Hi all,
I'm interested in getting a Chevy Nova, most likely the 1975-1979 series, for a daily driver for my wife, but was wondering what can be generally expected of the inline-six 250 as far as reliability and longevity before it needs a rebuild. I live in Puerto Rico where there are tons of Novas for sale all the time, and am tired of throwing money into repairs for newer cars due to mysterious sensor failures, etc. I want simple; before we moved here from NY, I owned a 1980 1-ton 4X4 Chevy K-30 with a straight-six 292 and wow, I loved that truck! It was an ugly rusty beast, but had a lot of torque, especially good for plowing snow, so ever since then I've been wanting the 250 version in a car that's easy to fix myself, being a "shade-tree" mechanic. Eventually will sell my little Mazda pickup and get a straight-six Chevy pickup for myself also. Love the inlines! Thanks for any advice.
