1987 Buick Park Avenue Electra review from North America
"Great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to replace most of the electronics that control the engine at a cost of near $1000.
Original exhaust is still working but needs replaced.
Air compressor for the air shocks is bad, but the shock rotted off years ago. Seal on cylinder broke and had to be replaced at 225,000 miles.
Air conditioner has never worked since we owned it.
General comments?
It handles good.
It has been very reliable with that many miles on it.
Seats are extremely comfortable.
Engine burns only a little of oil.
