1980 Buick Century limited sedan review from North America
"Good car cheap parts all around. I like it for being my first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well recently I just started to fix it up because it was sitting in my drive way for about 5 years so I had to replace a bunch of stuff ill just make a list:
Battery Died.
Replace Radiator hoses both top and bottom.
Fuel filter and fuel line.
Change Transmission filter and oil seal's Front seal and Back seal.
Fix exhaust leak and get whole new exhaust system.
Put in new Head Gasket.
Need to align the wheels.
Some paint peeling from bird poop.
New air cleaner and new air cleaner hose.
New breather
Need new tires badly
General comments?
This car is fast I don't know the top speed, but it can hall its own and then some, but it still needs work.
Interior good.
It ran right when I put a new battery in it sounded like CRAP though.
