1994 Buick Century Special review from North America
"Poor mans caddy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to fix an oil leak which was about 650$ and new tires were 199$. AC charge 129$
General comments?
I found it this on the used lot at a Saturn dealership. It was traded in with only 50K miles on it!!! I assume someone older had it prior to me. I got it for 2800$ (before tax). Although I've had to put some money into it I've seen cars about this age in really rough shape for at least a thousand or 2 more so the repairs make up the difference.
The body has some rust and some dings, but it happens after 11 years. It rides like a more expensive car.
Everything works! Even the old style power antenna!
This is my go to work car.
