1989 Buick Skylark Custom 2-DR review from North America
"Deal of the decade"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake lines need replacement.
The car stalled twice in the first week. But I think that was due to old gas. The car had been sitting covered for 8 months prior to my ownership.
That's it!
General comments?
2DR beauty. White exterior with plush maroon interior.
I came into an absolutely amazing deal with this Buick. Estate sale by brother in law. Only $CAN 2100.
Mint condition with fairly low kilometres for a 16 year old car.
The previous owner (2nd) ran the auto shop for a Canadian Tire and it was his baby.
There is nothing wrong with it at all.
Came with: New tire, new brakes, new muffler. Basically, the average things that can go wrong on a $2,000 car are all fixed.
Just took it in for an oil change and the shop could not believe how clean the undercarriage and motor was.
Perfect and so different than the new bubble cars that every company is making these days. I mean, even Volvo abandoned the crisp square lines.
