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 really love this car! She is reliable and rides wonderfully. Her handling is fantastic. Her motor still purrs, despite her being a 25 year old vehicle. She has needed minimal fixing, mainly just maintenance things. She turns on a dime for such a large vehicle. The inside of the car is soft, plush, and comfortable. Perfect for long distance traveling. The trunk has a ton of space. The car looks sharp, especially in white wall tires. I am getting complimented all the time over her. She carries herself with a certain dignity not seen in more modern vehicles. Her acceleration is good for such a heavy car. She has to be over a half a ton, and yet she still has spunk about her. Her breaks work beautifully for such a large car. She makes me feel very safe when driving her. Compared to the cars on the road today, she is a very solid car. I know she could take a lot more then modern vehicles. My only complaint would be the amount of fuel she uses. She is an 8 cylinder, and with the cost of fuel being what it is, it can get costly to keep her full. Other then that, she is wonderful. Even the fuel situation is minor, compared to how good she has been to me!

I love the handling of the vehicle. It is quite responsive. The suspension of the car feels "boaty" in a good way, and makes you feel as though you are floating when going over cracks in the road. The exterior is solidly constructed. For example, I hit a deer on the way home from a long road trip, and the only damage was to the plastic trim on the solid chrome bumper. In fact, the only plastic on the whole exterior of the car is on the finishes of the bumper, and on the areas that support the headlights and tail lights.
