1992 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Great car for someone who is just starting out!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain skipped near 135k miles, ruining all 8 valves.
Leaks from drivers side floorboard and in spare tire well.
AC lost its juice near 140k miles.
Paint has begun to wear out and rust, but this is due to the previous owner not taking care of it while he had it put up.
Leaking oil from the valve cover.
Window arms have bent due to rust and the weight of the window.
General comments?
This is a good car for someone who likes to fix up cars. It does run well and will run under the worst conditions.
