1988 Pontiac 6000 review from North America
"Slow, but indestructible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rad sprung a leak.fixed it with stop leak.
Wiper control board flaky.have to hit it with my snow brush from time to time.
Front struts and springs where changed.
Rear brakes grab. the extra power is good for trailer towing.
Valve cover gasket won't stop leaking. engine block will never rust
General comments?
The 2.5 liter engine doesn't like the cold to much (below -20c).
Engine sounds like a type writer all the time.
Good on fuel.
