1989 Pontiac LeMans LE Aerocoupe review from North America
"Cheap wheels, and good reliability if it is treated with love, and a huge trunk/hatch for moving!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One dead battery.
One set of brakes.
New rear brake cylinders (wheel was locking up).
Three new exhaust systems till the thermostat was just changed.
Drivers door lock that sticks.
Knocks on days below zero when starting up.
General comments?
I bought this car as a freshman in high school and I still drive it as a junior in college today! It isn't the greatest car in the world, but it is cheap to operate (gas, my dad's the mechanic, and insurance) and most importantly - it has never neve,r never left me stranded!!! Newer cars have been towed and jumped by my trusty LeMans.
I think I will drive it till it doesn't run anymore!
