1985 Buick Regal review from North America
"Good solid, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear chrome bumper is starting to really rust a lot.
The clear coat of paint on the roof, hood, and trunk has all faded off. The paint has started to "orange-peel"
New V-Belts
Transmission mounts at 60,000km
Air conditioning needed to be rebuilt when I purchased it.
General comments?
Interior is cozy and comfortable; definitely a long-distance driver.
Good "get-up-and-go" with solid shifts.
Can be hard on gas.
