1986 Chevrolet Sprint from North America - Comments

27th Aug 1999, 00:33

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil burner starting at 60,000 miles. Automatic waits too long to up shift & sometimes won't. No power (raced a VW Bug & he blew me away). Death trap (same size as a Yugo). Gas fumes very strong. Noisy. 1 bbl carburetor is a pain in the butt to work on (left me stranded many times because of this). Rust all over. With a 3 cylinder when 1 plug is misfiring, you will definitely know it (it does not run).

General comments?

One good thing - when it runs, it gets 50 mpg. I'll sell it for $1 or a dohnut.

I'd buy it for a dollar. I need parts for my 86. My mechanic wouldn't allow it to pass inspection this year (07/04). Some of the parts it needs are no longer available he said. It only has 74,000 miles on it and runs great.
