Nice to meet everyone.  I picked up a 1999 Cavalier 2dr Coupe 175k miles, 2.2l motor, Automatic, A/C doesn't blow cold, it needs a battery body has standard rust(behind the doors and around the edges) needs a windshield, motor purrs like a kitten.  It needs a couple O2 Sensors, but the Interior is near mint.  $650 turn key and drove it 25miles home 85mph.  What a champ!  I already love this car!  So....go ahead and tell me the bad stuff???  This will be my sons 1st  car.  He turns 16 next month and I couldn't pass this up!  What do you think?
 
i bought my 99 cav with 162k for about 800 and it had the same symptoms as yours lol. minus the rust. (im in cali). 2.2 IMO makes for a great first car. 
 
 
Picked up a windshield today $175 installed NEW!!!!
 
great car as long as you maintain it
 
 
damn i paid close to 300 i think for my window... safelite.  lifetime though. 
 
 
To me right now the car is Junk!!  Transmission problem so it wont pass E-Check!  What a disappointment!
