1993 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"Reliable transportation; beats having car payments"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced rusted-out fuel lines and brake lines in the back of the vehicle, and also put in a new fuel tank and fuel pump.
Exterior sill panels under the doors are almost totally rusted away, but there is surprisingly no rust through elsewhere. The vehicle still looks good except under the doors.
The exhaust system is new, replaced within the last year.
General comments?
I got this vehicle free when my father passed away, and I plan to drive it as reliable transportation up to 180K. The 3800 engine is supposedly bulletproof.
The vehicle runs well and needs no major items. The front seat is somewhat uncomfortable, and I plan to replace the front bench with more comfortable Buick seats from a junkyard. I'd also like to put in new speakers and upgrade the radio unit.
