The brakes.
The air-conditioning.
The starter, of course.
The glove-box opened and didn't close.
The sun-visors were on their last string.
There were probably more problems before I purchased the vehicle.
This car was a very great car!
I had heard from many people that the Pontiac Le Mans (actually the Daewoo Nexia) was a good first car.
The replacement parts were rare and very hard to find.
The seats are stiff and the cloth is yellowing.
The car feels quite cheap... especially the dashboard.
For anybody who needs a reliable car for under $1,500 this is it!
I bought a 1989 LeMans in 1989, new. Even for the $6,500 I paid at the time it was a good little cheap car. It's certainly not a luxo-rama car and had its share of little problems (radio quit working, etc). But it served me well as transport without costing too much. When I sold it in 1996 it was running like a top, though the clutch was starting to go. You get what you pay for, but in this case, that's a compliment. It was good, basic transportation.
Pontiac Le mans, the one that you people are calling a Deawoo Nexia or something, is not an American car neither is a cheap Deawoo. These car are also known as Vaxhullah or something like that in England. But the truth is that this car is a German beauty originally called Opel Kadett. So, I had this car back home and let me tell you that it had approx. 430.000 kilometers original with original engine and it was still running like it was new! I am serious! And guess why... because it is a Deawoo?...commoooon guys! It never dies if you replace the timing belt and change the oil. Excellent car!
