1985 Buick Century review from North America
"Economic with luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stiff power steering.
Front wheel bearing unit.
Loose/leaky windshield.
Replaced rusted and leaking gas tank.
Normal stuff... brakes, exhaust, plugs, distributor cap, etc.
General comments?
My first car and I still drive it daily. It has been a very economical vehicle. I could not be happier. I hate to see the car dying a slow rusting death. I have always done all repairs myself and am very familiar with the car, which makes repairs easier. Good car to work on.
Diacom computer is very useful for diagnostics.
Performance of this car is poor other than ride quality.
