I Won a 1 Owner 1995 Chevy Cavalier for $425! How Broken is it?

[@beepbeepmichael]

I mentioned this on instagram but for those who care and didn’t get to see it I live where the car came from. This car would always be at the supermarket on Saturday’s. Seemed to be an elderly person. So happy to see it going to a good new home. HUSTEDT CHEVROLET which is where it came from in Centereach isn’t even there anymore (closed in 2010 and is now a Hyundai dealer) that is how maintained this car truly was. Such a cool find

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you for sharing this info. I have a while new top end for this car.

[@beepbeepmichael]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds that is awesome. Enjoy it for me. I miss seeing it in its spot at the store. I hope the old owner of it is ok and nothing bad happened. Clearly they didn’t drive it much more then the store and back in the last 5-10 years

I think you and nick should make this a project together and I think that would be a great starter car for him

[@leah5580]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds As the former owner of a $500 chevy cavalier, I love seeing them out there. I couldn't afford to put her back together (needed brake line, master cylinder, all new everything rear brake wise) so I lost my job when she had to go but I was so grateful for time w her. Hopefully this lovely little cavalier finds a good home just like mine did when I couldn't take care of her anymore.

I would keep the Cavalier as a shop car to run errands with and pick up parts, camera car for yt videos, etc. I would troubleshoot the temperature sensor for the electric fans, maybe its bad? The cooling fans wiring runs through the ignition switch, it could be a worn ignition switch? You could get a lot of content from this car. 1. paint bumpers body color at Maaco, 2. head gasket removal-replacement, I think the tapping noise is the power steering pump? If it is the top end, it might be just a lifter loose? 3. high performance tires and shocks. She's a keeper!!!!

Man I worked on these at the Chevy dealer a long time ago. If I remember correctly almost all of these had a special policy on the head gasket replacement. I did a bunch of them for that external coolant leak you were talking about. I also ran into coolant weeping through the cylinder head around the spark plugs. Usually the GM cooling system seal tabs would stop that instead of replacing the head. It's hard for me to tell in the video but most of that noise from the engine almost sounds like a loose timing chain to me. I did a bunch of timing chains on them for noise. My dad currently has my blue 95 4 door Cavalier sitting in his barn if you need another. Lol

What a treat. My first brand new car was a 99 coupe in white. The tag read: "$11,808 after all incentives" . It had the upgraded 4 speed auto with traction control, of course the ABS, body side moldings, body colored bumpers, spoiler [part of option package 1 or 2] . I've always considered it one of GM's better designs in two door form, in the same vein as the 65-69 Corvair two door hard top. It got wiped out after 5 years, freshly paid off and detailed waiting at a stop light going to work in a rear ender at 5 am. It's still mourned and odds are it would still be in my driveway judging by it's replacement's 20th anniversary this January. No 05 Cavaliers by that point and the then new Cobalts were all overpriced and over-optioned or I would have replaced it with another Chevrolet. So it was followed by another GM FWD relative to the Cobalt, the ION at a better price than the Cobalts on offer and not that much more than what I had paid of the 99 Cavalier 50,000 miles and just 1 recall, no problems. Maintained like it was some sort of prestige luxury car. Such a burn. It owed it's purchase to the 84 Citation II notchback I had owned earlier in the decade and really loved. Similar size and shape. And that owed it's purchase to having driven my Father's 84 Oldsmobile Ciera and realizing what a nice car it was. The whole GM X, A, J, N, L platform back story was fascinating. There was something really honest about it. I loved the yester-tech of the OHV engine and the fact that the platform still had it's roots in the original 82, [though for 95 60% of it was all new]. Thanks for featuring this. Makes me want another one and go backwards for a daily driver. Even though the 05 only has 85,000 miles on it after all these years.... if I found the right 95-2002 Cavalier..... This car confuses me: This is a base coupe but that's the upper trim LS "Sport Cloth" seat upholstery. The base seat cloth looked like seaweed, yet the car has the base car's grey bumpers. The spoiler, also from upper level RS type models, but both it and the sun roof, like the cruise, seem like aftermarket. An electric sunroof was offered on the coupe, but not a manual. What was the manufacturer's date of this car? IIRC Chevrolet was slow to get off the mark in manufacturing even though they came from three factories: Lordstown, OH, Lansing MI and Mexico. I saw a base coupe at the LA Auto Show when they first came out and wanted one from that point forward. Worth putting the money into it.

Had a 6 speed gated shifter and you did have to use the clutch. I just applied what I learned from hearing about how to drive and video game experience to drive my first stick shift. Me and one of the neighborhood kids were walking down the street and someone had a sign in the car window saying it was for sale. He dared me to talk to the owners about getting a test drive. Guy came to the door and said "this is my wife's car, she's not home right now but if you can drive a manual, i'll ride with you around the block"...I said "Sure, I can drive stick".....I was so proud of myself for pulling off that lie. I had NEVER really driven a stick and I ONLY stalled it one time....that was on a hill. The guy selling the car said "you drive stick way better than me!"...

The older 2.2 and older yet 2.0 had the headmaster issue. Usually around 100k you'll need to replace the gasket and that's usually it. I've had 3 cavys on my 4th one now, but has the ecotech which basically is bulletproof inside and out. I have a 94 s10 that's had the gasket replaced (2.2). Basically it's good for around 10 years or around 100k depending. I know quite a bit about these little cars. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I had an 01 cavi it was a 4 door LS with the 2.4 Twin Cam and it was a tank. It had all the power options too!

Back in 95 my dad had a choice of a first Gen Sonata or a cavalier (he did not have much money)… he chose the Sonata and it was a great choice for him, as it was larger and more comfortable, but was nearly the same price as the cav… that’s what was amazing about Hyundai back in the day

I've had in the past two Pontiac sunfires 2005. Both of them the twin to the cavalier both made it to 300,000 MI with basically no major issues. They had the 2.2 ecotec

Haven't seen one of these since like probably 2017 or so, up in WA state. These were everywhere when I was growing up, not so much anymore.

This car brings back some memories for me as well. I actually bought one of these that looked *almost* exactly like this one, 2 door, but it was a '97 and a different shade of green... but same kind of bumpers and everything. In 2014 I only paid 500 for it! It ran great! I mean it was starting to rust commonly around the rear wheels pretty bad, no A/C, it was rough.. but that f**ker was fun to kick around town. Good times lol friends and I called it the "crapalier" haha but it was actually not a bad car aside from the condition mine was in. Yours here is in alot better shape (except for the engine)

When you’re recharging, you should flip the can upside down so the liquid can enter. Facing forward will make it only gas go in the will sit down at the bottom. Tips from Hvac.

Thanks for the video Randy ❤

I believe that color is called bright aqua metallic. Quintessential 90's! I don't know about the Cavalier, but in the Pontiac Sunfire twin you could get the bright aqua interior to match.

[@TimeCapsuleClips530]

The interior cloth reminds me of our old 2000 corolla with that same design

My friend had one in high school in the late 2000s. He always offered to drive but I never rode in it. I never felt safe riding in it. But like Randy says. It's better than walking.

[@jenniferstephany9231]
