worse car i have every owned

I purchased this car from and older man,it had a few front end damage ,times no air bag,i bought for at the time 3000,well first thing locks do not work, tried everything, sometimes will lock passenger in and wont open, other times works fine, transmission fluid was changed first day i bought it with new filter fluid looked ok, but not perfect, year later car had a shifting problem, if you drive it in city driving acts like it has a shift kit in it, so if you let it cool down it drives ok, also had problems with engine ,brakes and other small things, i find gm cars from the era to be crap and will not buy another gm,i dont trust this car to go out of state in,it only has 127,000 miles on it i sold a concorde with 260,000 never had and issu

Great extra car to have

Bought when father in law passed and has been a great extra car to have. It is always there for emergencies and has not cost us a lot of money in repairs.

Excellent car

I love my CXL, leather interior looks brand new, car is in excellent condition still. Haven't had any major problems until now (approx. 137,000 miles). The Traction control started coming on by itself when I 'm driving on a clear day. Reduced power warning comes on and becomes a little dangerous when trying to pull out into traffic.

Most Reliable Car I Owned

The car met all my needs & plenty of legroom for passengers. The car had it's oil change on a regular basis that's why it's in superior performance. The interior leather looks like new.

Grandma's Go To Church Car

This is my parents car, who are Serious about maintenece - we have every oil change and service record, a milage book with every fill up, and all of the sales paperwork. Its Pristine, except for the bump on the garage I gave it, ugh, which I photo'd here. There is also a "cut" on the front bumper from a piece of metal that apparently flew into it during a rare road trip. Its super comfortable and has nice storage / cup holders between the front bucket seats, with a pull down arm rest. Under purpose of the car I put having fun as there wasn't an entry for grocery store and church.
