This car refuses to die. Time and time again, its been brought back to life. I finally got everything needed to fix it to bring it back up to Texas inspection level just yesterday. I opened the hood and a moth flew out. The car's been driven to death and still refuses to die. I often hear of newer Pontiacs being completely unreliable and breaking down all the time... but with just a little TLC, this car will keep on going. Its been about 4 years since the last oil change, and it defys all laws of engines and physics.
It's true, this car really does defy logic, mine should have died years ago, but it simply refuses. BUY THIS CAR IF YOU SEE IF FOR CHEAP! no matter how rough of a condition this car is in it can be fixed cheaply and it will serve you well.
I bought mine in 1987 and it's still going strong. A mechanic has never laid a finger on the engine. Other than some rust problems, this thing is a tank. It will not die. I can't remember the last time I had to bring it in for repair. I believe it was way back in 1993 when I replaced a fuel pump. That's it!
