Through the years I've had several oil leaks, replaced many batterys and one altenator.
I know that within the next few months I'll have to trade it because the transmission is about gone, but this thing has NEVER left me stranded and with 300k I'm not complaining!
Best car ever made as far as I'm concerned.
Hey!
I miss my 1985 Chevy Cavalier like you don't understand! I had it for nearly 4 years (from 1994-1998), and packed about 100,000 km on it! It was reliable, and tough enough to deal with winters in Montreal (I wish I still had it for a winter car). The best money I ever spent.
The 85 Chevy Cavalier I have, I've had for its entire life- yes all 16 years! It's up to 220,000 miles. After reading this article, looks like I still have 80,000 miles still left on its original engine and transmission, as well as other numerous original parts!
That's good to hear!!! I've got a 2000 Cav. Except for a few minor glitches I have had few problems with it! I plan to beat you in the mileage department!! I am pushing for the big 400,000. I think I'll do it too since I am using synthetic engine oil!!
