"I will never buy a Buick!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Head gasket needed to be replaced when I bought the car.

Paint is baked and has turned from white to a yellowish colour.

Muffler has been replaced recently, it had a bad rattling sound when accelerating.

Transmission clunks into gear when shifting.

Drivers side door wouldn't open for a while until it got fixed.

Back left window would stick when you try to put it back up.

Passenger window has trouble going up because weather stripping gets in the way.

Roof is rusting BADLY!

Chrome accessories are chipping and cloudy.

Did body work on the back left fender.

You can't boost from or too this car or the computer will mess up and she won't start or run right.

General comments?

My parents gave my brother (who doesn't even know how to do an oil change) this car for free, and he put about $1000 worth of work and parts into this car. He got the work done by the local mechanic and some done at a scrap yard.

This car has let us down almost everyday, it is an embarrassment to be seen in. But the speakers were decent before they were blown!

The interior is very faded and the woody panels aren't attractive anymore. In it's day this car was decent, but being 10 years old this car is falling apart big time! Especially with my 18 year old brother driving it like a race car.

I hardly find it surprising that you have had so many problems given the fact that you allowed a Junkyard to perform Mechanical Work on this Car. It is a fair bet that they used old worn out parts to complete any shoddy repairs.

Well the car is 17 years old for one thing. Not ten. Obviously it was not taken care of over the years also. What do you expect?
