1991 Buick Century Limited from North America - Comments

The A/C compressor went at 95 000 kms.

Power Steering pump is squealing.

Seats have started to come apart at the seams.

Radio Antenna will not go up or down, stays running constantly. I have to pull the fuse to turn it off.

The car is a gas guzzler. I have to fill up every 4-5 days and it usually costs about 60 to fill up.

It's a 15 year old car, not many miles on it, so why are you complaining about it? Expect things to break apart or wear apart, if the vehicle isn't driven much, or a lot.

I've pretty well had same problems, plus more on my 91 LeSabre. Its normal, and all cars go through it before they reach the end of their life..

$60 to fill the tank in a Century!? That's roughly $3.75 a gallon! No way.

Gas may well be $3.75/gallon in Canada. As the other post states, this sounds like a pretty good car for being 15 years old, with relatively low miles. What does surprise me is that for the low mileage (6,300 kms/yr), you are having to fill it up every 4 days. You must have bought this used and are suddenly putting a drastic increase in usage on it. If the worst thing that happens is that the seams are starting to tear, I don't see the problem. That's why Advance Auto Parts sells seat covers for $15.99. You put them on to protect the seats. The power steering pump is squealing? Try checking the fluid level once in a while. I'm not really seeing a lot of basis for complaint on this car.

I have a 91 Buick Century with 123,500 miles on it. As of right now with gas prices at $1.93 a gallon it only costs me about $25 to fill up and the tank lasts me about a week and a half. The car has stayed in relatively good shape and in good working condition. Even with the abuse given to it by its previous owner. The only two problems with the car are it needs a new alternator and a transmission fluid leak in the bottom of the car. Both are not that big of a problem.

I'm am buying a 91 Buick Century with 100.000 miles on it. but the guy said that when it shifts into 1st gear its easy, but 2nd & 3rd is hard. some one told me to that it is a throttle pressure cable that goes from your transmission to your carburetor or throttle body. This controls the shift points and sometimes the heat causes the little plastic connector that holds it on to become brittle and break, causing erratic shifting is that what. is the what I need to fix. the engine stalls when it gets hot.. how do I fix that if someone can help me out.

Thanks.
