1998 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Would not recommend this year model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold at 60000 and at 100000.
General comments?
Car rides good and gets good gas mileage, but we had to replace the intake manifold at 60000 miles and at 100000 due to the poor design of the plastic intake manifold it should have been aluminum. after market part is designed better than gm. the plastic over time melts a hole and causes antifreeze to leak into the motor. also had to replace the starter with the first repair due to it locking up.
