Had:
70 Firebird 350 255,000 til it was totaled by my mom in 83. Used by the whole family. Never apart but timing chain.

72 GTO with 455 & AT, daily driver from 82-99 never apart, 217,000 til it started using oil. Well worn car. Sold it for about 3K in 99. Joe at parts place ended up with it somehow.

85 Grand Am 3.0L V-6 196,000 til it was sold to a guy taking it to Puerto Rico, only a timing chain.

87 Grand Am 3.0L V-6 297,000, only a timing chain besides maintenance; donated it to a friends kid learning to drive, didn't last 6 months til he wrecked it.

95 Grans Am 3.0L V-6, 286,00, original exhaust, head gaskets x2, sold it last summer. Girl still using to deliver pizzas, no problems.

My current 02 Grand Am 3.1 V-6 126,00 still going, only maintenance costs.

My 89 GMC 1500 4-wd just turned 236,000, never apart, engine or trans except fluid change. Figured I m on borrowed time on that 700R4 but still works good.

Bought the top 4 used, bottom 3 new.

I have no complaints about GM cars.
