Both the gas line and breake line rusted out.
Replaced the starter
car started very hard during the winter time.
It during a rain storm the car will sound like its going to stall, not sure why, but i'd have to, but in neutral and kick on the gas petal to up the RPM's and it runs good again.
Replaced the shock absorbers (my fault)
Had to replace all the warning light bulbs.
Very good car. it got me to point b and back to point a with little or no trouble.
I noticed that when it rains, my car will act up while I'm idle at a stop sign or red light, and I would have to shift to neutral and step on the gas petal to up the RPM's.
Its hard to start when the car is cold, I usually have to step on the gas petal 2-3 times to start it.
Though it's a very nice car, powerful pick-up. ill be on the highway and I'm passing drivers left and right.
I bought my 6000 from my old high school engish teacher for 500 bucks, and he was nice enough to let me pay him in payments since I didn't have all of the money at the time.
I had to re-paint the car since it had wood-panel that were horrible looking and made the car look like crap, though I painted it myself since the paint shop wanted 2000 and I did myself for 300.
All in all a very good car and if the 6000 was still in production, I would honestly buy one. the seats are a dream, I never feel uncomfortable in the seats.
Its me, the one who wrote this.
Just wanted to clarify some marks as I'm a horrible writer at night ;)
My engine size is 2.8 not 2.5.
And on my heading it should read powerful and comfortable.
Other than that and some spelling errors I think I did pretty good minding I was tired when writing this ;)
Hey I bought a 6000LE just a couple months ago and as you say its powerful and comfortable. Mine needs work done to it (more of the interior) but its been a very dependable car for 400 bucks. It's an 84 by the way and I'm not sure of the mileage since it does have the old odometer, but I know its at least overclocked once or getting there. Even as old as this car may be, when I turn the key it still yells out, "LETS RUN! BABY LETS RUN!"

I also have an 84, it's my first car. It was given to me by my late aunt. The headlining is a little bad, but all in allm a great car.
