Used Chevrolet Cars for Sale near Appleton, WI

My husband and I bought a 1980 chevy citation in April of 1979 because we were looking for a car that got good mileage. It definately did that, we were getting 45 miles to the gallon in town driving and about 55 highway. It was a good car in many ways except one, one I have not seen mentioned anywhere. Maybe our car was the only one with this problem, but it was a serious and expensive one. One month after we bought it, the manual transmission gave out. We had the car for 5 years, and every year, the transmission had to be rebuilt or replaced and the clutch also had problems. A mechanic finally told us it could never be fixed right, that is was a design flaw so we traded it in for a Subaru, a truely outstanding car. Also had starter literally fall off car!

It was an X-11 model. Yeah I know it's still a Citation, but some of us out there knew what they really were. The X-11 option was a race prepared option produced for the SCCA race series. Chevrolet made the cowl inductuion functional and even went as far as giving it a special water pump with teflon bearings to reduce resistance and produce a few extra HP. Chevrolet must have gotten it right because X-11's dominated thier class for several years. On a dry twisty road this car was a thrill to drive. It isn't as composed as my 944 when driven to the limit but will easily turn times as good if not better on a tight road course. To this day whenever I drive past a used car lot I can't help but search the back rows in hopes of finding another X-11.

My second car, the first I owned by myself. Very reliable cheap transportation. Not very sexy. Although, it was used in one of the batman movies by Michelle Pfeiffer. I was driving it when I met my wife. She must have loved me for my personality, not the car.

drives nice, really good for a almost classic car. Performance is pretty good I'm hoping to find the new 3.6L V6 that is in the new Camaro and fix up the interior. The brakes need a little work. Overall "I'm lovin' It"

Had one of these right out of college in '90. Drove it til I couldn't fix it any more. Loved it because of it's cargo capacity and fuel economy. Had an "iron duke" 4 cylinder in it. Overall interior great, exterior was boxy.
