Hows it going everyone,


Im going to look at a 1998 Bonneville SE , its got 154 xxxkms on it , 2 owner car "Body still in very good condition. Interior in great condition." ( his words not mine ) he says it was safetied in late may , ( im guessing it should safety again) heres a pic:



I can see the passenger front fender I will be looking at that rust spot closely along with the doors .

my question to you guys is what should i be looking for , What problems are common with these cars ? ( mechanical and body wise)

i really like Bonneville'* a lot , and am wanting to be an owner.

Thanks
Justin


PS, Yes im the new guy

Check for water in the spare tire area, check the rear wheel wells for rust threw. Look for water staining on the rear seat belts.

thanks for the heads up Danthurs

After looking at the car last night , i bought her for $1100 , Drove it home with no plates, Got lost but found my way home. I love my new ride ( ah crap i think i got the Bonneville bug now)

What it is:
1998 SE
154000 KM
darkish Green
exterior is good ( a few spots like the gas cap cover , bottom corners of the doors)
interior is near mint (charcoal color)

things that need to be fixed:
new gas cap cover ( biggest eye sore of the car)
low speed stall ( when stoping for stop signs sometimes it stalls , same with going into reverse its like it just idles too low and stalls)
it has a hiccup : when driving along the engine misses ( i guess ) its just one quick hiccup kind of like a hard shift

also this stock stereo just isnt loud enough something will have to be done about that i think

So this is were i try to be as active as i can on the forum
