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.
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).
I need to know how you can tell a 1989 T-type from a non T-type. I have lots of questions on a 1989 Buick LeSabre T-type. Someone who knows a lot about them please contact me at michaelshreves@gmail.com
The differences between a T-type LeSabre and a regular LeSabre are quite obvious to anyone who has ever seen the former.
The T-type only came in four colors (black, red, silver or white). It (usually) had a spoiler on the trunk lid (which on a fwd car had to be of cosmetic value only), and another under the front bumper, and a bucket seats with console/floor shift interior. It was available in the two-door body style only and the B-pillars had "T-type" logos on them (which have usually fallen off). Everything that was chrome on a regular LeSabre was painted black on the T-type.
So if your LeSabre is a green four-door with column shift and silver bumpers, you can be certain that it is not a T-type.
