I bought a lemon! I bought this car originally for the performance, looks, and reliability. I've received many complements for the looks and I am reasonably satisfied by the performance, but the lack of reliability has disappointed me greatly. I am now leaning toward a Lexus or Infinity.
At 65,000 miles my 1995 Bonneville SSE had the pulley bearing on the air conditioner compressor fail causing the seal to leak and vent the refrigerant and ruining the compressor.
At 83,000 miles the transmission failed.
At 95,000 a speed sensor failed in the ABS causing the brakes to lock up, had to have it towed on a flat bed from the grocery store parking lot.
At 108,000 the front bearing hubs both bad.
Purchased car at 54,000 miles and have been making two payments regularly for four years, one for the loan and one for parts and service.
