1993 Buick Skylark Custom review from North America
"An American made car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator was replaced at 150,000 miles.
Brakes changed often (every 6 months).
Replaced the alternator.
Heater core was replaced at 130,000 miles.
Water pump went out at 155,000.
General comments?
This car is an excellent vehicle. The car has never had any major problems other than the wear and tear or what high mileage has caused. My Skylark has over 160,000 miles and has never leaked a drop of oil or any other fluid. I have kept up with the regular maintenence of changing the oil, transmission fluid, and spark plugs and wires. This car has stood up to its name of being a Buick. A bonus with this car is that it has great gas mileage and a "brace yourself" get up and go.
The only gripes that I have about this car is that I go through brakes about every six months, but as a surprise the factory rotors have gone with little to no damage. Also the car is very roomy in the driver's seat, but the rest of the cab seems to be a tight fit.
