Ironic, I have a 96 and a 95 caprice, (The 96 is an ex squad car) and they were/are the most reliable cars in my household currently. The transmission needs to be replaced on the 95, but I already have one in my 96 that I replaced before I spun a bearing in it. That would be my fault, I revved it up one too many times and the guy who reflashed the PCM set the shift points higher than the valve springs could handle at 140K miles. :oops: Now granted the valve springs in the LT1 weren't that great to begin with, :wack: but other than that the car was freaking awesome. Which is why I have 2 caprices and not one. :D We actually haven't had terrible cars. We have cars that are inexpensive to buy because they need work to be done on them. Typically about $1K worth on them. Then they run forever. The 95 needed a set of pads, an alternator, a new blower motor, a thermostat, and a belt. Everything except the the blower motor and the thermostat was scavenged off the 96. I have $60 invested in getting it to where it is now. My sister's MC however is the worse of the fleet. In cold weather you have to warm the car up for about 5-10 minutes before it'll shift into gear. And my brother's beemer... well, lets just say he bought it in early November and it took until late January before he was finally able to drive it around normally to where it wouldn't over heat, or throw coolant all over the inside of the windshield, or look like an electrical fire hazard behind the radio, or drain the battery, or not shift into reverse because 3 motor/transmission mounts were sheared off and the engine was sitting at an angle to where you physically couldn't...
