1985 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Custom; reliable, comfortable, powerful, but a gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump was bad when I bought it.
Was smoking before I had the valve cover gasket put on.
New thermostat.
General comments?
Great car for what I paid. $450 used. We started off on a bad note though because it kept cutting off at the weirdest times. It turned out it was the fuel pump. Once I fixed that have had no real problems. Runs great but just burns so much gas. For a family this car is so roomy and comfortable.
They don't make em like this anymore. Pure metal!! It can TAKE a hit. Someone hit me and their car was totaled and mine only got a broken tail light! LOL. My Bessie has truly been good to me.
