I got the Pulsar with 220,000 km on the engine, the body is in amazing shape. So I replaced all of the parts I listed that went wrong with brand new parts and I also got a rebuilt engine put in.
Now, I have a great looking, and running car. It's small, fast, sporty, the t-roofs are a plus and now it is very reliable.
Great first car, even though I drive the heck out of it! Actually this is the perfect first car. And make sure you get the standard tranny, it makes driving it all the more fun!
Can anyone tell me why my Pulsar runs so cool. Seems the more you drive it the cooler it gets. I changed the thermostat antifreeze and cleaned out the heater core. It's a 1988 Pulsar automatic.
