Clutch cable broke at around 80,000 miles. Fixed it myself, easy and cheap. Timing chain broke at 110,000 miles, cost me $400 dollars to have the dealer fix it. Windshield wiper motor went out around 130,000 miles, fixed it myself, got motor at junkyard, cheap. radio went out around 150,000 miles, got one at the junkyard, cheap.
Bought it new and "89" for $4,500 dollars Still driving it now "03".
Cheap transportation. Good millage, cheap insurance, cheap plates.
If the kids wanna take the dog along I say "sure".
I've had good luck, but I don't drive like a mad man. Changed oil every 5,000 miles.
I got a 89 Geo spectrum car myself too. I bought it brand new back in June of 89. I like the car cause it really save me a lot of money on gas. it has been a good car. but I only had a trouble a few time. I work on it myself and I am getting better at fixing it too. This car I have got has got 317,000 miles on it. I am still driving it too. I am gonna see if I can find me a really good rebuilt motor for them. The car got a lot of miles on it and I won't complaint about it. It is getting where it want to burn or use the oil. I am gonna try to find me a good rebuilt motor for that car. and maybe I can get another 300,000 miles on it. so if you keep the oil change like you said it will last you a long time too. that's what I did.
