The transmission started to slip around 185,000 miles, but with that many miles we weren't surprised.
LOVED IT!!! This car ran strong for the time that we had it. It had a lot of power for a car, and being that it was front wheel drive, it was fairly good in the snow.
I am a fan of GM cars and I loved this one. I liked that the doors locked automatically when putting the car in gear. The power seats were a nice touch and they were very comfortable. We got a lot of life out of this car, and wish it didn't have to go, but it was time to move on.
I had a 1994 Buick Century with 29,000 miles on it last year. If I knew you loved them that much I would have sold you that car.
Great story. Keep up the frugality. Guess what? You're in fashion these days.
