1988 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original motor lost a rod at 171,000. Replaced motor with a used one with 71,000 on it. Have replaced the water pump, alt, radiator, heater core, battery etc. All normal stuff.
General comments?
I bought it with 131,000 miles on it. It had a slight knock which turned out to be fatal. Anyway the car now has 238,000 miles and the transmission is orig. I did put a tranny cooler on it about 20,000 miles back. It's the same engine and trans as the lesabre. I drive about 1,000 hwy miles/week and change fluids routinely. Definitely recommend!
