stevenjoseph82 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Engine: 1. Leaks oil and antifreeze 2. Really hard to start right now if you drive it and let it sit a half hour to an hour (tons of things possibly wrong, haven't pinpointed it yet) 3. Lifters are a knockin' after 165,000K 4. Who knows what I haven't found yet Supsension: 1. Rear Struts worn out 2. Subframe bushings that were recalled by GM are about gone again Transmission: 1. Leaking fluid out the right side somewhere, probably around cv joint 2. Slips real bad making 3rd gear basically nonexistent 3. After changing the fluid one time I found plastic parts in the pan 4. It's pretty much gone I'm guessing Body: 1. Scratched all over and there's a small rust spot in front of gas tank door 2. Huge dent covering the whole driver's side door below the trim piece where an old lady backed into me in a parking lot 3. Hood wrinkled where someone, sometime without me knowing sat on it 4. Door handles worn out for about the 4th time; paint peeling off of them too Interior: 1. Faded, hardened, and cracked cloth on backseat headrests, rear decklid, and speaker grills 2. Driver's side floorboard carpet stained because of small water leak somewhere down there I still love her though. And I think I'd fix her before I bought another used piece of shit. At least if I rebuild it myself, then I know what I've got under me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo57509 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Power steering leaks. Actually, defective replacement power steering components. It's hard finding quality rebuilds/replacement parts anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabulldog Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 well, maybe im getting the 10 mpg cuz its running a lil hot, or maybe its just the way i drive because everything ive driven but a '97 LHS has gotten 10 mpg, the LHS got 16.7 :?

ross442 Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 My 94 needs front struts, hood release repaired, keyless entry repaired, The O - ring replaced. Do you really have to take the head off for that? It doesn't look that way to me, just upper and lower intake. Of course theres what I've already done. All the brakes, steering rack and pump, alternator, fuel pump, SIR coil and signal switch in the coloum, rear struts, air conditioning, valve cover gaskets, and more. I now have 180,000 miles on the original engine and trans. Not too bad so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
