1988 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Like if a Nova and a Jeep had a love child, it would be my 1988 Buick Le Sabre"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Between when I bought it and now, all I have had to do to it is put a new water pump, alternator, battery and brakes.
Other than that, the previous owner said he put a new tranny in it around 150000 miles.
Front windows stick and fall into the door.
Arm rests are falling off, it was nothing a screw did not fix.
A.C. broke at 230000.
General comments?
Faster than my 1997 Mustang.
Can take on 4WD roads with ease.
Handles OK.
Very very comfortable.
Low maintenance.
Cruising machine.
Looks great.
I will keep it running until it dies, then I will fully restore it. That's how much I love my car.
