"Not a bad car, but not a great car, however I love it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

There are so many problems with this car I don't know where to begin. I do like this car, but if you really look at it, it is a piece of junk.

First off, the windshield is cracked.

The interior light isn't reliable.

The entire roofing fell down, but fixable.

Dirty carpet, I doubt it could be clean.

Driver's seat is worn and torn.

Red paint is dull and lifeless.

Scratched, peeling paint on the rear.

Fuel gauge doesn't work.

Engine trouble sometimes.

General comments?

Handles well, turns great, drives itself practically.

I drive a 1988 buick skyhawk with 165,000 miles on it.

The 4th gear lock-up does not work,but it gets 26.7 mpg

on the back roads. I bought it in 1996 with 96,000 miles,

at 150,000 miles, the head got cracked, running at 70 m.p.h.,full blown hot. it does not have a headliner, a/c does not work. it is my old car that still gets me around.

The fog lamps are like airplane landing lights. after the head was fixed, i bought new tires, it still needs engine parts to make it run smoother, it is a great car, i am going to keep it for a long time...
