I bought this car for Miriam’s birthday 22 years ago (then spent 5 years paying for the gift!). It is a decent ride and I like it and I intend to drive it on and on.
We have kept it well maintained, and it is paid for. A thousand dollar repair is about 3 months payment on a new or newer rig. I can replace the engine and be ahead! Lately I have been on a roll with a few upgrades. Even old guys like a good sounding sound system, I have one. I had the front seats re-upholstered. I bought new carpet. Sound insulation is coming. It will be a decent ride.
I have a newer full sized pickup that I used when I was a contractor, but it gets 15 mpg average (about half of the Cavalier) and will be sold after I get my house remodel lined out.
Someone suggested that one way to drive a classic car is to buy it new and keep on driving it! I’ll do that!
