1990 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Diamond in the rough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the altenator four (4) times.
The brake system had to be totally overhauled.
I have rebuilt the transmission 246,000 miles.
Seats have badly worn.
Can't seem to get it to pass inspection in the state of Maryland.
Recently I have had my starter go out.
General comments?
As you may already know -- the Buick is a great automobile. The car keeps on going and with routine maintenance you can probably own the car for at least a good 300,000 miles or more (I'm on my way).
Recently my starter has gone out, but with the mileage and age of the vehicle I am not surprised.
The car has a majority of the original factory parts on it still to this day.
Otherwise my car is a gem and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
It is still comfortable and as dependable as ever (again with proper maintenance).
