Thanks for the tip about the solenoid and potential electrical issues. That's one thing that I noticed about this car is just the ridiculous and unnecessary amount of electric-powered buttons and dashboard indicators on board.
I prefer this any day:


I have heard good things about the engine though.

What's the old joke, a General Motors car will run longer badly than most cars will run at all.

I would say that looks like a rough 84,000 for that one, but basically all GM cars look like that.

Florida

Florida
When I was there many years ago a lot of cars like that FS
when seniors move to FL they buy one last car and put little miles on it
Than sell it when they can't drive anymore
Lots of great buys

The ultimate Lead Sled. They literally don't make them like this any more.

Dad put 227k on his '91 before donating it. He thought is wasn't worth replacing the exhaust. As mentioned above, that 3800 will last forever and also desirable if you do your own wrenching.

I wish your family many happy and safe miles.
