I purchased the vehicle with a cracked head and a malfunctioning water pump. This $1700 repair, on top of the mere $500 I bought the car for was well worth it. other than those initial repairs, I have maintained the car well, and am working on the only other serious problem: Rust. I replaced the driver's door and got the door repainted at a cost of about $500.
Overall the car, even with the 245,000 km is no lemon!
I am truly amazed at the 2.0 liter turbo engine in this vehicle. Even with a power-robbing automatic transmission, the car still accelerates at amazing speed, and a good driver should be able to give most other 4 cylinder cars a good run for their money!
I have raced my friend's Honda Prelude of the same year and left him in the dust! The car is comfortable to drive with its plush interior, good sound with its 3-way stock speakers in the rear coupled with a good deck, smooth steering and tight suspension. The Pontiac Sunbird turbo is totally under-rated!
Does anyone know how much gasoline an '89 Pontiac Sunbird GT holds?? Thanks////Karen (fifilala@myway.com)
