1990 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"A major pain in the butt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lets see: radiator, water pump, brake master cylinder, major electrical problem that cost over 500$.
Driver's side seat worn badly, tires, way too much to mention. I put almost 3,000 dollars in this thing and I paid 3,500. What a joke!
General comments?
This was my first car. I got it in the summer of 1997. I loved the ride and the interior of the car, but the thing nickle and dimed me to death. The would have been perfect if it would have been more reliable.
In June of 99 I sold it and got a 96 GMC Sonoma. I have written a review on that as well.
