1983 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Couldn't get any better!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Carbourator ran rich, but when I replaced it my car went from 7MPG to 16-20MPG.
I had a MAJOR vacuum hose leak. Well actually it looked like someone slit one of the hoses. It cause me to loose A LOT of power, but once I fixed it (which only cost me about $7) I had the power I knew this baby had.
The paint on the top of the car and the trunk was beginning to chip, but nothing I couldn't deal with.
General comments?
This car was awesome. If I didn't crash it and total it, which let me say took a really bad accident to break this bad boy, I would still have her.
I personally fell that you cannot get any better than this car. I loved mine so much I named her "Big Bertha".
I currently drive a '98 Pontiac Sun-fire and everytime I hit a bump or dip I feel like I'm gonna break my car, but in my Buick I could take anything and feel like I was floating. Best ride around!
