There should be a ABS Service Reminder Indicator on the Instrument Panel

Cool, thanks!

Okay, where the ((ABS)) light should be if appropriate, nothing flashes when I start the car. Plus I found the original dealer sticker for the car and it doesn't list ABS under the optional features. So - no anti-lock brakes.

Also I dropped it off this morning to have the oil changed and everything checked out and my mechanic told me to come up with a price for the Chevy when I'm ready to dump it and let him know, as he is definitely interested in buying it.

Seems like the perfect buyer as he has been working on it for several years and there's nothing about it that he doesn't already know. So we'll see.

But a price? I got no clue. The blue book value probably has a minus sign in front of it.

What year/model Chevy?

frau kaleun · 07-25-11, 11:09 AM

1989 Celebrity, well over 100k miles on it. Runs well and has been incredibly reliable altho keeping it that way has involved major repairs 1-2 times a year. Body/interior in really bad shape though.

Oh my...a Celebrity....

Ask your mechanic what he would like to pay for it. It is only worth as much as he is willing to pay.

Yes. Which is why just driving it off a cliff seemed like the most sensible option.

Well, the mechanic is telling me to think about what I want for it. Problem is, I didn't really want anything for it, other than to get rid of it as quickly and inexpensively as possible. I was prepared to call Goodwill and have them come take it away since supposedly they handle all the paperwork.
