1989 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"A reliable mile maker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor, ($5 bucks at Junkyard, $100 at part store) at 170,000 miles.
Brake lines are starting to rust at current mileage, and car is using brakefluid.
Replaced the radiator due to rust from living in a snow/salt enviroment.
Replaced the AC compressor, and condesor for air conditioning to work.
General comments?
Even with the above repairs this car is very reliable, if taken care of properly.
This is the second vehicle I have had from this family. I also had a chevrolet celebrity, which I got 200K miles out of.
