1985 Buick LeSabre Limited Collector's Edition review from North America

"This is the best car I have ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the radiator at 90,000 miles because the original owner was an idiot and never flushed the cooling system.

Replaced the muffler at 95,000 miles with a Flowmaster because the old one had a softball-size hole in it. Replaced the factory cat with a high-flow cat at the same time.

Replaced the rear drums at 100,000 miles because the original owner never replaced the brake shoes or anything else on the brake system.

Recently the driver's power window switch went out. AutoZone-$40, no big deal. Easy to replace.

Cruise control works when it wants, but who cares?

General comments?

Air conditioning still cold and strong! (If you live in or visited AZ you would understand)

Vehicle runs great, very strong and always dependable (rumbles nice with the Flowmaster).

I haven't replaced the battery once.

Electrical system is holding up well. (I've heard the rumors about GM wiring)

There are no rips in the interior or headliner. The seats are so comfy it's like driving while sitting in a LazyBoy. (Seriously!)

I will never sell this wonderful machine. I've been offered $6,000 more than once.

She's getting restored to like new.

A good friend gave me heavy-duty Audi floormats and they fit.

Soon I will be getting a inbuilt power sunroof installed to enjoy the perfect winters here in AZ.
