I have a 97 Grand am with 150000,every 3 months an oil change,air filter every 6 months. I am happy with the car. Even happier now that gas is at $4
At 125000 things started to fall apart:every 2 weeks something else went. wrong That lasted about 5 months,then
the car 'quieted' down to 150000. Theft control had to be removed. if the air bag gets wet,it will short circuit out
The ac no longer blows cold air,the heater blow seems to be on the way out. BUT repairing these problems is still cheaper than a $300 monthly payment for months.
I am happy with the mileage about 27 -30 highway, 24 stop and go
Add Yokomohama tires avid TRZ model and get a $20 fuel injection service at Walmart. Start using high mileage oil. Wash the car every week even if you have 10 feet of snow on the ground. Wax too, Black magic.
