1989 Chevrolet Caprice Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Though it was a big pig - heavy, ponderous, and underpowered, I enjoyed the three years I spent with my '89 Caprice Classic Estate wagon. My Caprice had the low- compression Olds 307 with the electronic QuadraJet and was not exactly a rocket. But what can you expect from a vehicle that weighed 4,000 pounds? Acceleration, braking and handling were adequate for a vehicle of this size. Build quality was decent and held up pretty well over time. However, rust (mostly hidden behind the vinyl wood paneling) became a problem. Exterior styling was... well, it was a blocky station wagon with fake wood paneling. Not exactly beautiful. The interior was typical of its day: velour and plastic. It was comfortable, and fully loaded. A/C, cruise, tilt, power windows, power driver's seat. Gas mileage was acceptable on the highway and negligible in the city. Overall, I enjoyed the Caprice. It was roomy, quiet, unique (in a world of melted jellybean-looking vehicles), and the sound of a V8 under the hood was always welcome. Jul 15, 2009

this 20 year old car is in absolutly in mint condition. only 5k per year and its the LS. Looks as good as new and with white and blue is just how i would have bought it brand new.i would rather have this one than a brand new SS impala. you dont worry about gas milage with a car like this its a classic. love it. i promise to have a photo next time. im not gonna pimp this car out i want it in its original classic condition. I loved these cars back in 1989 when they were brand new but could not afford one. it was worth the wait. Oct 14, 2008
