Used 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier for Sale near Kent, OH

It runs about a 15sec 1/4 mile. It brakes good. Can be easily upgraded and modded to become a performance car cheaply. They are fairly good looking cars. They look better than any of the other models. It is a great car for gas mileage and reliability

Bought the car used in 2002 with 56,000 miles on it. I've only had to replace normal wear and tear parts other than the coil pack a year ago and the oil pressure switch 2 years ago.

The cavalier z24 is a great car. It handles realy well, and stops on a dime. You can redline it all day and barely go through a tank of gas a week. they have alot of potential with performance, As I have found this out.

Cheap on gas, not much maintenance needed. Exterior looks great, interior is pretty good for an older car. Fun to drive and easy to fix when something goes wrong. Looks very nice and very sharp. Cheap little car all around.

At first glance I wasn't very thrilled with the looks of this car. After looking at it for a while it grows on you, for me it took over in no time at all. When i first drove my Cavalier I wasn't the first owner, I was the fourth; and the first three was not kind at all to it. The engine was out of oil, plugs were way off gap, brakes were gone, transmission was slippy and there was leaky gaskets all over the place. I can remember pushing the gas pedal and counting to 5 before i started to move. Surprisingly enough i was able to get all the parts i needed to make it roadworthy and i still paid my rent and didn't starve. Repairs or replacing parts is so simple, aside from the usual front wheel drive headaches. A few months after I got it running, I was also able to upgrade most all of my suspension components without much modifications or complex knowledge. I'ts almost as if Chevy seen all the after market goodies, then planned a car around them. Aside from it being a fwd car (for now) it has plenty of pep, handles like a dream, after about $500 on sway bars, shocks, bushings, etc etc, but with scheduled maintenance and three better drivers before me, it might not have been that terrible of a car for me to start on
