1988 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"For $250 , the best car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil lea k- not too sure of the origins on that one. My guess is that it probably came from the valve cover gasket.
The alternator broke down at 120,000 miles, replaced it and put a new battery in it.
For $250, I can't complain too much!
General comments?
I love the look of this car, so innocent, yet can take care of any newer car on the road. Reliable and comfortable, this car is fast.
