1985 Buick LeSabre Limited Collector's Edition review from North America
"One of the best full-size vehicles ever produced"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the radiator and all belts and hoses @ 90,000 miles.
Replaced OE muffler with Flowmaster and OE cat with high-flow converter @
97, 000 miles.
Replaced rear drums when I needed new brakes @ 105,000 miles.
General comments?
The most comfortable and reliable car I have ever owned.
I have had many offers from friends and total strangers to buy my LeSabre, but the most impressive ones have been $6,000 twice and I turned down both offers.
I am keeping this car as long as I live.
The velour seats are as comfy as a Lazy Boy recliner and they are still flawless.
Tinted windows and a new sound system only made this ride even more enjoyable.
The Olds 307 5.0 V8 runs great and sounds even better with the Flowmaster muffler.
I just had her emissions tested and passed way under the new strict state/ federal standards.
Next is auto-dimming/ temp/ compass rearview mirror.
After that a moonroof and new paint.
