General comments?

Car has been very reliable.

Still runs smooth and gets great mileage.

The motor will outlast the car first.

The interior is still in excellent condition.

Paint is beginnnig to fade.

Planning to buy another one as a spare car when and if this car goes.

After 15 years and 217,000 miles the moon roof is just beginning to leak.

I have a Touring Sedan and it is one of the best cars that I have ever seen. The 3800 series engine is the best performer that I have ever seen from any company from the year 1988 running a quarter mile time of 17.4 seconds this car for what it is will snap down and get the job done. My Touring Sedan is on of the most luxurious automobiles that I have ever owned and with its awesome features, comfort, and performance it is the car for me. I just found the same exact engine in a junk yard and me and my brother are putting a turbo from a Grand National on it and that's a different story and if you read this and anyone else who reads this if you do have a Touring Sedan if you would please take the time and e-male me and tell me what the color and the interior color is of it because I have never seen one like mine. Mine is white and Maroon leather if you would please e-male me at speedracer5410@yahoo.com thanks,

Matt.
