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.

I like the roominess of the vehicle. You can really stretch your legs. And the seats are so plush and comfortable. The performance is great. However, I within a year or two of buying this vehicle, it started to fall apart. Things began to fall off or break. The radio went, then the radiator, then the power windows. It was ridiculous.

The car size is very large with plenty of room in the inside. I love the older style cars and I even added white walled tires. It is a very large car and suffers on gas mileage. Overall I would give the 1988 Chevy Caprice a 6 out of 10 rating. The Caprice is both affordable and reliable. The parts are also common and cheap.
