Blower motor went out the day after I bought it.
The car drives very well for being 15 years old. The engine is quiet and it has no leaks.
The wagon is very roomy.
I was kind of nervous about buying a car so old. I traded in a 2000 Intrepid for it. I bought the Intrepid and had to turn it right back to the dealer because the mechanic said it need $5000 in repairs. I returned to the mechanic and he said the Caprice was a much better car. I've been told that this car would last forever.
I hope you enjoy your car... I have 96 9c1 (police pack) caprice with the L99 (4.3L) engine. These cars are true work-horses! they can run for a really long time. Like anything else, if you do the basic maintenance it will run forever. You're also luck because you have the L05 305 engine, a nice, fuel injected motor, easy to work on too. Even though the price of gas has gone up, just having this great fun car and cheaper insurance make it worth while.. good luck
