Love this car to death, beautiful, nice to drive, but here is what I've done to her in the 6 years of ownership:
-Head gasket 2001
-head gasket 2002.
-radiator ($800 job)
-ignition coils, MANY TIMES
-gas tank
- duel exhaust twice
-alternator
-breaks, every year ($500)...the back drums fall apart
-thermostat (but I have found the most expensive one works best)
-battery
-A-frame cracked, tire fell off the car
-alignment
-tires
- tans cooler lines
-emergency break line, over and over
-all break lines
-signal arm
-radiator cap.
Right now I am shopping for a new car, but this is what is wrong with her:
-breaks
-leaking heator core
-won't run when its damp, dies when you hit the brakes, until the thermostat opens
- the heating vents only blow out the main vents, not defrost
just fixed up a hole in the exhaust between resonator and cat. convertor
-Window goes off the guiders, runs up over the top pf the car
-no horn.
GM parts for this car are NOT cheap, the labour is long and I've spent thousands of dollars fixing it!
I bought it with a blown head gasket and I wanted my money back, instead they fixed it and I regret it to this day.
Looks like you paid for this car twice, do us all a favor and junk it so nobody else ends up with that piece of crap!
