General comments?

This has been an all around excellent car. My mom bought this car new, and it has been in the family ever since. She kept it when she got her new one, no one would give her anything for it so I inherited it when my old car died. Never let us down once. Will drive through just about anything. (ice and snow) Very comfortable ride even at 130,000 miles, and original shocks. Just did the maintenance on it according to the manual, which goes to show you the manual is worth reading. Everything is still functioning properly. Even the A/C-ice cold, and cassette stereo with the "performance sound" option still sounds good, and the antenna still works too. This is my daily driver, I drive about 1,800 miles a month or so and would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. It has never let me down. Very fast and powerful, shifts very smooth with the original tranny. Going to drive this one to the junk yard just like my old Grand Am, which had 190,000 miles on it when it finally gave up.

My Bonneville has 257,000 miles on it and it was poorly taken care of. Yours should last you more than 190,000 if you actually take care of it. :)
