1990 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Keeps on going, and going, and going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery at 180,000 miles
Starter at 180,000 miles
Drum Brake Cylinder at 207,000 miles.
General comments?
Everything is original on this car, including the muffler and altenator. I have done nothing to this car except for your usual tune-up. The only mechanical problem the car has are the power windows in the front which operate, but very slowly. After 13 years and 207,000 miles it can still spin the tires from a dead stop.
