1984 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"If you can, rip out the wimpy V6!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power windows sometimes don't work.
AC/heater controls are flaky sometimes.
Fuel pump.
Electric choke.
The little LeSabre passenger side dash thing only lit up one night back in 94??
General comments?
Had the car since high school and is my baby. I have since pulled the wimpy 231 and swapped in a 300+ hp Chevy 350. This car was made to have a small block V8 and has responded very well to this upgrade.
Very comfortable and roomy inside (I am 6'1 220).
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car, just a lot of minor things (the car is almost 20 years old now!)
