1983 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"I'd buy 10 more old Buicks if I could"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie rod ends $33.
Valve cover gaskets $11.
Front sway bar bushings $6.50.
Idler arm $11.
General comments?
This car is pretty cool; I paid $300 for it, and it gets me to work every day.
It's missing vital engine parts but still runs fine. The engine computer is M.I.A., the choke is gone, but it still runs great and gets pretty good mileage for 5000 pounds of old steel.
