1983 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, just general maintenance.
General comments?
Pretty reliable for a sixteen year old dog. It's all original, 98K miles. A big ugly mutha that barely fits in the garage, but it's got character! The 307 is about as stoic and reliable as they get, but 140 horses ain't enough to push around 3800 pounds of old-fashioned Detroit iron. It sucks gas like a sieve and it's hard to park, though, so I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, for being 18 feet long, it has no room anywhere inside.
