Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a Chevrolet Corsica 1989 with approx. 40,000
miles and I'm wondering what are the normal problem for this type of
car?

All answers would be appreciate.
Thanks
Peter

I had a very bad luck, I bought a new junk Corsica for my daughter, and I took to the dealer at least 8 times for the cooling fan problem and cause my engine overheated, some electric sockets short, because the sockets melted, finally she has to put a 2 x 4 wood in her car, sometimes she has to open the hood and put the 2 x 4 and tight it and let the air go through, otherwise she can not come back home from riverside (UC Riverside ) to Studio City, LA. Depends how luck you are. Good luck.

Peter, I have a 1988 Corsica LT with a 3L V6 and 5-speed transmission;
it now has 105,000 miles on it. I can't comment on the automatic
trans., if this one is so equipped. If it has a manual, beware of the
clutch. The clutch plate warps easily. I replaced mine at 67,000
miles (a bit early). I also needed to replace the computer twice, and
the ignition coil once (it doesn't have a coil, but I just don't know
the name of the device that provides the power to the plugs). The
alternator went up at about 90,000 miles, and I replaced the cooling
fan motor at about 100,000 miles. I don't think that this is
excessive, considering I paid $3000 less than a comparable equipped
Honda Accord in 1988. This not a rap on Honda, just a reason to
consider a less ezpensive car, as I did.
