Used Chevrolet Nova for Sale

I picked this car up for $750, and it's been a godsend. After 30 years, it runs like a champ, is comfortable inside and looks stylishly retro on the outside. The gas mileage is acceptable and the handling is superb.

This is a basic American commuter 4 door. I have the basic level of trim but it does everything I ask of a car, and does so with a fair amount of fuel economy (about 29 miles per gallon American) and a comfortable price point. The fact that my vehicle has performed satisfactorily for over 20 years is a testament to it's quality. It also, due to it's limited appeal to younger and performance or aesthetically driven buyers and comparatively small engine, fairly inexpensive to insure even for a young male such as myself.

I bought this car with 71k on the odometer. That was six years ago and it still runs like a top. One carburetor rebuild and an alternator is all it has needed. While the 79 Nova doesn't have the prettiest exterior, and isn't one of the more prized years of Chevy, It still has a classic style and is considerably tougher looking in combination with some nice wheels. This car drives fantastic. The 305 small block isn't an overly powerful motor, but when working in tandem with a 3 speed automatic transmission it can still get up and go. I drove many a mountain pass with this car and it accelerates up the steepest of grades. I really love owning this car. It even does well in the winter with a good set of snow tires, because the thing is so short. I get about 15 MPG in the city and 18MPG on the highway. I was worried it would be a money pit when I bought it, but I have put 40 thousand miles on it. This Nova has really been a great buy and an excellent car to own.
