1989 Buick Riviera review from North America
"10 of 10"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was given the car from my uncle understanding it need repair. It would rumble at 70 Kph, the 'sending unit' in the gas tank (the fragile tubing sending and receiving gas from the engine, not the pump) was leaking very lightly. Damaged when I changed the fuel filter, was not very careful with the tubing. The rumble due to the damaged engine computer (below glove box. Found at junk yard $50 ($500 new) and rad mechanic fixed tubing for $90 (new $300).
General comments?
This car is the fully loaded highest model with a real touch screen controlling everything.
