1992 Buick Century Special review from North America
"Amazing if only they still made cars like this!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it needed pads and rotors that I replaced myself.
I bought two new tires which were $60 each.
I had the oil changed twice at $11 on ladies day at Monroe muffler.
The Tumbler in went the day I bought it so I could not start the car. Cost a lot for a tow and for a locksmith to make new keys and put the new ignition in.
The car only had 82,000 miles when I bought it and cost me $1,500.
The last fix has been the most expensive. A Lady hit me and it will cost 1,700 for a new bumper and a side light! More than the car…so it may be a total loss : (
General comments?
The insurance company is paying, but they may total my car being as the car’s only valued at $2,250 and they want the fix cost to be 75% of the value or less. The car is a great ride and a good car. If someone hits you be wary your insurance my try to total your car! It’s worth it though the Buick Century’s are amazing cars. The woman who hit me was in a SUV dented my car only slightly and ruined her axle. Ha…that’s great American cars for you!
