1983 Buick Regal review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator.
Fuel pump.
Water pump.
Carburetor.
General comments?
This was my first car. I bought it cheap so I didn't really expect a whole lot in return.
Got me from point A to point B. (As long as it was in town)
Back bumper area was completely rusted out.
The car stalled at stop signs and red lights. Not a very reliable car.
The car was already 14 years old when I bought it, so it was sort of on its last leg.
Total gas hog.
A few good things: It was comfortable, the AC still worked and the cruise control also worked as if right out of the factory.
