Not your grandmother's car

The body style is sleek and mean for a 4 door car. Get inside and its like being in your living room. Comfortable, spacious, quiet. Lots of legroom for all passengers. Factory sunroof still works and looks great with no rusting around the installation. 2 lighter plug ins to charge your devices. I had this car for 10 years and it was hard to part with.

Crazy

I got this car with almost 100,000 miles on it. I had an issue with the intake being warped. This issue caused me to replace 2 engines in it within a couple months. Since then it's been a great car and I love every moment I spend in it. I live in the great UP of Michigan where they salt the roads and it is holding up amazingly well for its age. at 158,000 miles she is starting to show some age with a few things like the power antenna and the fuel pump but despite that I want to keep this car forever and see just how long it will last.

I wish I had discovered this car earlier

This car is a real sleeper. Step on it and this car is gone. Comfortable,comfortable,comfortable. The 38 special engine gives me a solid 28 MPG HWY with cruise set at 68 MPH. Not a dimes worth of rust at 12 years old. I own 4 cars and this is the only one I want to drive.
