1987 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"A good car for $400"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right after I got the car it broke down. I had to replace the Computer Command Controll module, which cost me $150, then I had to replace the fuel pump twice at $93 a piece. And now I need to replace the whole exhaust system because I hit a dip going 55 mph. The left front fender is bashed in from the previous owner. It has no headliner. But you can't expect a car that you paid $400 for to be perfect.
General comments?
The car has a lot of power and is pretty reliable.
It's interior is comfortable and is pretty nice, the only problem with it is the fact that the seats don't lean back, it's a good car for a tall person like me.
It has electric door locks, but no power windows or anything like that.
The stereo is nice for factory.
