1991 Buick Regal Limited review from North America
"At $2500. I feel I got my dollar's worth and more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Metal tab that holds the gas lid shut has rusted completely away.
2) Metal retainer that secures the plastic cladding on the driver's side door has rusted and fallen completely off. This leaves the cladding to bounce around when slamming the door.
3) The back-lit panel has ceased working, but only on the climate control module.
4) Power antenna grinds nowhere upon starting and shutdown. Needs replacing.
5) Disk pads, rotors all around need replacing.
General comments?
I purchased the Regal earlier this year. So far, I have found it to be extremely comfortable, a pleasure to drive and good, solid transportation.
The original owner takes all the credit here as his maintenance records and receipts reflect a dedicated routine of service. Thank you, Bob!
