1987 Buick Regal T Type review from North America
"A ghetto-sled exterior with copious room and refinement inside."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just replaced the transmission.
The heater core and water pump went bad about two years ago.
The door strips came off.
There is a mystery "service engine soon" light that no one can diagnose.
The driver's side seat and door are worn because of use.
General comments?
The T tops still don't leak, but because the driver door sags a bit water comes in the driver's window.
This car looks good and handles well.
It was well worth the money I paid for it.
I don't like that there are gages in the vehicle, just dummy lights.
Overall this is has been a really good car.
