1989 Buick Century custom review from North America

"Great Solid, safe, reliable, fun car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

No major problems ever happened with this car. The only repairs made were regular maintenance that you would expect from any other car. Nothing major, and nothing that was expensive. However I must have patched and replaced the muffler twice, but that is most likely due to the harsh winters and the salt covered roads of New England that would cause more than normal rust. In New England, any car over 10 years old is considered old because cars just do not last as long around here with our winters and salty roads.

I love this car and would buy another one in a second, but the only major complaint about his car was the power windows. I wish I never had power windows. As power windows get old they are terrible. Three out of the four windows broke within 6 months, leaving the drivers window the only functioning window.

General comments?

A great car that is not at all under powered. This car is comfortable and has a very reliable motor and transmission. This car is also very solid. This car was in an accident involving a Mitsubishi that ran a stop sign. The frame beams in the bumper destroyed the other car leaving it completely totaled and in need of a tow, while my Buick had just a small crack in the fiberglass and still in perfect running condition.

The car did very well on gas and was a truly fun car to drive with a lot of character. They just don't make cars like this anymore. A truly 1980s tank with great quality and character.
