This is based on recent trade-ins.
I’m guessing it’s been a while since anybody traded in a Vega, Pinto, or Gremlin, LOL.

I enjoyed my Chevy Vega and never had a problem with it until the engine threw a rod at 100,000 miles. I was in Germany at the time and left it there. I bought the large radiator that was for the A/C version but didn’t get A/C, thus had sufficient cooling. I remember the german mechanic who replaced the exhaust system said that Chevy should have put the Opel 4 cylinder engine in it instead of the aluminum one they did. I replaced it with the Chevy Monza version when I got back to the states. And drove that car for 14 years and 180,000 when all of the oil seals went after a 800 mile day long drive.

What a piece of crap that was. Aluminum block which seized the engine if it over heated.

My brother had one. Brought it back to the dealer twice. Turned out the thermostat was defective.
