1979 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Great car for the price I paid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator burnt out and killed battery.
Tires dry rotted.
Two-toned with chrome.
General comments?
Bought at auction.
Palm Beach Limited Edition. They said they there were 4000 of them made. No one has heard of it.
Often confused with a pimp-mobile. Wife does not want to get in it.
Seniors keep trying to buy it.
Starts smooth, rides excellent.
Young folk at auto-supply store can't believe it has an X motor in it. They say it is an olds motor, but I know different.
