Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
The Electra in everyday use

Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 1987 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
