This car has been through hell I have taken it through ditches and nothin happened. also hit like 3 cars with it 2 not so major one just put a dent in the front. I bought this car a year ago had 120,000 miles on it for 500 hundred bucks. Also ever day when left school always did reverse back drops and still drives fine.

I inherited this dark blue SSE with light gray cloth interior from my mother, whom I helped pick out when new. Now it's my daily driver and at 17 years old it's only at 140K miles on the odometer.  Looks almost new on the outside and the cloth inside too!  Only the headliner is decomposing.  Has had some parts replaced in its life but nothing major.  Has suffered from an odd electrical problem since new, which is its lack of ability to charge the battery when idling in very slow traffic.  I've been stuck on the freeway because of some accident and the battery voltage, with lights dimming, dropped to the point where I was afraid the engine would just shut down.  I wonder if this is a common problem. All the shops I took it to said it was up to specs.  This car has gone through 5 alternators and more than that in batteries in 17 years!  Other than that, it's great!  I drive it sometimes for long distances reliably.  Has great stopping power even though only the front has disk brakes, nice handling for a larger car, decent acceleration and very stable at very high speeds.  Having nice tires on it helps; no need to replace the very nice-looking original Aero wheels. I get an average 23 mpg in this car, which keeps me from wanting to replace it with something new as the new cars don't get better mileage! Other little problems: paint on the outside plastic parts has gone flat, but shines up somewhat with some wax. Back light lenses have delaminated and look ugly (common problem).  In general I'm happy with this car and will drive it until that overly big repair bill makes me junk it!  Here's to a classic Bonneville!

I currently own a 1991 Bonneville LE.  Paid $1000 cash for it after my old car bit the dust.  Good, solid car.  I owned an 89 Bonneville LE a handful of years ago and hated to give it up.  Everything on my car works, except the windows when they are rolled down all the way (bitch of a time getting them back up!).  Mine has just over 96,000 miles on it and I have kept up maintainence on it.  Bonnevilles are great cars that keep going.

Eye catching ground effects, decent gas mileage, great motor and tranny, comfortable and very solid.
