Picked up another z24 for a daily, pics
So i've had my eyes out for a cheap daily for a while now. Been driving my moms old car for a while trying to get this back on the road but there is just so much ---- I need to get for the red cav still... its a 97 5psd bone stock (with 190k!!!) Not crazy about the color of the car or tan interior but i'm not here to choose. Bluebook is 2100 with the mileage all all the options and i got it for 900 bucks. Drove it home unreg/uninsured from 4 hours away, got 500 miles to the tank and it runs perfect. I'll register it tomorrow.
and the other hotness

Personal Experiences w/ 95+ cav's...
1. 99 z24 owned by a friend. Motor kept spinning bearings (even after 100km), dealer warranty for 5 new motors. 5th motor was good until he got t-boned, wrote it off.
2. Electrical problems, headlight wires near washer fill always corode and fall apart.
3. other elec problems, misc things stop working, wipers, heater etc. in a friends car.
4. Brakes. Dont get me started on how easy these brakes take a dump. (warped fronts, seized backs).
5. weird clunks and thumps from front and rear suspension.
About the only thing good on these cars is the trans.
sorry.. if you havent guessed I hate cavaliers. I can atleast say what you do with them is admirable.
