1987 Buick Regal Grand National review from North America
"One of the greatest cars ever built!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Typical engine rear main seal oil leak.
Transmission needed to be rebuilt at 57,000 miles.
Headliner of course was sagging.
Engine lifters seemed to be making a "tappet" noise.
General comments?
Even with all the problems this car is known for and has had with me, this is by far the most pleasurable to drive.
Plenty of room interior.
Prices seem to be very expensive to replace parts when they go bad.
