1988 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Comfortable, but not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter and tranny.
General comments?
We made a mistake buying this car because it had so many miles. Whenever you went over 50 mph, the car would vibrate like you wouldn't believe.
It left us stranded once due to the starter and the transmission went at 151,000 miles. We decided that since it had so many miles, it wasn't worth fixing. We would probably get another LeSabre but with a lot less miles.
