comments?
The 2.8L engine seems to enjoy fuel, but I don't complain, it isn't too bad and I don't mind paying for it. She hauls the car around pretty good I think for a small engine.
The car seems to have some body roll, but with some suspension upgrades, that can be changed.
