1989 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari review from North America
"Good for now, Concern is MPG"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much really, except all of the rust on the lower portion of the car. (due to a lot of snow driving from the previous owner here in upstate NY). He replace a gas tank, an alternator, and a radiator in seven years of ownership.
General comments?
I really like my wood-grain rust bucket ($500.00 price tag). I have only done one short day trip with her, but I love what she can do. We loaded up with 3 adults and 5 kids and didn't feel cramped. I had a half of tank of gas, drove about 80 miles and returned home and still had a 1/4 tank. (the previous owner said he got about 24mpg). I bought a 16 year old car so I could make my 30 mile (one-way) commute daily to work to save money on gas. I would love to hear about what other folks are getting for fuel economy. I'm hoping she works out... Knock on wood... woodgrain.
