It has the Aluminum 4.1 engine… RUN LIKE HELL and don’t ever look back….. This was one of the worst engines EVER made…

This was called the 4100 HT engine (the joke was that you should “Have Two”) They had so many issues with this engine that dealerships had crates of them in stock at all times….

From a mechanical perspective it would be a HUGE mistake to buy this car…

Do a google search about this engine, I can’t stress enough how bad a Lemon this engine was… I wouldn’t take that car if you gave it to me….

TK, the Chevy Vega engine was worse but not by much. It musta been designed by the same engineers. Maybe they were designed by Daewoo!

My Doc. used to have one of those and when I went for a visit we discussed his car more than my health.
