1994 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
"Very good car when it's below 200000 kilometres"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the two front struts, strut bearings and strut bushings at 200000 kilometers.
I replaced the alternator at 210000 kilometers.
I replaced vehicule speed sensor at 230000 kilometers.
I replaced two ball joints at 260000 kilometers.
General comments?
The 1994 Regal is a good reliable car.
It has never left me stranded and has decent power and gets good gas mileage.
As the Regal gets older it is costly to repair - if you get it fixed at the dealer.
The interior is adequate, but the seats are too soft.
For 3500 it wasn't all that bad.
There are transmission related problems, watch out for lemons.
