1990 Buick Park Avenue Electra review from North America
"Reliable Luxury Economy sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the air conditioner compressor, after I purchased the vehicle. cost around $350.00 after getting it recharged.
General comments?
Great fuel economy with a big car ride.
I put 242,00 on a 88 park, and boy are these engines reliable.
This general motors platform are a great buy on the used car market, as most new purchases are made by older couples, who take care of their vehicles and perform routine maint.
Great ride, very comfortable with a touch of class. You must keep all of your service work up to date. Weaknesses are front disk brakes, some electrical systems and that auto trans must be serviced regular, Do this and you to can get 250,000 mile on a US car and still sell for $1500.00.
I am mow looking to get a newer model Park or Lesabre for my wife, her 1989 model just turned 180,000 miles. We will pass this on to our son and buy another Buick.
