1984 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"One of a kind"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New tires and shocks all around when first bought.
Driver's side air-induction pipes and check valve replaced.
Diver's side power station windows and locks went out, fixed windows with speaker wire, power locks still broken.
Trans rebuilt with the addition of shift kit.
Motor mounts replaced.
Complete brake job- front rotors, rear drums replaced, pads, etc.
Muffler rusted off and replaced along with rear end of tailpipe.
TPS in carb went out, replaced.
Valve cover seals replaced.
Front sway bar mounts replaced.
General comments?
The car itself has had its general problems with age and with any car is to be expected. I love the car, its been completely reliable, always turns over, even in the coldest Chicago winters. The only real continuing problem has been the motor mounts, possibly from a small oil leak in the front main seal. Rides excellent on the highway and anywhere else. Slow off the line, but at most any other speed can haul some serious ass when needed, especially with the addition on the shift kit. No problem cruising at 80-85 mph with the car packed with stuff.
