1986 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"Great Town car and cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cooling fan sensor failed at 88,000 Miles.
Heater Core went out at 90,000 miles.
Replaced Water pump at 94,000 miles.
General comments?
Very reliable car if you treat it good. I got it for $1800, a reasonable price. This car is great for commuting to work, or just cruising around town. I've had some problems with the driver side window motor, but other than that, the interior is in great condition! This car has more power than you think, with a 3.8 L 231 C.i. engine. It can easily peel out (which I have done one too many times).
If you maintain this car, it will perform a whole lot better. I have had few problems in the two years I have had it, costing around $700, which is not bad at all, considering the age. This car is almost 20 years old, and I have BEAT a brand new Dodge neon off the line!!!
In conclusion, this car is great if you are looking for affordable comfort, and a good car to get to work everyday. I give it 9 out of 10.
