Used Chevrolet Caprice for Sale

I loved the power behind this 8 cylinder engine, I would often rev it to get people's attention as to avoid honking at people and startling them. I did not like the plastic parts on the interior, as they would often need to be replaced due to the sheer age of the vehicle and resin being very cheap and/or breaking easily. I found having a caprice station-wagon through the years really adapted to my lifestyle. For example, I drove over a very high grade bridge with a heavy metal canoe INSIDE the car, sticking out the hatch with no issues, and with all my high school friends in tow. I could load up all the groceries I needed when moving into my first apartment. I even slept in the back in a parking lot once to save money. I would definitely buy this car again due to its dependability, as I fishtailed repeatedly once on a slippery ramp due to no tire tread and the car didn't even come close to tipping or spinning out. The electrical parts needed to be replaced due to age and newer quality components available twenty years after the car was manufactured. Things didn't start going downhill with the "computerized brain" of the vehicle until over 150000 miles. Overall, I know this car has saved me so much money, excellent grocery getter. I realize now what all the hype was about in the 70's when almost every family had a station wagon. It isn't a Bentley, it isn't fancy, but it is a very enjoyable car.

We bought the car used when I was a senior in high school, and it was my sister's first for two years while she was in college. It survived trips from her school to home several times a year and was great for any of the local driving she had to do. When she no longer needed it, it became my ride, and my escape from the humdrum of my home life. I've spent many hours in it just riding around and not even giving a care. Considering its' age, and the fact we bought it used initially, my Caprice has held up extremely well. Of course general maintenance is needed, but overall my Caprice has brought much joy and convenience to my life.

I bought this car second hand from an older couple. I put limited miles on it as I store the vehicle during the winters. I have the LT1 which is an awesome motor for power, towing, and economy. I can easily average 26 mpg. When pulling my 2100lb camper, I average 17 mpg cruising at 70mph; hard to beat that with an SUV. The ride is quiet and smooth; the leather seats are comfortable for long rides and I really enjoy the simple dashboard layout. The trunk size is great as well. I have never had a space shortage problem. Overall, the Caprice is quite the car; its very versatile and a wolf in a sheep's skin.
