"It's a great car for big car lovers"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It's hard to start cold. I have to continually pump the accelerator until the engine takes off, but I haven't investigated the problem yet either. Incidentally, the temperatures were sub-zero the first week I had it.

It also needs new rear springs.

The headliner is starting to sag.

General comments?

What a comfortable car!

It has new shocks, and it rides nice and firm as the GM large cars do. It's a smooth ride, but you still feel attached to the road.

It's a North Dakota car, so it hasn't seen much salt, so there is very little rust. The under body and gas tank are superbly clean for a 21-year-old car.

Except for the headliner, the interior is in excellent condition.

It was a steal for $800.

The reason you have to tap the gas to get up to speed may be because you need a fuel pump. (CHECK) you're welcome.
