1988 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"An Incredible car, one that I'll keep forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor oil pan gasket leak.
Hood latch cable loose.
General comments?
This car is a hidden gem, comfort and power behind a relatively plain exterior.
Gobs of power and surprisingly nimble for a car of its size.
I Inherited this car from my grandfather, it sat in storage for several years, yet started right up when it was brought out of storage... unbelievably reliable.
This is absolutely THE most comfortable car I've ever sat in, other manufacturers ought to take some design tips from Buick.
