Anybody have repair probs with this? Are you happy? I'm in the 3-days-to-back-out period trying to decide.

#628 of 1320 New battery created a click on starting. by landrews2 Oct 19, 2002 (9:01 am)
I am thinking of purchasing a 1994 Prism, 5spd. manual with 140,000 miles for $ 1400. It's been well maintained. Only one problem I need some suggestions on. The owner replaced the battery because it was 5 yrs. old, now on starting it clicks twice then starts right up. Any suggestions, does something need to be reset? Thanks for any suggestions.
#629 of 1320 Chevy Prism Fuel problems by jpgavin1 Oct 22, 2002 (7:31 am)
I have been to the dealer 3 times with my 02 Prism to get the check engine light turned off. I believe they replaced a valve last time. They said the first two times I didn't tighten the gas cap. Can anyone offer any advice?

My advice is to tighten the gas cap. I had to say it.
#631 of 1320 Comp/Coll Insurance on '92. Familiar grinding noises. by gwashington1 Oct 27, 2002 (10:21 am)
My 1992 Geo Prizm Sedan has 103 K miles. My comp and collision insurance is $120 per year and the trade-in is about $800. Average private retail is about $1200 and dealer retail $2200. Time to get rid of the comp and collision insurance, right? Let me know if I should not, as I am sure that the end has come for any use for this insurance. Even though the car is running sufficiently well to keep, I doubt if the insurance company would pay much if I had damage over the $200 deductible. They would just call it a total loss and give me the wholesale value minus my deductible. That means I am paying too much for nothing, I belive. Right?   BTW, it has the familiar grinding noise in the front end. I think it is the left front, but maybe that is because I can only hear that part. The dealer where I bought it fixed something. I think the axle, but the brakes were ok. Still makes the noise, but I went on a 1300 mile trip with no problems this month and since the thing has been grinding away and been checked I am not doing anything more. The car otherwise has been very good. Rare repairs, although lately it looks like an oil leak has developed, so I may have to have that checked. Good milage still. Most repairs were more or less expected. Anything would have been an improvement over the piece of old Chrysler junk I spent a fortune on for useless repairs and finally traded in for a charitable $100, as well as for numerous other older, purely American sedans of various makes. I recommend the Chevy Geo or, if you want to throw money away, buy the Toyota version.
#632 of 1320 English or metric tools? Details on the front grinding noise? by nieander Nov 06, 2002 (9:49 am)
If the guts are Japanese does that mean that everything is metric on this car? I'm contemplating buying a used one and will perform my own maintenance. I'd like to not have to buy another set of tools -- I already have metric for my old BMW.   Also, what are the common explanations for the grinding noise so many people are mentioning? Anybody have a straight answer form a dealer they trust? Any TSB's or recalls?   Thanks for the help.
#633 of 1320 Insurance + Metric... by csandste Dec 02, 2002 (5:29 pm)
1. You should have dropped this years ago. They're making big $$$ on you given the risk.   2. This is essentially a Toyota built at the Fremont NUMMI plant. I wouldn't expect any parts not to be metric.
#634 of 1320 Geo Prizm service by mott_da_hoople Dec 13, 2002 (4:06 pm)
Has anyone taken their Prizm to a Toyota dealership to have oil changes, tuneups etc? Will a Toyota dealership work on a Prizm?
#635 of 1320 norbs by norbs Dec 18, 2002 (8:48 am)
Have a 96 Prizm LSI since new. It is my wifes car and she won't part with it. 136,000 miles and did 1st brake job at 112,000. Original clutch and drives like new. Never been garaged or been back to the dealer. Did timing belt at 80k and it was like new due to the good machining of the toyota pulleys on the 1.8 engine. Stainless steel exhaust doesn't rust. Corolla has reg exhaust even tho built in the same plant. That was the deciding factor for us living in New England. Changed the orig battery yesterday only because it must be doe for change. Don't want to get stranded somewhere because of a dead battery. This has been our alltime best vehicle. Other car is 99 Malibu. both been flawless. 71,000 on the Bu. Thanks GM
