1987 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"GM Junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking oil, valves chattering, computer went out and head gasket blew.
General comments?
I bought this car at a dealership for$800.Big mistake!
2 days later the valves started chattering. I noticed an oil leak.
2 months later I was going down the road one day and it just quit.
Turns out the computer went out.
A week later the head gasket blew!
I said to myself, I'll leave this junk alone.
Well, I traded that junky thing to this used computer I'm using right now. This computer is much better than that ol'pile of junk!
