1992 Buick Skylark GS Limited review from North America
"Excellent dependable luxury sports car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first week I had the car it blew a freeze plug at around 140,000 miles. I had all the hoses replaced at that time at around 300$.
Replaced tires and had an alignment done at around 160,000 miles. After a trip across the country (NH-CA) and two trips down the east coast.
Replaced muffler and sway bar clips at last inspection at about 185,000.
Computer system died at 197,000. Time to let her go : (
Oil changes, fuel system cleaning etc.. Normal stuff.
General comments?
The best and most reliable car I have ever owned.
Fast Fast Fast!!! I used to think Buick's were for my grandpa. 120mph handles like a dream. :)
Great car for cross country touring, though it does get a little cramped in a two door.
Everything in this car is tailored to the driver. The most comfortable seats ever. Excellent speaker system, great acoustics. This car had every available option when new in 1992!!!
I wish I had taken a little better care of this car, but not much you can do when your computer system goes. And she is a little too old to replace. But I will miss this car a lot. But after 2 cross country trips and 70 miles a day travel she just gave up, but never let me down. I paid 2800.00. I think I got my moneys worth.
And except for a small dent in the passenger side front panel. This car was brand new when I bought it.
