92 Pontiac Transport - opinions?
Hi all,
A friend is looking at a 92 Pontiac Transport SE minivan. It has high miles (188k), but paint and exterior appear to be in surprisingly fine shape despite mileage and age. Interior is fair and needs some work. It has a 3800 V6 and seems to run good. Seller is asking $1000, but would probably take $800. Any opinions about this minivan model or year? Thanks TR |

Does the seller have maintenance records? Not to be rude but you can't expect much reliability out of an $800 car. Many of us here have bought cars like this and gotten another 100k out of them but I'm sure there are just as many that have sent them to the junk yard a thousand miles later. It's a crapshoot. Good Luck!! Steve B. |

I appreciate all of the replies to my original post. My friend eventually
bought the van for $1000 and has had it about a week. He's put well less than $100 in repairs into it and has fixed all of the broken door handles and replaced the burned up wiring harness to the dash, so now everything works great. Also looks and runs great. TR "92APV" > wrote in message ... > Have the same vehicle in Chevy flavor. 3.8 is bulletproof and the van > is All fiberglass, will never rust. |
