1993 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"This Buick is quick and slick for less than nothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to do a complete brake job including rotors on the car almost immediatley after I bought it. That set me back a quick 700 dollars.
The tires went soon after (138000). They had dry rotted from the previous owner. Than ran my 400 because I chose to upgrade to white walls.
At 140000 miles I replaced the front struts as a precautionary measure. That set me back 200 dollars.
The only other problem was the paint, which had blistered from excessive heat.
General comments?
I bought this car for 1000 dollars in June 2003. Some people think that this is an old person car but it is not. This can be a car for everyone, I am 17. But I could not be happier with it. It is fast, smooth, and comfy. You really get your bang for your buck with this car.
It is easy to work on as well. I have done all my own oil changes with no fuss or mess. I installed two 10 inch sub woofers and a 480 watt amp in a afternoon. The head unit came out in a weekend. If you like to work on a car, this is your best deal.
