1989 Buick LeSabre T Type review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the window moter on both sides replaced at 50,000 miles pinky on window drivers side at 55,000 at around 75,000 miles the A/C compressor went bad and at 90,000 the radiater internal cooler fore the transmission leaked water in the trans. at aroung 125000 miles had a intake gasket leak water into the Eng. Repalced headliner at 130.000. repainted the car at 189.000. this car has been the best car I have ever bought, My son is driving it now and the kids at his school love the car and are looking to find one like it. the leather seats have been replace at the same time as the car was painted, this car looks and drives like a new one and shuld last fore 10 more years.
General comments?
The car rides great and after over 180.000 miles it's still quick the eng is verry tight. never had any problems with the trans and still has the factory struts on the car.
