1984 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"It is an excellent, very reliable, comfortable good looking and roomy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator needed replaced when I bought it.
Put new tires on it.
Transmission leaks.
Rear bumper chrome is starting to mess up.
General comments?
Bought this 1984 Buick Le Sabre Custom in October 2007. Only had 41,000 original miles on it. Looked like a brand new car.
It is truly a beautiful looking car. This thing will be a classic one day. The Olds 307 V8 is an excellent running motor. It runs smooth, it's got the power when you need it, and it isn't bad on gas for a V8. I've put over 100,000 miles on it in less than a year, and had no problems at all. You usually hear bad things about the olds 307, but take it from somebody who has owned and driven one, It is a great motor. I can smash the gas pedal from a dead stop and smoke the tires down the street. It's not the fastest car in the world, but it will get up and move with no problem whatsoever. When the Quadrajet carb kicks in you can hear the rumble of the V8 there is nothing else quite like it.
The car is built exceptionally well. The interior still looks new, the car hasn't started to rust or anything. Very well made vehicle, Too bad car's aren't made like this anymore. These cars will last forever.
The interior is very roomy and will seat 6 with no problem at all. Very comfortable seats, unlike anything in cars built today. Beautiful interior with wood grain and chrome accents all over the inside.
The only problem I had with the car is the transmission has been leaking, and the rear bumper chrome has started to peel off on the bottom left side.
