1973 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Overall a really good vehicle with the exception of a few minor issues."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A component was missing in the carburetor when purchased. Had it installed and the car ran 100% better.
Has a bad oil ring. Burns 1 quart of oil per 1500 miles.
The transmission leaks way to much.
General comments?
This car sat in storage for 8 years. All that it took to get it running again was a quick filing of the points and off it went.
It handles really good.
The seats and the positioning of the controls make driving this car a pleasant experience.
