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.
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!
I have recently purchased a 1991 Regal Gran Sport 2 weeks ago for $750 Cdn. It was a great purchase. The only problems are the ones that have been discussed. The missing gas tank cover, the lights in the climate control have ceased working, and I have already had to replace the brakes and water pump, but the engine, the 3800, which has 220,000 kms still has the power and acceleration it is known for. I think it is a great looking car as it is two tone black top grey bottom with all the original chrome in excellent shape. It really is a great car, I'm looking forward to putting another 220,000 kms on it.
