1993 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"The perfect budget car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced water pump.
Replaced air conditioner compressor.
Converted air conditioner to R134a after a R12 leak.
General comments?
Excellent car for the money, don't be thrown by its low resale value. Its perfect for a college student, comfortable, cheap, and fairly fuel efficient. It has pep (after 20MPH) to boot!
Two major complaints: 1) HUGE turning radius 2) rectangular speedometer - rectangles should not ever be used as speedometers.
