1985 Buick LeSabre LIMITED EDITION review from North America
"Seventeen years old and still goin strong"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had all the GM Cars, but this car sold me on Buick.It's had its problems. The tranny went at 100,000 miles. but that's not a bad run. Everything else like exhaust system, carburetor, springs, shocks, was also replaced, but that's just maintenance on a car this old. Overall it's still a realiable car that's hard to part with. it has a way of growing on you. if the new Buicks are better than these. then there some good car's. Too bad you have to wait till 2019 to find out.
General comments?
The paint job is still glossy. interior is sturdy and shows no wear. the motor proved to be a motor that stands the test of time. you just can't kill it.
