"A disappointment"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission failure at 78,000 miles.

Alternator failure at 80,000 miles.

ABS brake module failure at 80,500 miles.

General comments?

Very disappointed at the high cost of maintenance for this car. I purchased it for the "reliability" and low maintenance costs. In less than a year I have spent over $2100 in car repairs.

The alternator life expectancy on a Buick 3.8L is 100,000 miles. An after market replacement can be baught for around $100.00. I have replaced two and it only takes about 10 minutes to do yourself. Forget dealers.

I agree, my '93 SSE is a very big disappointment. I bought it last May and since then, the O2 sensor went, the alternator failed, heads-up display works when it wants to, and the driver info center disappears at times. Now the blower motor is going. I plan on selling the car ASAP.
