It's a shame really. Have 125k on it, replaced K frame already due to complete failure because of rot. Stabilizer bar mount rotted out as well, shocks replaced, fuel pressure regulator, auxiliary fan, dash cluster died a slow miserable death, a.c., gone. Heat only works on high, blower motor, replaced. Good part is engine is reliable, transmission shifts clean. Decent acceleration for what it is. But the car feels cheap and hollow. Overall, it's a piece of junk but it runs

Purchased this with only 11,000 miles on it. Had it for about 3 years. Piece of crap and waste of money. Internally is sucks. Horrible electrical issues with interior lights, seat broke and had to hold it up with a old milk can. Seat belt strap holder attached to neck of headrest busted like a cheap piece of plastic. Had blinker issue where one blinker worked and the other did not. Timing chain snapped and ruined engine valves before GM recommended tune up or check. Horrible reliability. Good vehicle for a teenager to beat up. Thats about it.
