1999 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"True"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recall for rear seat belts.
Passenger wiper motor went bad at 40,000 miles.
Wheels covers easily crack and caps have fallen off. Have been replaced at good price, though.
General comments?
This is an excellent car.
Though it does not hold a very high trade-in value I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.
This will be my last automobile and I see no problems with driving it for another 60 or 80 thousand miles.
I was looking for a new one though, and the style is the same. Buick definitely does need to make a redesign.
A great car for older folks like myself. My daughter has one also, and all three of my neighbors have new ones, too.
Highly recommended!
