When Purchased it needed new brakes to pass inspection.
Alternator died on me at a red light.
Installed new battery and Alternator.
Tape deck was broken when car was purchased. Replaced it with a CD player.
Small area of paint chipping on Roof.
Couldn't have asked for more in a car!
Other than the Alternator failing once this car has never failed me.
Starts every day without hesitation, even in 10 Degree weather.
Most comfortable car I have ever sat in. Velour bench seat is great.
Love the 80's looking dashboard and controls.
Very powerful engine. Drives great on highways and hills. Does 85 MPH with no problem.
The body is in great condition. NO rust after 15 years.
This car is loaded with extra's, such as: Power windows, power door locks, power seats, hood light, cruise control, Max A/C.
Cabin is very spacious. I have fit 6 people in there at a time. Trunk space is very large too.
Car is great on long trips and around town.
Factory speakers are great.
Interior trim looks very fancy. Blue velour.
I have always liked the style of the Celebrity even before I owned one. My father had two of them in the 80's. The visibility is better then most new cars. The engine purrs even when accelerating on highways. I will never part with this car if I don't have to.
This car is still going strong at 83000 miles and I believe it will run forever. The only new improvement made was the replacement of the rear brake pads. They really don't build em like this anymore!
Update...
This car has recently been in an accident and I don't think the insurance company is going to pay for the damages. Someone pulled out in front of me while I was going through a yellow light and I crashed right into the side of there car. There car was had the back tire smashed in sideways and the frame suffered intensive damage. The celebrity held up pretty well though; considering I hit them doing 45MPH. I only had a busted headlight and some minor front bumper and framed damage as well as a bent hood.
Which Century, the 18th?
Celebrities are good cars.
Don't you have something better to do than make 18th century remarks? Go buy a new car and stay out of it.
I agree with the original poster on this car. The Celebrity and it's "siblings" (Pontiac 6000, Buick Century, and Olds Ciera) is/are amazing cars. Tough, easy-to-work-on, easy to find parts for and very, very economical. They are capable of 28-30 mpg when equipped with the 4 cylinder/3speed automatic - even better with the manual transmission. The handling is neutral - neither prone to under or over steer. They do incredibly well in real-life crashes. What's more, they are available in every configuration, but a fastback: 2 door, 4 door, 4 door wagon, and convertible. These cars were made from 1982 to 1996 (Celebrity last year 1990 / 6000 last year 1991) and have a loyal and enthusiastic following.
