1983 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"The Buick that was an indestructible party on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the alternator shortly before I sold it. Otherwise, it was extremely dependable, needing only a tune up and routine maintenance.
General comments?
It was very comfortable, classy, and solid. I reenacted some scenes from the Dukes of Hazzard many times in this car, until I finally broke the frame above the right rear wheel, which is my reason for selling it. However, the buyer somehow welded it and still drives it to this day. That Buick had the greatest atmosphere for going on road trips/ road parties...
