High mileage club?
Hi. YAll
I have owned 4 FWD Bonnevilles. '87SE (192K): '90SEE(169k): 90SE(157K) and 2000(35k). I sold to my 87 to my daughters sisterinlaw. At 245k, a mechanic dropped the pan to check bearings, etc., prounounced it good for another 100k, and bolted it back together. She then drove to 265k and wanting a new one, parked the 87. After setting for a year, I bought it back. I gave it to my step son, and he unfortunately missed drive on a "power shift" and threw a rod. I since sold it for the body to a guy that was installing a 180K motor and tranny. BYW, the 87 had the original everything (except for tires and timing chain) at 192k. I'm talking exhaust, battery, radiator, starter,... EVERYTHING! I never saw such a car! My 90'* are original engine, tranny, exhaust and radiators. They are showing the effects of Michigan winters with door sticking and a little rust. Sorry this is so long, but I am a real Pontiac enthusiast.

my 91 Bonneville LE has 177,000 and stilll going strong, now Im fixing a leaking fuel line and the whole tthing just broke apart including where it attaches to the fuel sending unit which is $122 and the rubber line with the 2 metal clips is $80 (a dealer item only) so with labor and the other parts its about $350 to fix, but my bonny is worth it, no other real expenses since the last big repair which was mostly due to my stupidity.

my odometer reads 312k, but its jacked though. at 95k one of the number wheels cracked, so then i pulled out the cluster, and superglued it. it works perfectly fine now, except it reads 200 k more then it should. nice thing is though that my compass and dic worked for a few months. any ideas that might make my dic and compass work when i open up my cluster again to fix my odometer before anybody notices. i know its not a fuse because the other day it worked for about 10 minutes and faded back out. drop me a message.
