In the 8 years that we had the car, quite a few things went wrong with the car, with the exception of what had happened to it. Back in November of 2005, the transmission, the catalytic converter, and the exhaust system all went at one shot, so we got rid of it.
When we got the car back in November of 1997, the car had 138,000 miles on it. It was grey in color with a reddish colored interior. We paid $1900 for it at the time. Even though it had its share of its problems during the time that we had the car, it still held up great!
The interior was very roomy, and the seats were sofa like comfortable. The trunk was downright big. Basically, the Celebrity was great for the family.
As for its ride? That's another story. It was a great ride, but the 4 cylinder motor sounded like a lawn mower motor when it went up hills. When not on the hills, it was great for around the town commuting.
We got in an accident with it just before we got rid of it, and it still kept going. The reason for getting rid of it? Well, the transmission went, and so did the catalytic converter, and the exhaust system. Had none of that happened, we'd still have it.
Would we get another one? Of course. Just look for one with average miles on it. We still talk about the car, and we do miss it dearly. When it came time to say goodbye to it, the neighbors and ourselves all cried our hearts out.
I just got a 1987 chevrolet celebrity for my first car. It did run fine until a couple weeks after I got it. Every time I came to a stop it would die. We figured out thet it was the transmission not switching gears down correctly. but other than that I think it rides very smooth.
