1995 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"It is not that good of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a lot of problems with leaks. I have had to replace plenum upper and lower intake manifold gasket's. The transmission pan gasket, oil pan gasket, transmission cooler lines, radiator and upper lower hoses and water pump. All leaking at around 110,000 miles. I have also had to replace wheel bearings and wheel cylinders. I have also had to replace Air compressor at a price of about $900.00 parts and labor.
It is a very expensive car to keep up. I should note to that I have replaced the radiator twice in six month's. I am currently trying trace a coolant leak that I myself or the dealership cannot seem to find.
General comments?
I do not know what is in the future for this car if I keep it or not. I have to say that it is a cozy car and very expensive to maintain. I have to say that it is still cheaper than a car payment every month.
