1989 Buick Skyhawk review from North America
"Not bad for $300"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New alternator.
New battery.
Serpentine belt fell off.
Seat belts too loose.
Dashboard misshapen.
Roof fabric hanging down.
Serious stains on carpet.
Replaced overflow tank for radiator.
New heater core.
When bought 11/02 it had 3inches of water sitting in the drivers side floor board.
General comments?
Well, other than the problems I had when it was first bought this car has been much more than I expected.
It has very low mileage for an 89 and it handles very nicely.
Its comfortable to drive and it's a blast around sharp turns.
